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.

Abstract: A surgeon training apparatus includes a cassette, which includes biological tissue repurposed into a form consistent with the anatomical configuration of abdominal hernias, affixed into an anatomically correct silicon framework which replicates the abdominal anatomy. The framework positions the cassette in an anatomically correct position within the abdominal cavity, enabling surgeons to train using a properly positioned representation of the target anatomy, thus requiring the surgeon to properly use surgical tools to correct the pathologic condition caused by the hernia. The cassette is formed by applying biologic tissue to a specially designed “plate,” which affixes the tissue block into the anatomic framework, and is adapted for connection to a grounding device so the surgeon can use cautery during the simulated hernia repair.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to devices and methods for creating one or more proxy devices in a guest device mirroring the devices hosted by a host device. The proxy devices may provide full device access functionality to applications running in the guest device. The devices and methods may load a proxy driver inside the guest device, which communicates with the host device. When applications running on the guest device interact with the proxy devices, the proxy driver communicates the interaction to the host device, which communicates with the device driver managing the device. The devices and methods allow applications running on the host and applications running on the guest to shares access to the same device.

Abstract: The present invention is a rattle reel for catching fish. The rattle reel has a wall bracket, a reel arm, and a reel. The wall bracket is a U-shaped component that attached the present invention to a wall. The reel arm is a post that connects the reel to the wall bracket. The wall bracket has a plurality of screw holes, a pivot brushing, a clamp, a wall-facing side, and an arm sleeve. The pivot brushing is a hinge that allows the reel arm to rotate. The reel arm has a battery housing, a power switch, and an alarm housing. The reel has a light, a rattle mechanism, a handle, a tension adjuster, and an alarm adjuster. The tension adjuster is an axle that controls the rotating speed of the reel. The wall bracket is fixed at the end of the reel arm and extends away from the wall bracket. The reel is placed at the opposite side of the wall bracket to ensure the structural object the present invention is attached to is not in the way of the reel.

Abstract: Described herein is a method of cooling a plurality of power devices, where the power devices are arranged as a plurality of switches used to generate a three-phase output AC voltage. Based on power device stress data, one or more switches (associated with one or more phase output AC voltages) may be identified as requiring more cooling than other of the switches. The switches are controlled to apply a common mode component voltage to each of the three phases for at least a portion of one or more output AC voltage segments. The common mode component voltage has a maximum amplitude that is sufficient to clamp the phase AC output voltage of the identified phase(s) to the positive supply rail voltage and/or negative rail supply voltage when the respective phase AC voltage is approaching respectively the positive supply rail voltage or negative supply rail voltage to cool the identified switch(es).

Abstract: An improved method is described for measuring a dimension (e.g. diameter) of a non-toothed tool, for example a grinding tool such as a diamond coated burr. The method may be implemented on a machine tool, such as a lathe, machining centre or the like. The method comprises passing a beam of light from a transmitter to a receiver. The receiver produces a received intensity signal related to the intensity of received light. Analysis of variations in the received intensity signal is performed when a rotating tool is moved relative to the light beam to enable a dimension of the tool to be measured. In particular, it may be determined when the received intensity signal has crossed a threshold for at least a defined duration, the defined duration being less than the time taken for one complete rotation of the tool.

Abstract: We describe techniques to reduce DC ripple voltage in an inverter by determining a plurality of switching events for each of the three phases in each Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) period. The switching events provide a desired target output voltage for the respective PWM period. From this determination of the switching events, a comparison can be made to determine a first time period between a first and second switching event across all of the phases, and a second time period between the second and a third switching event across all of the phases. The timing of one or more switching events in only one of the phases in the respective PWM period is adjusted in response to the determined time period being greater than a threshold in order to reduce the determined first or second time period.

Abstract: A modulation technique is described in which a controller modulates the output AC voltages to introduce an offset to the phase that is most positive or most negative such that the phase is clamped to the +dc supply when the respective phase is most positive and to the ?dc supply rail when most negative. The offset is provided by introducing a common mode component voltage to all of the phases over a plurality of output angle segments. In order to reduce the Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) and EMI, the common mode component voltage amplitude is varied over the output angles within the respective segment between a minimum and a maximum in order to control a slew rate of the rising or falling edges of the three phase AC output voltages.
