Abstract: The disclosed embodiments are directed to an automatic drug delivery (ADD) system device configured to provide bolus dosing of insulin. The embodiments include a system and method for providing an improved meal input interface for the user as well as methods for the use of the information provided by the user to both improve the post-prandial bolus dosing of insulin and to advise the user on meals that will lead to improved blood glucose control for the user.

Abstract: This invention provides independent measurement of and dynamic correction for subject movement while a scanning protocol is performed by updating the scanning protocol to compensate for this movement. This simple, easy-to-use, and cost-effective approach offers greater accuracy than previous methods. Using devices with cameras and integrated radiation sources, the invention is suitable for monitoring subject movement by detecting the reflection of the radiation from markers on the subject in real-time and performing dynamic correction for this movement.

Abstract: A beat detection system provides tactile stimulation in response to musical characteristics and in particular to repetitive musical beat information. The device processes multiple acoustic bands and separates out the beat information from each band. Each band provides beat information to respective tactile mechanisms that convey the beat information to the user. The device can be worn by a person with a hearing disability to enable them to appreciate the beat of music.

Abstract: The invention permits measurement of changes in chemical concentrations where the chemicals have the same resonance peak in magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Using this approach, MRS techniques with higher resolution can be used, even though they fail to resolve chemicals of interest into different peaks. The invention can be applied to diagnose diseases, e.g., metabolic disorders, and to measure time-dependent chemical response to sensory or pharmaceutical stimuli.
