Abstract: Methods and devices to detect analyte in body fluid are provided. Embodiments include positioning an analyte sensor in fluid contact with an analyte, detecting an attenuation in a signal from an analyte sensor after positioning during a predetermined time period, categorizing the detected attenuation in the analyte sensor signal based, at least in part, on one or more characteristics of the signal, performing signal processing to generate a reportable data associated with the detected analyte sensor signal during the predetermined time period, managing if and when to request additional reference signal measurements, and managing if and when to temporarily not display results.

Abstract: This is a net 405 and net frame 401 system which can be used to skim for oil, whereas the Netting 405 is designed specifically for a Net Frame 401. When skimming or trolling out beside a vessel or boat 300, the Netting or Net Bags 405 are made of a porous material and or weaving so to allow the water to pass through, but the oil. Because the oil cannot pass through, it is therefore is collected or trapped in the netting. The Net Frames 401 can resemble a simple crab traps and the Net Bags 405 can be attached in a similar way as a kitchen pale or like a trash bag in a trash can. Once the net bags 405 become filled with skimmed oil, they can be taken off, cinched or secured, and the thrown away or hauled off (etc.) while another fresh bag is put on or replaced. The old bags are towed to a dumping location where they are: disposed, cleaned and reused, burned, etc.

Abstract: This is a new oil spill response process made up of a group of new inventions and or technologies that are new to the oil spill response industry. When used in any combination, these new inventions compliment each other forming a new process for cleaning up oil spills. These new inventions can work by themselves, and or they can work with any of the older equipment, techniques, and or processes for cleaning oil spills.

Abstract: This is a oil skimming barge 107 with the optional front end 111 and intake area 110 at the stern 203 of the barge skimmer 107, whereby oil 101 is funnel into the intake area 110, then suctioned to collection tanks 120 where the oil separates from the water using basically gravity with the help of equipment than can be added, and then the water 102 is pumped or drained overboard while a higher concentration of oil 101 remains or gets pumped into the main collection tanks.

Abstract: A Air Bubble Barrier blockade is a new invention that can be used in a oil spill response as a ‘blockade’ or ‘barrier’ to prevent oil from entering a area to be protected. The Air Bubble Barrier works by releasing a wall of air bubbles 133 from below the water surface, usually from a Bubble Pipe system 137 and anchored on the floor of a body of water floor, so that the rising air bubbles 133 form a up-current which reverses or halts the surface current thereby preventing or slowing surface pollutants such as oil from entering a area, while also making skimming or suctioning easier and putting oxygen back into the water.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to an analyte monitoring device having a user interface with a display and a plurality of actuators. The display is configured to render a plurality of display screens, including a home screen and an alert screen. The home screen is divided into a plurality of simultaneously displayed panels, with a first panel displays a rate of change of continuously monitored analyte levels in interstitial fluid, a second panel simultaneously displays a current analyte level and an analyte trend indicator, and a third panel displays status information of a plurality of components of the device. When an alarm condition is detected, the display renders the alert screen in place of the home screen, the alert screen displaying information corresponding to the detected alarm condition. Furthermore, the actuators are configured to affect further output of the analyte monitoring device corresponding to the detected condition.

Abstract: This invention relates to oil spill response. This invention is several independent inventions making up a system. Each part of the system can be used by itself, with each other, and or with any other oil spill response equipment or system. This provides particular methods of crating barriers between the oil and areas to be protected, a method of gaining access to environmentally sensitive areas for spill clean up and response, a particular method of suctioning the spilled oil or pollutants, particular equipment used to suction oil from the water surface, and a way to create efficiency in the clean up and response operations.

Abstract: This is a River Rail system which can be used to move barges or any water going vessel through, up, across. or down a body of water whereby the barge or vessel may attach, use the system in some way or benefit during transit, and then de-attaching from the system. This system can upgrade the transport of goods or people by water industries while also providing a method of creating carbon credits, clean electricity, adding safety in transportation, and possibly eliminating 100% of all fuel consumed by the entire water going transport of people or goods industry through any body of water.
