Abstract: An integrated circuit for a receiving link device includes a processing device to detect, using an equalizer of the receiving link device, that a receiver (RX) pre-cursor value is outside of a threshold value based on a target RX tap value. The processing device further generates, based on the detecting, a plurality of tap messages having a plurality of up or down commands to one of decrease or increase a corresponding transmitter (TX) pre-cursor value of a transmitting link device. The processing device further causes the plurality of tap messages to be provided to a local transmitter to be transmitted to the transmitting link device. The plurality of tap messages is to cause the transmitting link device to adjust the corresponding TX pre-cursor value.

Abstract: A peritoneal dialysis system includes a control unit configured to (i) store a sleep state pattern for the patient, (ii) begin a patient drain followed by a patient fill when at least one sensor indicates that the patient is in a deep sleep state, (iii) extend a dwell period if the sleep state pattern indicates that the patient will enter a subsequent deep sleep state within a first time duration after a programmed dwell period, and (iv) shorten the dwell period if the sleep state pattern indicates that the patient will leave the deep sleep state within a second time duration after an end of the programmed dwell period. The system alternatively or additionally assesses or records a stress level of and/or a fluid/caloric intake by the patient and takes actions accordingly.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a calorimetric device for performing colorimetric analysis of a test fluid to evaluate associated physiological parameters. The images of the test strip at different heights are captured by the calorimetric device and based on analysis of the captured images, a plurality of geometric parameters respectively associated with the test strip is determined. Based on the plurality of geometric parameters, an image resizing factor is determined and resized images are generated based on the image resizing factor. Upon generating the resized images, calorimetric values respectively associated with the resized images are determined based on which physiological parameters associated with the test fluid are evaluated.
