20100323431 | BI-STABLE DISPLAY FAIL SAFES AND DEVICES INCORPORATING THE SAME - A control circuit and method for controlling a bi-stable display having bi-stable segments each capable of transitioning between an on state and an off state via application of a voltage are disclosed. The voltage is provided to a display driver from a charge pump, and supplied to individual ones of the bi-stable segments via outputs from the display driver in accordance with display instructions provided by a system controller. Both a bi-stable segment voltage level of at least one of the outputs of the display driver and a charge pump voltage level of the voltage are detected and compared to a valid bi-stable segment voltage level and a valid charge pump voltage level, respectively. A malfunction signal may be provided to the system controller if either of the detected voltage levels is not valid. The control circuit is useful in an electronic device such as, for example, a blood glucose measuring device. | 12-23-2010 |
20100331645 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION BETWEEN A BLOOD GLUCOSE METER AND A PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A blood glucose measuring system which comprises a blood glucose (bG) meter and a portable communication device (PCD) and methods thereof are disclosed. The blood glucose meter comprises a measurement module and a wireless module, wherein the measurement module is operable to measure the blood glucose level of a blood sample, the wireless module is an embeddable module and communicates to the measurement module via a serial interface, and the wireless module is operable to wirelessly communicate to the portable communication device. The portable communication device is operable to wirelessly receive information from the blood glucose meter related to the blood glucose measurement. | 12-30-2010 |
20110034786 | PORTABLE HANDHELD MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC DEVICES - A portable handheld medical diagnostic device includes a front housing and a rear housing opposite the front housing. The front housing and the rear housing form a protective enclosure. A main circuit board is located in the protective enclosure. The main circuit board includes a controller facilitating a physiologic measurement. A display device is connected to the main circuit board that displays information related to the physiologic measurement. A frame is located in the protective enclosure that carries the display device and locates the display device adjacent the front housing such that the display device can be viewed from outside the protective enclosure. The frame includes a strip port formed integrally therewith that is accessible from outside the protective enclosure. | 02-10-2011 |
