    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for programming a wireless handheld device and communicating between the handheld device and a programmer using inductive telemetry. The method may include the steps of activating a boot load mode of the handheld device, positioning the handheld device in proximity to a programming device, and downloading firmware to the handheld device from the programming device using inductive telemetry. The apparatus may include an inductive coil for inductive telemetry and a memory. The inductive coil is configured to be activated in response to inductive signals from an inductive coil of the programmer, thereby providing communication between the handheld device and the programmer. Communication between the handheld device and the programmer may include downloading firmware to the handheld device, and storing the downloaded firmware in the memory.

    摘要: A modular portable patient communicator (PPC) provides for communications with a patient implantable medical device (PIMD) and connectivity with a central authority (CA) via an unsecured network. Medical firmware and a radio facilitate wireless interrogation of the PIMD and acquisition of PIMD data. A universal communications port facilitates mechanical and signal connectivity with one or a multiplicity of disparate detachable modules, some of which provide the PPC with an external communications facility and have disparate communication protocols. The PPC is devoid of an external communications facility other than the radio and universal communications port. Life critical network software is executed in cooperation with an attached module to cause the PPC to transmit a request to a network access facility for a connection to the unsecured network, authenticate the PPC to the CA, and facilitate secured communication between the PPC and CA upon successful PPC authentication.

    摘要: A portable patient communicator (PPC) includes a portable housing that supports a processor coupled to memory for storing medical firmware and wireless radio firmware, first and second radios, a processor, and a power source. Communications between a patient implantable medical device (PIMD) and the first radio of the PPC are effected in accordance with program instructions of the medical firmware, and communications between the second radio of the PPC and the wireless network are effected in accordance with program instructions of the wireless radio firmware. Data from the PIMD is received via the first radio to which a priority level is assigned, such as in a tiered manner. A data transport mechanism is selected among disparate data transport mechanisms based at least in part on the priority level. PIMD data is transmitted to the wireless network using the selected transport mechanism via the second radio.

    摘要: A structure and method for electrically isolating a universal serial bus (USB) communication link is provided. One aspect of this disclosure relates to a system for isolating a host from a peripheral. The system includes a first programmable logic device for selectively passing two host USB lines into four host unidirectional lines. Four optoisolators are connected to the first programmable device via the four host unidirectional lines. A second programmable logic device for selectively passing four peripheral unidirectional lines into two peripheral USB lines is connected to the four optoisolators via the four peripheral unidirectional lines. The first and second programmable logic devices detect arriving edge transitions to determine whether a signal is arriving from a host or a peripheral, and disable and enable corresponding input and output lines to maintain unidirectional flow of the signal through the four optoisolators. Other aspects and embodiments are provided herein.
