Patent number: 9267911Abstract: An analyte test sensor strip is disclosed having information coded thereon as well as a method of forming the same and conducting an analyte test using the analyte test sensor strip. Information relating to an attribute of the strip or batch/lot of strips may be coded based on resistance values pertaining to electrical aspects of the strip, such as a primary resistive element and a secondary resistive element, the secondary resistive element having one of a plurality of states defined by a location of a closed tap to form a unique resistive path for the secondary resistive element that includes a portion of the primary resistive element depending on the location of the closed tap. The states may be formed on the strip by a secondary processing step in the manufacture of the strip in which a plurality of taps are severed leaving only one tap in a closed state.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2014Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: Roche Diabetes Care, Inc.Inventors: John T. Austera, Terry A. Beaty, Abner D. Joseph, Nathan E. Manlove, Steven K. Moore, James L. Pauley, Jr., Randall K. Riggles

Patent number: 8491566Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting the delivery times of an insulin delivery profile of an insulin pump, wherein the insulin pump is operable to automatically deliver insulin to a person having diabetes based on an operating time of the internal clock and a delivery time of an insulin delivery profile. The method may comprise receiving a local time zone time from an external local clock, determining whether the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least a first predetermined amount of time, requesting the person provide a time adjustment value when the operating time of the internal clock differs from the local time zone time by at least the first predetermined amount of time, receiving the time adjustment value from the person, and adjusting the delivery times of the insulin delivery profile based on the time adjustment value when received.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2011Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Blaine Edward Ramey, Ricky Lee Collins, James L.
