  • Patent number: 10750427
    Abstract: A repeater system for relaying wireless communications between a base station and one or more devices having: a repeater to relay network information from a base station to one or more devices; a donor antenna configured to receive and/or transmit network information between the repeater and the base station; a power supply external to the repeater; and, a server antenna integrated with the power supply, the server antenna configured to receive and/or transmit network information between the repeater and the one or more devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9348971
    Abstract: A system and method for two way short message service (SMS)-enabled BGM and related communications is presented. The method includes receiving, by a processing device integrated with a blood glucose meter (BGM), a first short message service (SMS) message comprising a question, presenting the question at the BGM, receiving a response to the question, translating the response to the question into a second SMS message, translating blood glucose measurement information into a third SMS message, the blood glucose measurement information received from a test of a user by the BGM, and transmitting the second and third SMS messages to a receiver.

  • Patent number: 7894547
    Abstract: In-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) signals are corrected for both amplitude and phase imbalances by passing the I and Q signals successively through a first amplitude correction stage, a sum-difference stage, and a second amplitude correction stage. The first amplitude correction stage balances the signal levels of the I and Q signals. The sum-difference stage produce a sum of the input I and Q signals, and a difference of the input I and Q signals, resulting in ideal quadrature in the outputs produced. The second amplitude correction stage corrects the amplitude differences from the sum-difference stage. Circuit configurations are used that minimize errors produced by the signal processing stages.
