Patent number: 10821222Abstract: A method and apparatus for a connection interface between a reservoir or syringe, infusion set tubing, and an infusion pump is provided. The reservoir, a base and a cap are connected to form an integrated unit that is capable of being inserted and secured in an infusion pump housing. The cap and the infusion pump are each provided with at least one sensor or at least one detectable feature, arranged to interact with at least one corresponding detectable feature or sensor on the other of the cap and infusion pump device, to detect one or more of the presence, position or other characteristic of the cap when the cap is aligned or coupled with the infusion pump housing. The detectable feature and sensor may be magnetic, RF, mechanical, optical or any combination.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2015Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.Inventors: Jacob E.

Patent number: 7520078Abstract: A plurality of identification bracelets removably attached to one another, each bracelet having a first end which includes a cover tab and a second end defining a closure tab having an adhesive portion. The cover tab of a second bracelet removably overlies the adhesive portion of a closure tab of an adjacent first identification bracelet. Upon separating the first and second bracelets, the adhesive portion of the first bracelet is exposed and the cover tab remains with the second bracelet as it is removed. The adhesive portion of the closure tab of the first bracelet is adhered to a surface of the first bracelet as it is moved from an open position to a closed position encircling an object to be identified.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2006Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Precision Dynamics CorporationInventors: Sherif M. Ali, Dean D. Peterson

Patent number: 7197842Abstract: A flexible, substantially non-stretchable, imprintable tape which includes lines of weakness constituting tear lines defining in outline a longitudinal series of symmetrical identification bracelets. Each bracelet has a generally rectangular imprintable portion, a first elongated strap portion at one end of the imprintable portion, and a second elongated strap portion at an opposite end of the imprintable portion. The imprintable portion has a width equal to the width of the tape and the first and second portions each have a width substantially less than that of the tape. The first strap portion has a longitudinal edge aligned with one of the side edges of the tape and an opposite longitudinal edge defined by one of the lines of weakness. The second strap portion has a longitudinal edge aligned with an opposite side edge of the tape relative to the first strap portion and an opposite longitudinal edge defined by another one of the lines of weakness. No part of the tape is wasted.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2004Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Assignee: Precision Dynamics CorporationInventor: Sherif M. Ali
