Draft:Jerry T. Love
American engineer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jerry T. Love is an American engineer who contributed to early implantable insulin delivery systems developed at Sandia National Laboratories in collaboration with the University of New Mexico School of Medicine.
Career
Love was a member of the technical staff at Sandia National Laboratories, where he worked on engineering projects including biomedical devices and electronic instrumentation.
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, Love was part of a multidisciplinary team at Sandia that collaborated with the University of New Mexico School of Medicine to develop an implantable insulin infusion system designed to deliver insulin in a controlled manner.[1]
The system and its development are documented in technical reports and journal publications authored by members of the Sandia–University of New Mexico collaboration.[1][2]
Clinical research evaluating the system reported short-term implantation in human patients.[3] The work is indexed in biomedical literature databases.[4]
The Sandia–UNM implantable insulin delivery system has been described in medical literature as part of early efforts to develop programmable implantable insulin delivery devices.[3]
Contemporaneous news reports, including coverage distributed by United Press International and regional newspapers, described the development and demonstration of implantable insulin pump systems associated with the Sandia–University of New Mexico collaboration.[5][6]
Sandia publications also documented the engineering and design of the system, including its programmable features and use in biomedical applications.[7]
Patents
Love is listed as an inventor on U.S. Patent 6,230,105, issued in 2001, relating to measurement instrumentation systems.[8]
