  • Patent number: 10814061
    Abstract: An infusion set is disclosed that includes an inserter including an inserter housing having at least one flexible arm for holding an infusion set in a single axial position prior to insertion of at least a portion of a cannula of the infusion set, the inserter housing having a surface for contacting the patient's skin. The inserter also includes a movable plunger disposed within the inserter housing for releasing the infusion set from the inserter housing, impacting the infusion set, and imparting momentum to the infusion set to insert the cannula into the patient's skin.

  • Patent number: 7597792
    Abstract: A method and apparatus is described for gradually transitioning a slider from operation over a patterned data zone to landing on a patterned CSS zone. The ratio of raised area width to recessed area width of a pattern in a transition zone and/or CSS zone may be varied across the radial dimension of the disk. By changing the ratio of raised area width to recessed area width of the pattern in the transition from slider operation over the data zone to landing in the CSS zone, it is possible to gradually change the height of the slider from flying to non-flying conditions.

  • Patent number: 6324645
    Abstract: A public key management infrastructure (104) is shared by at least two users (102). A method (300) for managing risk arising from a user's use of the shared public key management infrastructure (104) includes the following steps. The user (102) is associated (301) with a digital certificate (200) which is issued and digitally signed by a certification authority (CA). The digital certificate (200) represents that the user (102) is bound to a public key (210) corresponding to a private key held by the user (102); the public key (210) and the private key form a key pair for use in public-key cryptography. The digital certificate (200) further includes an access label (216), which may identify the domain (105) within the public key management infrastructure (104) which the user (102) is authorized to access and/or the privileges which the user (102) is authorized to exercise. The user's identity and the validity of the digital certificate (200) are established (303,305).

  • Patent number: 6117499
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a magnetic disk comprises the steps of: a) providing a substrate with a layer of an amorphous multi-component material at its surface; b) irradiating the amorphous layer (e.g. by applying heat from a heating element, laser beam, or the like) to thereby create micro-structurally changed regions in the amorphous layer; and c) chemo-mechanically polishing the amorphous layer to produce micro-texture features at or near the micro-structurally changed regions. The disk is then completed by depositing additional layers such as an underlayer, a magnetic layer, a protective overcoat, etc.

  • Patent number: 5640587
    Abstract: A computer system transliterates a text string from a first language to a second language using transliterator objects, each having a set of transliteration rules arranged in a preferred order. Each of the transliteration rules, in turn, has a test string and a replacement string and the transliterator object includes a method for comparing the test string in each of the transliteration rules to each of the characters in the text string to determine a subset of transliteration rules which exhibit a match. Using the preferred order, one of the subset of transliteration rules is selected and the replacement string of the selected transliteration rule is substituted for the test string in the text string.

  • Patent number: 5594642
    Abstract: A method and system for assisting input of information. The method and system dynamically translates information being input, and allows user interaction with the translation process. The system is flexibly designed to allow easy use by application developers and users. The design allows a common input method to be used by multiple applications. Users may also customize the input methods to suit their own needs. The input methods support "active" areas of text input, character based input, and phrase based input. The active area can be customized to appear a certain way. Dictionaries are also supported, including optional properties such as grammar and frequency. Dictionaries may also be chained.

  • Patent number: 5485373
    Abstract: A method and system for providing a language-sensitive text search that performs text comparison of any Unicode strings. For any language an ordering is defined based on features of the language. Then, an interactive compare function is performed to determine the relationship of a pair of strings. The string is examined and a compare is performed one or more characters at a time based on a predefined character precedence.

  • Patent number: 5432948
    Abstract: A computer implemented system and method utilizing rules instantiated in objects of an object-oriented operating system to transliterate text as it is input into a computer is disclosed. A number of transliterator objects are created in the storage of the computer, each one of the transliterator objects include transliteration rules arranged in the storage in a preferred order. Each of the transliteration rules contain a first language character string, a second language character string, and logic for comparing the first language character string in each of the transliteration rules to a text string that is entered into a computer to determine a subset of transliteration rules which match the entered text string.
