Abstract: The present invention provides methods and devices for protecting electronic components of handheld electronic devices from electrostatic discharge. An electronic device in accordance with the present invention includes an enclosure having first and second housing portions, a mating edge connection between the first and second housing portions, an electronic component, and an electrically insulating frame. The electrically insulating frame is positioned within the enclosure and surrounds at least a portion of the electronic component thus providing an electrostatic discharge barrier between the mating edge connection and the electronic component.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for drug delivery and the monitoring thereof. The systems include a drug delivery device, a holder for the drug delivery device when the device is not in use, a detector for detecting the presence of the drug delivery device within or close to the holder, and at least one algorithm for querying and prompting a user of the drug delivery device, wherein the at least one algorithm is activated upon removal of the drug delivery device from the holder.

Abstract: A system and method for allowing a user to identify and locate products for purchase that include, but are not limited to, products listed in an electronic catalog. The described system and method accepts from the user, via a network, a request for product information. The system then uses the request to search a database to determine if the database contains the requested product information. If the database contains the requested product information, the product information from the database is returned, via the network, to the user. If, however, the database does not contain the requested product information, the request for product information is forwarded to a sourcing management system that initiates a search to gather the product information from third party sources. Any relevant gathered product information is returned to the user, via the network. In addition, the database or electronic catalog is updated to reflect the newly gathered product information.

Abstract: The invention concerns a sensor that, when exposed to a fluid, develops a measurable characteristic that is a function of the level of an analyte in the fluid and of a calibration quantity of the sensor. A calibration quantity is some physical, chemical or other inherent property that the sensor possesses that affects its response to the analyte. The sensor includes an RFID tag that receives, stores and conveys information representing the calibration quantity. The wireless device is incorporated into or attached to the sensor during the manufacturing process and before the sensor is calibrated. The wireless device can be written wirelessly once the calibration has been done. This does not involve any additional handling of the sensor and can be done once the sensor has been placed into a protective enclosure.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods for modifying, upgrading, or otherwise revising control software, instructions, or algorithms of an electronic medical device. A portable memory device, such as a Smart Card or the like is used to provide information for modifying the control software to the electronic medical device.

Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are provided for remotely controlling medication delivery to a patient by means of a medication infusion pump, such as a subcutaneous infusion pump, and for remotely controlling the monitoring of one or more physiological fluid analytes such as by a percutaneous measurement device. The systems of the present invention include a medication infusion pump and a hand-held “fob” for the remote control of the infusion pump and/or measurement device. In addition to remotely controlling the insulin pump and the measurement device, the fob provides for the consolidation of blood chemistry data and insulin delivery data over a period of time and maintains such consolidated data for immediate and later retrieval by the user or a physician. The methods of the present invention allow a user to customize and optimize an insulin bolus delivery protocol, i.e.
