  • Publication number: 20240071593
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that provide smart alerts to users, e.g., alerts to users about diabetic states that are only provided when it makes sense to do so, e.g., when the system can predict or estimate that the user is not already cognitively aware of their current condition, e.g., particularly where the current condition is a diabetic state warranting attention. In this way, the alert or alarm is personalized and made particularly effective for that user. Such systems and methods still alert the user when action is necessary, e.g., a bolus or temporary basal rate change, or provide a response to a missed bolus or a need for correction, but do not alert when action is unnecessary, e.g., if the user is already estimated or predicted to be cognitively aware of the diabetic state warranting attention, or if corrective action was already taken.

  • Patent number: 4450370
    Abstract: A tri-state buffer having the output thereof electrically connected to the input thereof is utilized to provide an active termination for a transmission line carrying data, addresses, commands or other information. The tri-state buffer is enabled by a strobe signal so as to insure that the transmission line will be stable through the time period of the strobe signal when data, commands, addresses or other information is being transferred.A tri-state buffer having the output thereof electrically tied through a resistive element to the input thereof is utilized to provide an active termination for a transmission line carrying strobe-type signals. The tri-state buffer is always in an enabled state. The resistance element is used to help match the line impedance of the transmission line. This reduces the load on the strobe signal source and also reduces transmission line ringing due to impedance mismatches.

  • Patent number: 4187540
    Abstract: A control panel which provides an interface to a digital computer, and which comprises at least a data input device such as a keyboard and a data output device such as an alphanumeric display or a light emitting diode display, is tested without the use of the digital computer. The digital computer is disconnected or bypassed and the timing and other functions of the computer are simulated to enable an independent test of the data input device and the data output device which make up at least a part of the control panel.
