  • Publication number: 20220339367
    Abstract: An insulin delivery and data collection system includes at least one insulin delivery device, a holding station, and control system. The holding station includes a body defining at least one cavity extending into the body from an upper surface of the body, the at least one cavity configured to receive the at least one insulin delivery device and at least one load cell disposed at a bottom of the at least one cavity. The control system includes at least one processor and at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the control system to receive weight data from the at least one load cell related to the at least one insulin delivery device.

  • Patent number: 5363425
    Abstract: A system for providing a personal location, access control and asset tracking service using an in-building telephone network is disclosed. In a first embodiment, users of ID badges containing an RF transmitter can be located across the telephone network for receiving incoming calls. Receiver units in or near telephone sets instruct the system of the identity of the user located near the telephone set. In another embodiment, access to a building or rooms therein is controlled according to the identity of the ID badge wearer. Similar receiver units located at building and room entrances receive the RF transmission from the ID badge to allow or deny access to the rooms or building. In a third embodiment, ID tags placed on material assets permit the system user to monitor the movement and location of specific material assets associated with that ID tag. The ID tag also contains an RF transmitter which is used to transmit an RF burst to receiver units located across the telephone network.

  • Patent number: 4847900
    Abstract: An optical hookswitch assembly useable on a telephone set as an optical communications port is disclosed. The hookswitch assembly is comprised of light emitting and detecting diodes so disposed in the telephone so as to detect the presence of a handset. A processor connectable to the telephone circuitry and the light emitting and detecting diodes is provided such that the telephone circuitry is activated by the processor when the light emitting and detecting diodes fail to detect the presence of a handset. The light emitting and detecting diodes are useable as an optical communciations port for accessing the processor by allowing an external computer to communicate with the processor via an optical coupler.
