  • Patent number: 11103164
    Abstract: Methods and systems for sensor calibration and sensor glucose (SG) fusion are used advantageously to improve the accuracy and reliability of orthogonally redundant glucose sensor devices, which may include optical and electrochemical glucose sensors. Calibration for both sensors may be achieved via fixed-offset and/or dynamic regression methodologies, depending, e.g., on sensor stability and Isig-Ratio pair correlation. For SG fusion, respective integrity checks may be performed for SG values from the optical and electrochemical sensors, and the SG values calibrated if the integrity checks are passed. Integrity checks may include checking for sensitivity loss, noise, and drift. If the integrity checks are failed, in-line sensor mapping between the electrochemical and optical sensors may be performed prior to calibration.

    Abstract: A system and method for interactive table top ordering in multiple languages and restaurant management provides a table top food and drink ordering device that mounts to table top of a restaurant. The ordering device electronically displays a menu to a customer in a language selected by the customer. The ordering device allows the customer to navigate through the menu to select menu options. The ordering device allows the customer to submit inquiries in a selected language through voice or text for communicating with restaurant employees. The inquiry is translated through a rules based machine translation, or a statistical machine translation, or both, or additional unknown translation methods on a backend network, such as a cloud, and the translation methods can also be expended into others in the future. A translation module comprises a software having Artificial Intelligence processing, and a database to translate the menu order and customer's inquiry to the selected language.

  • Patent number: 10664569
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and related method of reporting glucose information for a user of a diabetes management device are presented here. An embodiment of the method obtains input data for the user of the diabetes management device, and identifies a tracked glycemic response event. One or more recommended glycemic control parameters are calculated based on an analysis of the obtained input data. The glycemic control parameters are calculated to extend a time period during which the user remains within a target glucose range following the tracked glycemic response event. The method continues by generating an output message that includes at least some of the recommended glycemic control parameters, and delivering the generated output message to a user device operated by the user of the diabetes management device.
