Abstract: Transient voltage noise, including resistive and reactive noise, causes timing errors at runtime. A heuristic framework, Walking Pads, is introduced to minimize transient voltage violations by optimizing power supply pad placement. It is shown that the steady-state optimal design point differs from the transient optimum, and further noise reduction can be achieved with transient optimization. The methodology significantly reduces voltage violations by balancing the average transient voltage noise of the four branches at each pad site. When pad placement is optimized using a representative stressmark, voltage violations are reduced 46-80% across 11 Parsec benchmarks with respect to the results from IR-drop-optimized pad placement. It is shown that the allocation of on-chip decoupling capacitance significantly influences the optimal locations of pads.

Abstract: A system, method and non-transient computer readable medium for tracking hypoglycemia risk in patients with diabetes exercise. A system may include a digital processor configured to execute instructions to receive an input from each available data source of a plurality of intermittently available data sources; determine a plurality of probability signals for impending hypoglycemia, wherein each probability signal is based on one or more of the inputs from the available data sources or a lack of input from an unavailable data source; wherein a probability signal for each unavailable data source is assigned a value corresponding to a zone of uncertainty; and determine an aggregate risk of hypoglycemia based on the plurality of intermittently data sources by aggregating the plurality of probability signals.

Abstract: This invention provides an device for electrical stimulation of the spinal cord. The device has an electrode assembly with a sufficiently thin profile to be implanted between the pial surface of the spinal cord and the dura mater, and secured to the dura. Electrodes on the electrode assembly are directed towards the surface of the spinal cord, and connected through the dura to a signal generator located outside the dura. Following implantation, the subject is treated by transmitting electrical signals from the signal generator through the leads to the electrodes, stimulating the subject's spinal cord.

Abstract: Both purinergic signaling through nucleotides such as ATP and noradrenergic signaling through molecules such as norepinephrine regulate vascular tone and blood pressure. Pannexin1 (Panx1), which forms large-pore, ATP-releasing channels, is present in vascular smooth muscle cells in peripheral blood vessels and participates in noradrenergic responses. Using pharmacological approaches and mice conditionally lacking Panx1 in smooth muscle cells, we found that Panx1 contributed to vasoconstriction mediated by the α1 adrenoreceptor (α1AR), whereas vasoconstriction in response to serotonin or endothelin-1 was independent of Panx1. Analysis of the Panx1-deficient mice showed that Panx1 contributed to blood pressure regulation especially during the night cycle when sympathetic nervous activity is highest. Using mimetic peptides and site-directed mutagenesis, we identified a specific amino acid sequence in the Panx1 intracellular loop that is essential for activation by α1AR signaling. Collectively, these data describe a specific link between noradrenergic and purinergic signaling in blood pressure homeostasis.

Abstract: Provided are a system and method for an artificial pancreas having multi-stage model predictive control to minimize and/or prevent occurrence of hypoglycemia associated with Type 1 diabetes. The control implements predictive modeling of a probability of glucose uptake associated with exercise based on at least one exercise profile for a subject with Type 1 diabetes. Based on the probability, the control implements an automatic adjustment of basal insulin infusion to counteract a risk of exercise-induced hypoglycemia in advance of the subject engaging in the exercise. The control implements adjustment of such infusion based on real-time signaling of exercise likely to induce hypoglycemia. The control implements adjustment of a meal-time bolus to account for delay in glucose uptake resulting from exercise engaged in by the subject. Consequently, the control acts to minimize and/or prevent hypoglycemia from occurring both during and immediately after exercise.

Abstract: A method and system use mathematical models and available patient information to virtualize a continuous glucose monitoring trace for a period of time. Such a method and system can generate the virtualized trace when episodic patient data is incomplete. Such a method and system can also rely on self-monitored blood glucose measurement information to improve the virtualized continuous glucose monitoring trace.
