Abstract: An electronic device substrate with a substantially planar surface formed from an electrically non-conductive material is provided with one or more metalized pads on the substantially planner surface. Each of the one or more metalized pads is surrounded by and coplanar with the first electrically nonconductive material along an outer boundary of the metalized pad. The metalized pad is patterned such that portions of the metalized pad form metalized fingers that extend radially from the outer boundary of the metalized pad in an interdigitated arrangement with the first electrically nonconductive material. The metalized pad has a solderable surface.

Abstract: The present invention provides the method for users to access different content when users snap a picture of a single Optical Code.

The present invention stores a Unique Key within the Optical Code used to look up programmed instructions. The present invention uses the snap of the camera on the portable computer and imaging device to initialize the programmed instructions associated with the Unique Key. The System provides a method by which a set of actions can be performed with the simple snap of the Optical Code using a portable computer and imaging device.

Abstract: In an infusion pump system that includes a pump that may have a user interface for pump programming, one or more smartphones or other remote control devices that interface with the infusion pump, and/or an automated insulin delivery algorithm, there is a potential conflict between commands such as boluses being programmed on multiple devices and/or calculated by the AID algorithm at the same time. In order to avoid low glucose levels that could result from delivering multiple boluses from these various sources when only one bolus is needed, systems and methods disclosed herein provide a bolus permissions and prioritization scheme that prioritizes boluses programmed with the infusion pump and one or more remote control devices and calculated by a closed loop delivery algorithm.
