Patent number: 7651489Abstract: Systems and methods for the delivery and monitoring of a medication, such as insulin, to a recipient are provided. An exemplary feature-rich system comprises an infusion pump with a control system for controlling medication delivery by the infusion pump and a bolus estimator for estimating an appropriate amount of medication for delivery by the control system with the infusion pump. Estimating the appropriate amount of medication for delivery is based upon one or more settings which each vary according to a setting profile. In other embodiments, the control system comprises a suspend function for temporarily suspending medication delivery by the infusion pump, an alarm profile function for programming a variable alarm volume of the alarm and a simplified menu for controlling the dual wave bolus delivery function.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2005Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: Medtronic MiniMed, Inc.Inventors: Mark C. Estes, Leif N. Bowman, Denetta Malave, Cary Dean Talbot

Publication number: 20090283624Abstract: A consumable roller holder is disclosed that provides a pair of arms extending from an essentially centrally located mount. A spindle is coupled to one of the arms for supporting a consumable roll and one of the arms is configured to pivot between a closed position and an opened position at which the arm is self-supporting to resist rotation of the arm toward the closed position.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 19, 2008Publication date: November 19, 2009Inventors: Suzanne M. Berberet, Cary Dean Edmonds

Patent number: 7458025Abstract: A user interface and methods for using a user interface for controlling processing of time-based media files. In one exemplary method, a graphical representation of a time line for a time-based media is displayed along with a graphical representation of a current time along the graphical representation of the time line. A start graphical indicator and a stop graphical indicator is also displayed along the graphical representation of the time line. A portion of the time-based media may be selected for presentation by dragging or positioning at least one of the start graphical indicator and the stop graphical indicator along the graphical representation of the time line. In another aspect of the invention, an exemplary method allows for the adaptive control of a portion of the interface which indicates time relating to a time-based media. An input speed is determined where this input is to change the portion and the rate at which the change to this portion occurs is dependent upon the input speed.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2006Date of Patent: November 25, 2008Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Daniel N. Crow, Cary Dean, Elizabeth Dykstra-Erickson, J. Peter Hoddie, Steven P. Jobs, Timothy E. Wasko

Patent number: 7304816Abstract: In a method for predicting failure of a disc drive during operation of the disc drive, a write fault count is maintained that corresponds to write faults encountered during write operations to a disc of the disc drive. Additionally, a frequency domain representation of a position error signal of a head of the disc drive is obtained. Finally, failure of the disc drive is predicted based on the write fault count and the frequency domain representation of the position error signal. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a disc drive that is capable of performing the above-described method.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2005Date of Patent: December 4, 2007Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Cary Dean Johnson, Gary Gang Jing, Matthew Edward Hastings, Todd Phillip Fracek, Paul William Burnett, Feng Li, Wei-Hua Lin
