Appl. No.:

13/127451

Inventors:

Min Wei - Morris Plains NJ, US
Ying Xu - Hackensack NJ, US
James Bates - Sparta NJ, US
Kenneth Powell - Raleigh NC, US

International Classification:

A61M 5/31

US Classification:

604506, 604207

Abstract:

A pen body assembly () for a drug delivery pen includes a pen body () and a dose setting body () movably connected to the pen body ().

Appl. No.:

7/960656

Inventors:

Kenneth E. Powell - Boca Raton FL
Deborah A. Mallory - Lantana FL

Assignee:

International Business Machines Corp. - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06K 710

US Classification:

235472

Abstract:

An apparatus for scanning bar code data recorded on a target includes a source emitting a beam of radiation, and optics for deflecting the beam of radiation along an axis normal to the beam. The apparatus further includes an electronic shutter element defining a plurality of adjacent regions, each region independently capable of assuming a substantially transparent state, and, digital logic, for causing the adjacent regions of the shutter element to assume substantially transparent states in a sequential, directional manner along the axis to affect directional transmission of less than all of the deflected beam onto the target. The apparatus further includes a detector for sensing the presence of radiation reflected from the target, and, optics for converting the radiation reflected from the target into a beam and for focussing the beam onto the detector.

Appl. No.:

6/315761

Inventors:

Kenneth E. Powell - Boca Raton FL

Assignee:

International Business Machines - Armonk NY

International Classification:

G06K 708

US Classification:

235449

Abstract:

The invention is directed to circuitry for reproducing the data on a magnetic stripe recorded. A security access card is manually passed through a card-reading device at an uneven low velocity, storing the data in one half cycle of operation in uniform number of data storage cells despite the unevenness of speed, and reading out the data at a predetermined rate, during the other half cycle of operation for delivery to a data processing unit.

International Classification:

A61M 5/42

Abstract:

A method for site assessments of a catheter insertion site and/or dressing includes: scanning the catheter insertion site and/or dressing with an image capture device and/or sensor; selecting a patient baseline site location and skin tone; recording a baseline condition using a computing device; determining a site assessment rate using a computing device; prompting a clinician to make a site assessment of the catheter insertion site and/or dressing using a computing device; and recording site assessment information in an electronic medical record using a computing device.
