Publication number: 20240095938Abstract: A system comprises a computer including one or more processors and memory. The memory includes instructions such that the one or more processors are programmed to receive at least one of Red-Green-Blue (RGB) image data or infrared (IR) image data from one or more cameras communicatively connected to the one or more processors, where the RGB image data and the IR image data represents an environment including at least one individual disposed along a support surface. The one or more processors receive annotated depth image data that corresponds to the RGB image data and the IR image data. The one or more processors train a neural network with at least one of the RGB image data and the IR image data corresponding to the annotated depth image data, where the neural network is trained to predict when the individual is exiting the support surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Joshua M.

Patent number: 8727745Abstract: A system for the metering and delivery of small discrete volumes of liquid is comprised of a small or minimal number of inexpensive components. One such component is a movable member, such as a miniature precision reciprocating displacement pump head, which is driven by an actuator that comprises a shape memory alloy material. The operating mechanism of the system is of little or minimal complexity. The system facilitates the precise metering and delivery of the small discrete volumes of liquid. Potential applications for the system include subcutaneous, long-term, automated drug delivery, for example, the delivery of insulin to a person with diabetes. In such an application, the small, simple and inexpensive nature of the invention would allow for its use as both a portable and a disposable system.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2009Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Abbott Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: Benjamin M.

Patent number: 8343093Abstract: A micro fluid delivery device is particularly useful in medical applications. The device may be worn or carried by the user and may deliver drugs or other medicaments to the user or patient. The device has a control system that accepts input from the user and controls all aspects of operation of the device. The control system measures the output of the pump and adjusts the output of the pump to achieve the desired dosage rate and size. This eliminates differences from pump to pump that result from inevitable variations in the manufacturing of such small scale affordable devices.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Abbott Diabetes Care Inc.Inventor: Benjamin M.
