  • Publication number: 20240136000
    Abstract: A digital thermometer includes a first oscillator to generate a first clock signal, wherein a period of the first clock signal remains constant in view of changes in a temperature of the apparatus and a first counter coupled to the first oscillator, the first counter to count a fixed number of cycles of the first clock signal associated with a measurement period. The digital thermometer further includes a second oscillator to generate a second clock signal, wherein a period of the second clock signal varies with changes in the temperature and a second counter coupled to the second oscillator, the second counter to generate an output representing a count of a number of cycles of the second clock signal that occur during the measurement period. In addition, the digital thermometer includes calibration circuitry coupled to the second counter, the calibration circuitry to calibrate the output of the second counter to generate a value representing the temperature of the apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9192717
    Abstract: An infusion device including a site and a set for delivery of a substance to a patient. The site can include a cannula that is introduced into a subcutaneous layer of skin of the patient. The set can be coupled to the site by placing the set over the site and moving the set from an unlocked to a locked position. The set can be oriented at multiple rotational orientations with respect to the site, and can be coupled and uncoupled with the site multiple times. Also included is a device for inserting a subcutaneous infusion device into a subcutaneous layer of skin of a patient. Some devices automatically retract a needle used to introduce the cannula. Upon full introduction of the needle and associated cannula of the subcutaneous infusion device into a subcutaneous layer of skin of a patient, the device can move the needle into a retracted state.

  • Patent number: 9028311
    Abstract: A video game combines finger swiping to hurl a projectile at a target, with strategic elements arising from various combinations of player and target characteristics. User actions such as a direction of finger swipe against a touchscreen, a speed of finger swipe against the touchscreen, and/or a length of finger swipe against the touchscreen, may determine the trajectory and/or force of the projectile. The player may dynamically select specific roles from a plurality of cards available in a deck, with the particular role determining game parameters such as offensive effectiveness and defensive strength. The game may incorporate one or more strategic concepts such as the ability to combine roles, the evolution of roles over time, and the selective enlistment of allies.

  • Patent number: 7993306
    Abstract: A site for a subcutaneous infusion device includes a base positionable relative to skin of a patient, and a cannula extending from the base and configured to be introduced into a subcutaneous layer of skin of the patient at a generally ninety-degree angle with respect to the skin using a needle. The cannula includes first and second ends and defines a bore extending from the first end to the second end, the first end being coupled to the base. The cannula includes a tapered wall portion formed between the first and second ends and extending from adjacent to the base towards the second end of the cannula, the tapered wall portion being tapered from a greater wall thickness to a lesser wall thickness as the tapered wall portion extends from the base towards the second end.
