  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PATIENT MONITORING USING AN HCP-SPECIFIC DEVICE
    Publication number: 20180182491
    Abstract: Systems and methods disclosed provide ways for Health Care Professionals (HCPs) to be involved in initial patient system set up so that the data received is truly transformative, such that the patient not just understands what all the various numbers mean but also how the data can be used. For example, in one implementation, a CGM device is configured for use by a HCP, and includes a housing and a circuit configured to receive a signal from a transmitter coupled to an indwelling glucose sensor. A calibration module converts the received signal into clinical units. A user interface is provided that is configured to display a measured glucose concentration in the clinical units. The user interface is further configured to receive input data about a patient level, where the input data about the patient level causes the device to operate in a mode appropriate to the patient level.

  • Joint assembly for use in a retractable awning
    Patent number: 10006206
    Abstract: An awning arm is provided in which internal components are concealed and in which tension is adjustable. The arm includes an elbow that includes an outer knuckle that includes a top tang and a bottom tang, the tangs rotatably engaged to a circular encasement of an inner knuckle via a plurality of bushings. Two hubs are concealed by the encasement and the tangs, the hubs secured within the two tangs. A webbing is secured within the hubs, a pull upon the webbing urging the rotation of the hubs and consequently the outer knuckle and the elbow as a whole. Arm extrusions are attached to the outer and inner knuckles, with the rotation of the elbow causing the bending and straightening of the arm. Components that prevent the arm from overextending are concealed within the elbow.

  • Reversible peristaltic pump and other structures for reflux in eye surgery
    Patent number: 9999709
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for treatment of an eye alter aspiration flow from the eye in response to an occlusion of the aspiration conduit pathway. Where aspiration is drawn from the eye using a volumetric pump, the pump can be reversed so as to induce fluid reflux from the aspiration conduit pathway into the eye to help clear the occlusion. The pump may vary the reverse flow in response to sensed aspiration pressure or the like, and the reverse flow may be halted before the pressure within the aspiration conduit pathway adjacent the eye significantly exceeds the irrigation fluid pressure and/or the pressure within the eye. Reflux may alternatively be generated by modulating a vent valve disposed between an irrigation conduit pathway and the aspiration conduit pathway.

  • DC-DC CONVERTER CONTROLLER
    Publication number: 20180138812
    Abstract: A predictive controller for an inductive DC-DC converter comprising a switchable inductor is described. The predictive controller includes a DC-DC controller configured to generate a plurality of switching phases to control the inductor current in the switchable inductor, the duration of the switching phases being determined from at least one of a reference inductor current value and a reference output voltage value. The predictive controller includes a supervisory controller coupled to the DC-DC controller and configured to set a reference inductor current value dependent on an expected change in load current and/or voltage of a load configured to be connected to the load terminal. The expected change in load current and/or voltage is determined from a predetermined load profile.
