| 20110184348 | DUAL CHAMBER AND GEAR PUMP ASSEMBLY FOR A HIGH PRESSURE DELIVERY SYSTEM - A high pressure delivery device for delivering a medicament includes a first chamber for storing a supply of the medicament and a second chamber in fluid communication with the first chamber. A fluid connection path is in fluid communication with the second chamber for administering the medicament. A valving system is in fluid communication with the first chamber, the second chamber and the fluid connection path. The valving system allows a dose of the medicament to be injected from the first chamber into the second chamber while substantially preventing backflow of the dose into the first chamber and substantially preventing leakage through the fluid connection path. The valving system also allows the dose in the second chamber to be administered through the fluid connection path while substantially preventing the dose from flowing back into the first chamber. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20080269585 | System for determining insulin dose using carbohydrate to insulin ratio and insulin sensitivity factor - An apparatus and method are provided for determining a patient's carbohydrate to insulin ratio (CIR) and insulin sensitivity factor (ISF), and using these values, along with values for current blood glucose level and deviation from target blood glucose level, for determining insulin dose in view of carbohydrate intake during a particular time period. The apparatus and method employ algorithms that can be implemented in any of a personal computer, personal data assistant, hand held computing device, blood glucose monitor, infusion pump, medication delivery pen, meter, calculator, among other therapeutic, diagnostic or informational devices used for managing a patient's blood glucose levels. | 10-30-2008 |
| 20090240129 | Apparatus and method for monitoring blood glucose levels including convenient diplay of blood glucose value average and constituent values - A method of presenting glucose data to a person with diabetes from a blood glucose meter is provided in which an effective meal average (EMA) value is presented, followed by two or more of the individual values that make up the EMA, to provide improved feedback data for clinical decisions by patients who need to alter their dose of insulin. The EMA can also comprise a measure of the variability of its constituent values. The EMA encompasses those values that occur at specified times such as 1 hour before and 1 hour after a specified meal time. The EMA is calculated over a limited number of days previous to the calculation (e.g., 3 days) and has a minimum number of values that must be obtained within the time and date ranges. An algorithm allows for exclusion of any given reading from the average (e.g., post-prandial or control solution readings). Patients can use 1 to 8 EMA on any given date range (e.g., preferably 4, that is, breakfast, lunch, supper and bedtime snack). | 09-24-2009 |

| 20090144122 | System and Method for Transaction Log Cleansing and Aggregation - A computer-implemented method prepares data for modeling. The method comprises storing data from customer sales transactions in a database and retrieving a dataset of the data from the database. The dataset may include promotion and merchandizing entries. The method includes cleansing the dataset to remove erroneous and anomalous entries. Cleansing the dataset may include determining a threshold value from the dataset and determining whether a value of the dataset exceeds the threshold value, and determining an out-of-stock status for a product from the dataset. The method includes aggregating the dataset over a plurality of dimensions of the transactional space including store, product, and time dimensions, and analyzing the dataset following the cleansing and aggregating steps within a model to predict attributes of subsequent sales transactions. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20110071883 | System and Method of Model Forecasting Based on Supply and Demand - A computer-implemented method transforms transactional data and supply data into a forecast of demand for controlling a commerce system. Goods move between members of a commerce system. Transactional data related to movement of goods between the members of the commerce system is recorded. The transactional data includes customer store, product, time, price, promotion, and merchandizing. Supply data related to movement of goods between the members of the commerce system is recorded. The supply data includes inventory, product, store, and merchandising readily available for purchase. Model parameters are estimated based on the transactional data and supply data using a model to generate a forecast of demand for the goods. The forecast of demand for the goods is provided to a member of the commerce system to control the movement of goods in the commerce system. The forecasts of demand takes into account an out-of-stock condition, price promotion, and promotional lift of the product. | 03-24-2011 |

| 20080278494 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INFORMATION DISPLAY - N or more dimensions of information are presented on a conventional M-dimensional graph, where N>M, using a visual attribute type such as color to depict the additional dimensions of information. Each data input value comprised by the graph has additional values beyond those representing the M-dimensional aspects, and the visual attributes with which the data input value is presented on the graph is a function of these additional values. In one embodiment, a two-dimensional bar graph employs color to provide a visualization of the quality of a work schedule by depicting not only time and resource utilization, but also criticality of component work tasks. | 11-13-2008 |
| 20080306802 | System and Method for Distribution of Campaign Resources - A system and method for distribution of campaign resources generates proposed allocations of resources, predicts electoral results based on such proposals, and selects strategies based on predetermined metrics. Both the activities of a protagonist (e.g., candidate) and of one or more opponents are considered. A campaign model considers polling impacts from the proposed allocations as well as electoral projections based on polling. Results are presented to a user via maps and timelines, as well as by alphanumeric data. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090070031 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATED UPDATING OF MAP INFORMATION - Traffic information readings corresponding to a vehicle are received, the readings including at least a location. The traffic information readings are compared to information already within a map database, and are used to derive additional map information augmenting or correcting that already within the database, the additional map information subsequently being stored in the database. Additional information that is derived includes the presence of stop signs and traffic lights at intersections, the legality of turns at certain times of day, and the connectedness or non-connectedness of road segments. | 03-12-2009 |

| 20110040673 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LINKING ORDERS IN ELECTRONIC TRADING SYSTEMS - Systems and methods for linking orders in electronic trading systems are provided. These systems and methods enable a trader to select two or more items that are to be linked and specify linking parameters for those items. Any desired set of items may be linked, and the linking parameters may include price adjustments, order sequencing instructions, automatic/manual execution controls, execution delays commands, and update frequency limits. Upon detecting a bid or offer for a linked item, the systems and methods may then determine a size and a price for each linked item based upon the size and the price of the bid or offer for the first linked item. In this way, the sizes and the prices for the other linked items may be propagated from the size and the price for the first item. Once the size and the price for each item is determined, the systems and methods may submit orders for the items in accordance with the linking parameters. In the case where orders for linked items may only be submitted in designated lot sizes, the systems and methods may round the sizes of the orders to the designated lot sizes, and then submit remainder orders to make up for the rounding. | 02-17-2011 |
