20080229102System and method for platform activation - A platform discrimination indication register is stored in a wireless network card. This register holds a platform discrimination indication that indicates whether the wireless network card can be used to transfer data with notebook computers or whether the wireless network card is restricted to transferring data from a personal digital assistant or defined set of restricted devices. The platform discrimination indication can be upgraded using a key value obtained from at Internet site. This key value is limited to a specific wireless network card because of the use of a unique electronic I.D. An Internet site encrypts the electronic I.D. to produce the first key, such as a platform activation key (PAK). This first key is then decrypted at the personal data device in order to obtain a unique calculated I.D. value. If the calculated I.D. value matches the electronic I.D. value on the wireless network card, then the platform discrimination indication is altered (upgraded), allowing the operation of the wireless network card with notebook computers.09-18-2008

20100082364Medical Information Management - Method and system for detecting a device connection, receiving device identification information, receiving a code based on a subject information and the location information, receiving glucose data over the detected device connection, and storing the received glucose data with a generated code in a predetermined file format are provided.04-01-2010
20110098548METHODS FOR MODELING INSULIN THERAPY REQUIREMENTS - Various methods for improving the use of model based prediction of future blood glucose control in a patient having diabetes are described. A system for processing diabetes related information, including glucose information, for accurately predicting future glucose levels as a function of glucose data, carbohydrate intake, insulin delivery history and exercise history and then providing recommendations related to the predicted future glucose levels, is also described.04-28-2011

20100298765SAFETY FEATURES FOR INTEGRATED INSULIN DELIVERY SYSTEM - Safety features are applied to an integrated insulin delivery system to enhance safety while accounting for glucose sensor bias and calibration errors. One safety feature includes comparisons of calibrations of the sensor to nominal sensitivity and taking action, such as limiting insulin delivery or taking a further calibration of the sensor. In another feature, an automatic resumption of a basal delivery rate is programmed into the delivery device to avoid the possibility of complete loss of delivery of insulin in the event that communication with the delivery device is disrupted. Other features include steps taken to avoid hypoglycemia in the event that the sensor is negatively biased.11-25-2010
20100305661MEDICAL DEVICE ANTENNA SYSTEMS HAVING EXTERNAL ANTENNA CONFIGURATIONS - A medical device includes an antenna external to a case, package, or encapsulant for the electronic systems of the medical device. In one embodiment, a diabetes infusion pump is enclosed within a metal case, the pump including a processor and a communication module for wireless communications. An antenna is disposed in the delivery tubing of the pump outside the case with an antenna feed interconnecting the external antenna with the internal communication module. In another aspect, a thin film antenna is formed on the outer surface of the case in which a physiological parameter sensor, such as a glucose sensor, is enclosed. Multiple antennas may be used for communications on different frequencies.12-02-2010
