    摘要: A waste disposal system for the disposal of consumables through a waste chute into a waste container includes a waste chute having a first opening and a second opening, wherein the first opening is situated outside the waste container and the second opening opens toward the waste container. The first opening and the second opening are arranged at a first distance from one another, wherein the waste chute includes a plurality of self-resetting lamellae for the partial or complete closure of the openings. The lamellae form at least two lamella annuli arranged at a second distance above one another, wherein at least one first lamella annulus closes the first opening and at least one second lamella annulus closes the second opening, and the second distance between the lamella annuli is at least one third, preferably at least half and particularly preferably at least three quarters of the first distance.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention enable setup synchronization of an end user medical device such as a blood glucose meter. Some embodiments may include a controller including a memory; a transceiver operatively coupled to the controller; and a host computer interface operative to couple the controller to a host computer, wherein the memory is operative to store instructions executable on the controller. The instructions are adapted to cause the controller to scan for an advertising medical device using the transceiver, establish a communications connection with a medical device advertising for synchronization, and transmit synchronization data to a medical device once a communication connection has been estabilshed. Numerous other aspects are disclosed.

    摘要: In some embodiments, a reduced-pull leash device includes a first extendible leash section and a second leash section. The second leash section is longer than the unextended first leash section. The first leash section's first end is configured to couple to or near the second leash section's first end. The first leash section's second end is configured to couple to a harness at a location on top of a dog. The second leash section's second end is configured to couple to a harness at a front location of the dog. The lengths of the first and second leash sections are configured so the first leash section extends when a dog pulls on the leash until the second leash section becomes taut. Once the second leash section becomes taut, a lateral force is generated on the dog to pull the dog laterally. Numerous other embodiments are provided.
