Abstract: A fluid delivery system comprises a pump configured to deliver a therapeutic agent to a patient, a memory storing a therapy program defining the delivery of the therapeutic agent to the patient by the pump and a default infusion schedule based on the therapy program, and a processor configured to control the pump to deliver the therapeutic agent to the patient according to the therapy program, to determine an error condition that prevents the pump from continuing to deliver therapy according to the therapy program, and, upon determination of the error condition, to control the pump to deliver the therapeutic agent to the patient according to the default infusion schedule.

Abstract: The mobile station includes a system for using open channel time not needed during access to the wireless web. The mobile station monitors the use of the channel, and determines when the user is no longer transmitting or receiving information. Until the current network session terminates, the mobile station may operate in the background to either send or receive information with the network. Any action taken by the user would take priority over the background operations.

Abstract: A method for synchronizing communication between a transmitting unit (102) and a receiving unit (104) in a telecommunication system (100) includes calculating a reverse checksum for the received data. At the transmitting unit (102), data including a length indicator is serially transmitted. At the receiving unit (104), the data are received and stored in a buffer. A checksum is calculated beginning with the last-received data while maintaining a length count. When the checksum verifies and when the length count matches the transmitted length indicator, the received data is considered valid and communication is considered synchronized.
