20140317318 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR UPDATING FIRMWARE OF A PERIPHERAL DEVICE - An electronic device executes a software application that includes instructions for updating firmware of a peripheral device and one or more firmware images. The electronic executes the firmware update instructions to initiate the firmware update of the peripheral device and transfers a firmware image from the software application to the peripheral device according to a response from the peripheral device. The software application sends information to the peripheral device for verifying the transferred firmware image and causes the peripheral device to use the transferred firmware image upon successful verification. | 10-23-2014 |
20140317611 | PERIPHERAL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR UPDATING FIRMWARE THEREOF - A peripheral device for an electronic device includes a memory configured to store at least an active firmware image and another firmware image, and circuitry configured to execute instructions provided in the firmware image. The circuitry receives, from a software application of the electronic device, commands and a firmware image included in the software application. The circuitry verifies the received firmware image file and writes the portions to a memory block different from a memory block at which the active firmware image is located. A command from the software application causes the peripheral device to specify the newly written firmware image as an active firmware image and to execute the newly active firmware image. | 10-23-2014 |

20080243053 | METHOD FOR INSERTING A CANNULA INTO AN INFUSION SITE - A method for inserting a cannula of an infusion set into an infusion site includes releasably retaining a cannula cartridge of an infusion set on a distal end of a cannula insertion device plunger. The method also includes releasably retaining an infuser base on a distal end of a housing of the cannula insertion device. Subsequently, the method involves moving the plunger from a retracted position, wherein the cannula cartridge is remote from the infuser base, to an advanced position wherein the cannula cartridge is engaged with the infuser base and a cannula of the cannula cartridge has been subcutaneously inserted into an infusion site by a cannula insertion needle attached to the plunger. | 10-02-2008 |
20080243062 | INFUSION SET KIT - An infusion set kit includes an infusion set and a cannula insertion device. The infusion set has an infuser base configured for adhesive attachment to an infusion site on a user's skin, a cannula cartridge configured for operative engagement with the infuser base, and a hub configured for user-controlled 360 degree (360°) rotary engagement with the infuser base. | 10-02-2008 |
20080243083 | INFUSION SET WITH USER-CONTROLLED 360-DEGREE ROTARY MOTION HUB - An infusion set includes an infuser base, a cannula cartridge and a hub. The infuser base includes an adhesive pad configured for removably adhering the infuser base to an infusion site, a barb, and an infuser base opening. The cannula cartridge includes a cannula for subcutaneous insertion into the infusion site and a cannula cartridge self-sealing septum. The hub is configured for removable and user-controlled three hundred and sixty degree (360°) rotateable engagement with the barb. The hub includes a hub needle for piercing the self-sealing septum, thereby creating a fluid pathway from the hub needle to the cannula of the cannula cartridge. The hub also includes a flexible tube in fluid communication with the hub needle. The cannula cartridge of is configured for insertion into the infuser base opening with the cannula being subcutaneously inserted into the infusion site. | 10-02-2008 |
