  • Patent number: 10881355
    Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to an analyte monitoring device having a user interface with a display and a plurality of actuators. The display is configured to render a plurality of display screens, including a home screen and an alert screen. The home screen is divided into a plurality of simultaneously displayed panels, with a first panel displays a rate of change of continuously monitored analyte levels in interstitial fluid, a second panel simultaneously displays a current analyte level and an analyte trend indicator, and a third panel displays status information of a plurality of components of the device. When an alarm condition is detected, the display renders the alert screen in place of the home screen, the alert screen displaying information corresponding to the detected alarm condition. Furthermore, the actuators are configured to affect further output of the analyte monitoring device corresponding to the detected condition.

  • Publication number: 20200313411
    Abstract: In aspects of a cable stacker, the cable stacker includes a base for placement against a framing stud, and has dividers that extend perpendicular from the base. The dividers form cable slots between the dividers, and the cable slots accommodate cables that are guided in place between the dividers through open ends of the cable slots. The cable stacker can include cable separators that extend perpendicular from the dividers into the cable slots to separate the cables that are guided in place between the dividers. The cable stacker can also include cable retention tabs integrated with the dividers, where the cable retention tabs cover at least a portion of the open ends of the cable slots and retain the cables in the cable slots.

  • Publication number: 20200163549
    Abstract: A glucose measuring system includes a glucose meter that incorporates wireless communication capabilities. The meter can advantageously be a low cost meter by eliminating expensive components, such as the display. The user nevertheless is able to retrieve and view his or her glucose values by referring to displays within the glucose measuring local area network. Feedback via these displays can advantageously be used by the diabetic to create a higher level of confidence and safety.
