A method for individualized management of diabetes in insulin-dependent patients provides a period of evaluation as the patient adheres to a structured pattern of eating, sleeping, and physical activity. Glucose is monitored with a continuous glucose monitoring system, insulin doses are metered, carbohydrate consumption is quantified, and glucose, carbohydrate, and insulin data are collected and analyzed. Insulin dosage is adjusted in three steps: (1) an insulin dosage is estimated from conventional formulas, (2) adjustments are made according to the patient's clinical specifics, and (3) further insulin dose adjustments are made according to glucose data obtained during the evaluation period. By the end of the evaluation period, substantially normal glucose values are achieved, and quantitative relationships from data are calculated that are then applied to determine insulin dosages for an ensuing period of therapy. By this method, diabetic patients achieve a near normal glycemic profile, and without significant occurrence of hypoglycemic episodes.

A biological condition evaluation apparatus determines a symptom of a heart abnormality based on at least one index calculated from a heartbeat interval and/or a pulse interval. The apparatus determines whether it is in a referential period where an amount of change in the index is comparatively small. The apparatus determines whether a plurality of conditions are satisfied or not in an evaluation period set after the referential period. One condition is that an amount of change in the index in the evaluation period is greater than that observed during the referential period. Another condition is that a rate of change in the index is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value. The apparatus determines that there is a symptom of a heart abnormality, when both the conditions are satisfied.

A method is provided of predicting a degree of service-quality compliance in an IT infrastructure. The method is carried out at a current point of time within an evaluation period before the end of the evaluation period, wherein service-quality compliance means that a service-quality parameter of the IT infrastructure complies with a service-quality objective. The method includes obtaining a statistic which indicates probabilities that the service-quality parameter will comply with the service-quality objective in sub-periods of the future part of the evaluation period. The statistic is based on known compliance frequencies in equivalent sub-periods in the past. A calculation, on the basis of the statistic, indicates an estimated duration in which the service-quality objective will be complied with during the future part of the evaluation period.

A dynamic logic register including a complementary pair of evaluation devices, delayed inversion logic, a dynamic evaluator, latching logic, and a keeper circuit coupled to the output. The evaluation devices are responsive to a clock signal and provide a pre-charged node and an evaluation node. The delayed inversion logic outputs a complete signal that is a delayed and inverted version of the clock signal. The dynamic evaluator, coupled between the pre-charged and evaluation nodes, evaluates a logic function based on a data signal during an evaluation period between operative edges of the clock and complete signals. The latching logic enables the state of an output node to be determined by the state of the pre-charged node during the evaluation period and otherwise clamps the pre-charged node to prevent perturbations of the data signal from propagating to the output node.

A location visit confirmation service includes a portable wireless device, a schedule of predetermined sites, a location identification means and a central processor. The central processor periodically receives position data generated by the location identification means identifying the location of the portable wireless device. The central processor compares this position data to the schedule of predetermined sites. Using a threshold based on distance, or distance and time, it is determined whether a service person completed a visit to one of the sites in the schedule. At the end of the site visit confirmation evaluation period, a summary report is generated that confirms those scheduled site visits that were completed. The summary report is provided by the wireless carrier to the subscriber.

Systems and methods for measuring the performance of calls on securities by a securities analyst during an evaluation period are disclosed. According to various embodiments, the system may include a performance evaluation module. The performance evaluation module is for determining a value (called the “hit ratio”) indicative of the success of the calls by the analyst for securities within a benchmark group of securities within an industry covered by the analyst relative to a benchmark return for the benchmark group for the corresponding call periods of the calls. The hit ratio may be computed as the ratio of the sum of the actual excess returns to the sum of the total available excess returns for each call by the analyst over the call evaluation period. The contributions to the hit ratio by each call may be equally weighted or weighted according to market capitalization of the rated security.
