Abstract: A glucose sensor includes a working electrode, sensor electronics configured to periodically measure electrode current signal (Isig) values for the working electrode and counter voltage values (Vcntr) for the glucose sensor, one or more processors, and one or more processor-readable media. The one or more processor-readable media stores instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause performance of: generating Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) parameter values for the working electrode based on an EIS procedure; estimating a reaction surface area of the glucose sensor based on least one of Isig values, Vcntr values, or the EIS parameter values; determining a difference between the estimated reaction surface area and an expected reaction surface area of the glucose sensor; comparing the determined difference to a predetermined threshold value; and adjusting a calibration factor when the determined difference is below the predetermined threshold value.

Abstract: An network management system (NMS) architecture is disclosed that takes advantage of intelligence capable network devices for network monitoring and control. NMS functions may be distributed where possible to intelligent devices where local storage and processing may be performed. Local collection and processing of monitoring information may reduce NMS-related network traffic, permit continuing local control and operation during times of network communication disruption with the central NMS, and permit greater reliability in data collection and execution of network functions such as the enforcement of security policy at the respective intelligent devices.

Abstract: A system for managing and documenting a local area communications network is provided which deploys power sourcing equipment and powered devices by the use of active electronic modules, having an Ethernet controller and Power over Ethernet forwarding capabilities, as integral, managed components within the cable plant, to enhance management, documentation, security and emergency 911 aspects of the network as well as extending the physical reach of the network.
