A method, computer usable program product, or a system for managing a blood glucose level of a person including providing a device worn exterior to the person for monitoring a set of treatment factors and a set of environmental factors associated with the person, predicting a blood glucose level for the person based on the set of treatment factors and the set of environmental factors, and responsive to predicting a blood glucose level for the person dropping lower than a predetermined minimum value, supplying carbohydrates to the person.

Managing blood glucose levels

A method, system or computer usable program product for managing a potential choking condition with a monitoring system including monitoring by the monitoring system by detecting relative positions of a set of emitters disposed along an object, wherein a choking condition is indicated by the set of emitters being on close proximity to a neck portion of a body and arranged in a potentially choking configuration, and responsive to the determination of the choking condition, the monitoring system performing an action.

A host on the World Wide Web acquires a variety of facilities as subscribers and then proceeds to undertake control of the printing of images captured at the various subscribing facilities. A user is enabled to select the quality of image content captured by a digital camera. An implementation for capturing said image content at a facility controlled by a facility host includes a user computer station connected to said Web, apparatus for printing the captured image content associated with the user computer station, the user is enabled to select a level of image print quality for said captured image, the user computer station controlling the printing is connected to the remote facility host and a control implementation enables the facility host to permit said printing means to print the captured image at the user selected image print quality.

Controlling the print quality levels of images printed from images captured by tracked image recording devices

Controlling the audio-visual recording by audio-visual recording devices within a facility comprising the host or owner of the facility predetermining a plurality of value levels of at least one attribute of said audio-visual content and predetermining a plurality of limitations on the recording of audio-visual content, each corresponding to each of the value levels. There is sensing the value level of said at least one attribute and limiting the recording of said audio-visual content based upon the value level of the one attribute.

Universal method of controlling the recording of audio-visual presentations by data processor controlled recording devices

A computer implemented method, computer usable code and apparatus for locating a desired medium having a radio frequency transponder having a product unique identifier, wherein the desired medium has a medium name. A radio frequency reader or reader looks up the medium unique identifier from a user inventor based on the medium name. The reader sends an interrogate signal. The reader receives a radio frequency response having a candidate identifier. The reader determines whether the candidate identifier matches search criteria and outputs a status change to a user interface.

Method and apparatus to indicated proximity of a medium and update a user inventory

A method and apparatus provides for handling communications between an application and a device through a device driver. Calls or commands are used by the device driver to access the hardware that are common to a number of different types of devices that are to be handled by the device driver. These calls or commands are used to store or save away information in the device when an application accessing the device shifts into a background state from a foreground state. These commands are used to restore information to the device when the application shifts back into the foreground state from the background state. In addition, a range of I/O ports used to access the devices are identified and predicted. For example, with video adapters, port address ranges are trapped for addresses identified through both PCI and VESA BIOSES.

Generic virtual device driver

A method of forming inspection patterns for inspecting a workpiece, e.g., for electron beam inspection of optical photomasks. The inspection patterns are formed from the workpiece patterns themselves by applying a first positive windage to the workpiece patterns, inverting the first positive windaged workpiece patterns and applying a second positive windage to the inverted first positive windaged workpiece patterns. The inspection patterns so produced will contain the requisite guard band and the requisite overlap of abutting patterns.
