  • Patent number: 7865876
    Abstract: A computing platform 20 provides multiple computing environments 24 each containing a guest operating system 25 provided by a virtual machine application 26. Optionally, each computing environment 24 is formed in a compartment 220 of a compartmented host operating system 22. A trusted device 213 verifies that the host operating system 22 and each guest operating system 25 operates in a secure and trusted manner by forming integrity metrics which can be interrogated by a user 10. Each computing environment is isolated and secure, and can be verified as trustworthy independent of any other computing environment.

  • Patent number: 5810323
    Abstract: A pinch clip occluder for infusion sets is disclosed including a housing and a clamp movably disposed within the housing to selectively occlude an infusion set. In one embodiment the clamp has at least one arm which moves between first and second positions to pinch closed a silicone tube of the infusion set unless the pinch clip occluder is held in an open position by the user, or placed in a receptacle which will hold the pinch clip occluder in an open position. In another embodiment a plunger is disposed so as to intersect a passage passing through the housing. As the plunger is selectively moved between first and second positions, the flow through a tube in the passage is selectively controlled. Such an arrangement prevents a free-flow condition from occurring through the infusion set.

  • Patent number: 5733061
    Abstract: A clamp having an attachment mechanism for holding and positioning a second object attached to the clamp relative to a first object secured by the clamp. The clamp includes a clamping member for securing the first object and an attachment mechanism for holding the clamp to the second object. The clamping member includes a scrape preventive mechanism. The attachment mechanism includes a positioning member for positioning the second object relative to the first object without detaching the second object from the clamping member. The attachment member is hand operable.
