A system and related techniques to collect and manage a set of incoming message notification objects, such as instant message notifications, email notifications, download notifications, transaction notifications and others and present those objects to the user an icon, tile or other representation on a dynamically scaled timeline. According to embodiments, the dynamically scaled timeline may present the most recently received object farthest to the right on a notifications bar or facility, and slide objects to the left to represent that passage of time as those objects age. Instead of presenting those objects on a linear scale, according to the invention the time intervals in which the objects may be presented may be scaled to cause the oldest message objects to be presented on a relatively compressed dimension. The most recently received messages in contrast may be presented on wider intervals, to permit the user to perceive the differences in arrival of those items more clearly. According to embodiments, when more than one message object slides to an overlapping point with another, those objects may be stacked into a cascading message stack. When two or more stacks touch, they may be merged into a single stack. According to embodiments of the invention in another regard, when the user hovers over a given message object a popup box may appear which displays attributes of that object, such as message or other notification type, the date and time which the object was received, the source of the underlying message or other data. In further embodiments, one or more of the message notification objects may be clickable or otherwise reactivatable to reveal actions, dialogs, inputs or other interactions which were presented at the time the message was originally received, such as a query box to input a password or a selection for an email address.

In a computer system, the controller of one or more primary data recording devices sends update information to the controller of one or more secondary data recording devices to maintain a remote copy of data stored on the primary data recording devices. The primary controller receives a command from a computer that specifies a prospective suspend time after which remote copy operation is to be suspended. After the suspend time passes, the primary controller stops sending the update information to the secondary controller and begins storing indicators of the updated information in cache memory. The primary controller may resume remote copy operation in response to a command received from the computer by first entering into a pending mode of operation in which cached indicators are used to identify update information that must be sent to the secondary controller to resynchronize the remote copy. When the information for all cached indicators has been sent, normal remote copy operation may be resumed.

Methods and apparatus for providing slot reservations for slotted messages in a wireless communication network are disclosed. In one illustrative example, a mobile communication device transmits a slot reservation indication to the wireless network for reserving each nth paging slot assigned to the mobile device. At some point in time, a page message request for paging the mobile device is received within the wireless network. A page message for paging the mobile device is refrained from being transmitted within a reserved paging slot, but rather within a subsequent paging slot assigned to the mobile device after a lapse of time associated with the reserved paging slot. During the slot reservation, the mobile device may perform a function such as a GPS location fix or network scanning operation. In an alternative approach, the wireless network may infer a reservation for the mobile device through use of a neighbor list message associated with it. For example, the wireless network may examine a neighbor list message referred to as a General Neighbor List Message sent on a control channel such as the Paging Channel or the Broadcast Common Control Channel. Here, the wireless network may identify within the message the presence of a frequency different from the current network frequency, or the presence of-a wireless technology different from that of the current network, and set the reservation for the mobile device in response.

Apparatuses and methods for delivery of medicaments such as insulin disclosed herein can increase the effectiveness of therapy by adjusting medicament delivery parameters to account for the loss of medicament absorption upon delivering medicament at a new insertion site. When a needle is inserted at a new site on a patient's body for delivery of medicament to that patient, a natural inflammatory response by the body to insertion of the needle causes the body to resist absorption of the delivered medicament. However, this medicament resistance decreases over time. Embodiments of the invention therefore adjust medicament delivery to deliver less medicament as time passes after an infusion set change causes medicament to be delivered at a new insertion site.
