20090112478 | Modified Sensor Calibration Algorithm - A method of calibrating glucose monitor data includes collecting the glucose monitor data over a period of time at predetermined intervals, obtaining reference glucose values from a reference source that temporally correspond with the glucose monitor data obtained at the predetermined intervals, calculating the calibration characteristics using the reference glucose values and corresponding glucose monitor data to regress the obtained glucose monitor data, and calibrating the obtained glucose monitor data using the calibration characteristics. In additional embodiments, calculation of the calibration characteristics includes linear regression and, in particular embodiments, least squares linear regression. Alternatively, calculation of the calibration characteristics includes non-linear regression. Data integrity may be verified and the data may be filtered. Further, calibration techniques may be modified during a fast rate of change in the patient's blood glucose level to increase sensor accuracy. | 04-30-2009 |

20120259278 | Algorithm Sensor Augmented Bolus Estimator for Semi-Closed Loop Infusion System - An infusion system is for infusing a fluid into the body of a patient. The infusion system includes at least one sensor for monitoring blood glucose concentration of the patient and an infusion device for delivering fluid to the patient. The sensor produces at least one sensor signal input. The infusion device uses the at least one sensor signal input and a derivative predicted algorithm to determine future blood glucose levels. The infusion device delivers fluid to the patient when future blood glucose levels are in a patient's target range. The infusion device is capable of suspending and resuming fluid delivery based on future blood glucose levels and a patient's low shutoff threshold. The infusion device suspends fluid delivery when future blood glucose levels falls below the low shutoff threshold. The infusion device resumes fluid delivery when a future blood glucose level is above the low shutoff threshold. | 10-11-2012 |

20120117967 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EXTRACTING ENERGY - A method and apparatus for efficiently extracting geothermal energy from a subterranean thermal reservoir through a wellbore where the heat exchange fluid is introduced at a slower velocity than the velocity at which the fluid is extracted. The method and apparatus further comprises a gas zone near the top of the wellbore to reduce heat losses of the heat exchange fluid. A portion of the casing of the wellbore can directly contact the subterranean environment for improved thermal conductivity. Alternatively, a thermally conductive wall comprising a thermally conductive material can surround a potion of the casing of the wellbore. Further, the inner and/or outer surface of the pipes and conduits of the disclosed method and apparatus can include features that enhance the surface areas for improved heat transfer efficiency. | 05-17-2012 |

20160077916 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SYSTEM-ON-A-CHIP SUBSYSTEM EXTERNAL ACCESS DETECTION AND RECOVERY - Systems and methods for external access detection and recovery in a subsystem of a system-on-a-chip (SoC) in a portable computing device (PCD) are presented. In operation, a subsystem of the SoC is operated in an internal mode independently of the SoC while the SoC is in a low power state, such as a non-functional or zero power state or mode. The subsystem comprises a processor in communication with a memory, a sensor, and a monitor module. The monitor module detects when the processor of the subsystem requests access to a component external to the subsystem. In response to this detected request, the SoC is caused to enter into a full power state or mode, and the subsystem is caused to exit the internal mode of operation. | 03-17-2016 |

20130132972 | THERMALLY DRIVEN WORKLOAD SCHEDULING IN A HETEROGENEOUS MULTI-PROCESSOR SYSTEM ON A CHIP - Various embodiments of methods and systems for thermally aware scheduling of workloads in a portable computing device that contains a heterogeneous, multi-processor system on a chip (“SoC”) are disclosed. Because individual processing components in a heterogeneous, multi-processor SoC may exhibit different processing efficiencies at a given temperature, and because more than one of the processing components may be capable of processing a given block of code, thermally aware workload scheduling techniques that compare performance curves of the individual processing components at their measured operating temperatures can be leveraged to optimize quality of service (“QoS”) by allocating workloads in real time, or near real time, to the processing components best positioned to efficiently process the block of code. | 05-23-2013 |

20140047549 | METHOD AND DEVICES FOR SELECTIVE RAM SCRAMBLING - A method for selectively scrambling data within a memory associated with a computing device based on data tagging. The computing device may define security domains that are protected. Data generated by an application may be packaged as a data bus transaction having tagging information describing the application and/or the data. The data bus transaction may be transmitted over a bus of the computing device to a memory, such as internal memory, where the computing device may compare the tagging information to stored information describing security domains. When the data is determined to be protected based on the tagging information, the computing device may perform scrambling operations on the data. In an aspect, the tagging information may describe a virtual machine used to execute various applications on a processor. In another aspect, the tagging information may define destination memory addresses or content protection bit values. | 02-13-2014 |
20140282501 | Algorithm and Apparatus To Deploy Virtual Machine Monitor on Demand - In the various aspects, virtualization techniques may be used to improve performance and reduce the amount of power consumed by selectively enabling a hypervisor operating on a computing device during sandbox sessions. In the various aspects, a high-level operating system may allocate memory such that its intermediate physical addresses are equal to the physical addresses. When the hypervisor is disabled, the hypervisor may suspend second stage translations from intermediate physical addresses to physical addresses. During a sandbox session, the hypervisor may be enabled and resume performing second stage translations. | 09-18-2014 |
