  • Publication number: 20070293843
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for calculating and transmitting medication dosage or bolus information are provided. A blood glucose meter receives a test strip with a sample of the user's blood and measures the user's blood glucose level with a sensor. The meter then calculates a bolus amount that is transmitted to a medication infusion pump using a radio frequency transmitter or transceiver. The infusion pump receives the bolus amount data and then delivers a bolus of medication to the user based on the calculated bolus estimate. The meter may also transmit commands to, and be used to remotely control, the infusion pump.

  • Patent number: 4479097
    Abstract: A resistor-capacitor oscillator circuit (10) is provided and includes a voltage comparator circuit (12). A capacitor (20) is connected to an input terminal (14) of the voltage comparator circuit (12). A resistor divider network (30) is coupled to an input terminal (16) of the voltage comparator circuit (12) for generating a reference voltage. A delay circuit (50, 52) is coupled to an output terminal (42) of the voltage comparator circuit (12). A discharge device (54) is coupled to the delay circuit (50, 52) and to the capacitor (20) for discharging the capacitor (20). A switching device (40) is coupled to the output (42) of the voltage comparator circuit (12) and to the resistor divider network (30) for controlling the application of the reference voltage to voltage comparator circuit (12).
