  • Patent number: 11337896
    Abstract: In one example, the present disclosure describes a device, computer-readable medium, and method for monitoring a patient's medication adherence. In one example, an apparatus includes a set of contact pins to electrically engage a conductive trace circuit of a unit dose packaging and to generate a signal in response to a break in the conductive trace circuit, a processor comprising a plurality of analog channels to detect and record the signal, a cellular modem to send, via a data network to which the apparatus is connected, information about the signal to a medication adherence monitoring service, a housing containing the set of contact pins, the processor, and the cellular modem, wherein the housing is configured for removable insertion of the unit dose packaging, and a lock to reversibly lock the unit dose packaging in the housing.

  • Patent number: 9471094
    Abstract: A chip select signal is trained where the chip select signal is delayed to centrally align its pulses with a positive edge of a memory device's clock cycle. Over repeated iterations, the memory device stops its clock for an interval and a delayed pulse of the chip select signal is generated. The pulse delay is incrementally changed with each iteration. When the delay results in the trailing edge of the delayed pulse aligning with the positive edge of the last cycle before the stoppage interval, the memory device captures the contents of a computer bus, thus detecting a trailing edge delay value. When the delay results in the leading edge of the delayed pulse aligning with the positive edge of the last cycle, the device no longer captures the contents, thus detecting a leading edge delay value. A value between these values is then set as the optimal delay.
