Systems and methods for minimizing or eliminating transient non-glucose related signal noise due to non-glucose rate limiting phenomenon such as ischemia, pH changes, temperatures changes, and the like. The system monitors a data stream from a glucose sensor and detects signal artifacts that have higher amplitude than electronic or diffusion-related system noise. The system replaces some or the entire data stream continually or intermittently including signal estimation methods that particularly address transient signal artifacts. The system is also capable of detecting the severity of the signal artifacts and selectively applying one or more signal estimation algorithm factors responsive to the severity of the signal artifacts, which includes selectively applying distinct sets of parameters to a signal estimation algorithm or selectively applying distinct signal estimation algorithms.

A system and method of managing therapy provided to patients in an institution. The system monitors all aspects of the medication delivery to a patient, as well as other information related to the patient, such as values of vital signs, laboratory results and patient factors such as history, diagnosis, allergies and the like.

A traffic management system for use in a communications network, including a detection module for determining the source addresses of received network packets, and for comparing the source addresses with stored source address data for network packets received in a previous time period. The system monitors increases in the number of new source IP addresses of received packets to detect a network traffic anomaly such as a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack or a flash crowd. If a traffic anomaly is detected, a filtering module performs history-based filtering to block a received packet unless one or more legitimate packets with the same source address have been previously received in a predetermined time period.

A method of root cause analysis in a virtual machine environment includes receiving a plurality of events from a system monitoring the virtualized environment. The events may include alarms or alerts, such as alarms or alerts associated with a resource reaching or exceeding a threshold. The capacity manager consumes these events and performs event correlation to produce a set of correlated events. The capacity manager performs a root cause analysis on the set of correlated events to identify one or more root causes. The capacity manager further performs an impact analysis to determine how the root cause impacts the system, such as other virtual machines, hosts or resource in the virtual environment. Based on the root cause and impact analysis, the capacity manager makes one or more recommendations to address issues with or to improve the operations and/or performance of the virtualized environment.

A method and system for providing rules-based or algorithms based automated response optimization in the email-marketing environment such that recipient responses during the delivery process of an email campaign influence the delivery parameters and/or message elements of the portions of the campaign yet to be mailed. Responses to an email marketing campaign determine its marketing effectiveness and include delivery statistics, undeliverable statistics, opens, link-clicks, replies, opt-outs, and conversion events. Conversion events are recipient actions that are intended results from the marketing campaign and include marketing or service transactions that are completed online (e.g. purchases, registrations, filling out surveys, etc) and/or offline (e.g. brand awareness, store visits etc.). The system monitors emails as they are being received by recipients during delivery and, based on rules established by the marketer or on default rules established by the system using algorithms, tracks designated response statistics and dynamically alters the email elements, such as subject line and/or other content, including clickable links so that messages that produce the most desirable response statistics is sent to a greater percentage of the remaining recipients. Rather than completing the entire emailing operation using the same content throughout, this invention allows for changing the content for emails remaining to be sent so that the more effective content (in terms of stimulating favorable recipient reactions and purchases) is delivered to as many of the recipients as possible. Additionally, the process may be applied between separately mailed campaigns so that the delivery parameters for subsequent campaigns in a “campaign stream” are automatically modified based on the results of the prior campaigns in the stream and on the rules being applied to the stream.

Systems and methods are described for software-defined approaches to energy communication networks (ECNs). For example, electrical substations typically host many Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs) that monitor and/or control the state of the substations' electricity infrastructures. Critical data from the IEDs can be packaged and transmitted between multiple IEDs for proper system monitoring and control. Even modern networks that interconnect IEDs tend to manifest many limitations, ranging from setup complexity to security policies. Embodiments use novel software-defined networking techniques to address these and other limitations. In some embodiments, power system requirements (e.g., data and communications requirements of IEDs) are translated into a set of networking requirements (e.g., as central routing tables). One implementation uses a Ryu-based, software-defined network controller. Embodiments provide features, such as auto-configuration, security management, re-routing, and flexibility to handle rapid evolution of the smart grid.
