摘要:
A method for processing a chronological sequence of measurements of a time dependent parameter measured in or on a human body, in particular of a physiological glucose concentration, and a system thereof are disclosed. A database stores a plurality of chronological sequences of measurements of the time dependent parameter and computing and display equipment graphically displays on a user interface display at least three of the measurements of a stored sequence simultaneously. The method as well as the system enable a patient to improve self-management skills concerning a therapy that affects the behavior of the parameter.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for selectively applying image enhancement processing to parts of an image. In one embodiment, spatial processing transformations, such as sharpening for example, are reduced or bypassed for pixels having color code values within a range known to be adversely affected by the spatial processing transformations. In another embodiment, color correction processing transformations are bypassed for pixels having color code values within a neutral color range. These neutral colors may have a gray-correction transformation applied in order to better separate the neutral colors from the other colors. According to another embodiment, color code values for pixels are transformed to two or more different color spaces. If a color correction transformation will have adverse affects on a pixel in one color space, corrected data from a different color space can be utilized for the pixel.
摘要:
A pump drive and a method thereof to dispense a liquid drug from a container having a plunger piston are disclosed. The pump drive provides a unidirectional clutch provided about a rotational axis which supports centrally a wheel. The clutch has an inner race operably connected to the plunger piston, wherein the clutch is configured to rotate both the inner race about the axis in unison with rotation of the wheel in only a first direction to advance the plunger piston, and to let the wheel rotate relative to the inner race about the axis in a second direction opposite to the first direction without advancing the piston plunger. The drive in one embodiment includes at least one shape memory alloy wire which when excited rotates the wheel in the first rotational direction to advance the piston plunger and dispense the liquid drug from the container.
