Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090037220Portable medical monitoring and diagnostic system - A patient care distribution and management system is provided. The system allows for the seamless roaming of a patient within a particular medical facility or between medical facilities. The system includes body area network (BAN) management agents which process data within specified parts of a defined operational remit of a medical facility, a BAN hub agent associated with each patient that communicates with a BAN management agent and stores patient data delivered thereto by medical telemetry monitor diagnostic devices (MTMDDs) connected to each patient. The essential feature of the system is that the BAN hub agent has relatively little processing power compared to the BAN management agent which feeds it with patient monitoring rules to monitor the patient condition and to enable the BAN hub agent to set off alarms etc. as required.02-05-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090131208Tensioner With Molded Arm - A tensioner for tensioning a flexible drive means is disclosed which has fewer components than comparable prior art tensioners. The tensioner is less expensive to manufacture and assemble and is easily installed. The tensioner includes a tensioner arm molded from a suitable plastic material and a pivot bushing formed from a different material, the pivot bushing preferably being over molded about the tensioner arm. The pivot bushing and tensioner arm include a series of longitudinal slots to form fingers from the tensioner arm and pivot bushing, the fingers engaging the pivot surface of the pivot shaft about which the arm pivots. A coil spring is used to bias a rotatable member on the tensioner arm into contact with the flexible drive means to be tensioned and a portion of the coil spring engages the fingers to squeeze them to increase the frictional force between the pivot bushing and the pivot surface to dampen the tensioner when the tensioner arm is moved in one direction. A unique thermal management system is also disclosed which employs thermal insulating coatings and thermal dispersant coatings to manage the temperature of the tensioner arm to enhance its expected operating lifetime.05-21-2009

20100077230PROTECTING A PROGRAMMABLE MEMORY AGAINST UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATION - This disclosure provides an apparatus including a programmable memory, a data write path for writing data into the memory and a data read path for reading data from the memory. The memory comprises at least one protected memory field. The data write path comprises a decryption unit that is adapted for receiving encrypted data, decrypting the encrypted data, and writing resulting plain data into the at least one protected memory field. The data read path is adapted for reading out the plain data stored in the protected memory field. The at least one protected memory field is only writable by applying the data to be written into the at least one protected memory field in encrypted form to the data write path.03-25-2010
20100293388PROTECTING SECRET INFORMATION IN A PROGRAMMED ELECTRONIC DEVICE - This disclosure provides a way for securely protecting secret information—for example, a secret key—in a programmed electronic device. A technique is disclosed for protecting secret information in a programmed electronic device that includes a non-trusted memory containing software, a data memory containing the secret information, and an access restriction logic unit that is adapted to allow or block access to the secret information wherein the secret information is adapted to be used for verifying the integrity of the software.
