摘要:
An infusion set component for a fluid infusion device that delivers fluid to a patient is presented here. The component includes a tube formed from tubing material having an interior fluid canal defined therein to provide a fluid pathway from the fluid infusion device to the patient, a plurality of sensor conductors incorporated with the tubing material to facilitate sensing of an analyte of the patient by the fluid infusion device, and a combined infusion-sensor unit coupled to the tube and to the plurality of sensor conductors. The infusion-sensor unit accommodates delivery of fluid from the tube, and it also accommodates sensing of the analyte. The component may also include a connector assembly coupled to the tube and to the plurality of sensor conductors, to fluidly couple the fluid canal to a fluid reservoir of the fluid infusion device and to electrically couple the sensor conductors to an electronics module of the fluid infusion device.
摘要:
Multimode interference can be used to achieve ultra-high resolving powers (e.g., Q>105) with linewidths down to 10 pm at 1500 nm and a broad spectroscopy range (e.g., 400-2400 nm) within a monolithic, millimeter-scale device. For instance, multimode interference (MMI) in a tapered waveguide enables fine resolution and broadband spectroscopy in a compact, monolithic device. The operating range is limited by the transparency of the waveguide material and the sensitivity of the camera; thus, the technique can be easily extended into the ultraviolet and mid- and deep-infrared spectrum. Experiments show that a tapered fiber multimode interference spectrometer can operate across a range from 500 nm to 1600 nm (B=1.0576) without moving parts. The technique is suitable for on-chip tapered multimode waveguides, which could be fabricated in high volume by printing or optical lithography, for applications from biochemical sensing to the life and physical sciences.
摘要:
A monitor system is disclosed. The monitor system includes a sensor with a sensor port. The monitor system further includes a recorder with a recorder port within a recording housing. The recorder port interfaces with the sensor port to receive signals from the sensor port. A recorder clock is defined within the recorder housing, with a recorder processor to store signals from the sensor. The recorder includes a data port to interface with a dock receiver. The monitor system includes a dock remotely located from the sensor and the recorder. The dock receiver couples the recorder to the dock. The monitor system further includes a data processor to analyze the sensor signals from the recorder. The data processor includes memory and a clock. Further included with the data processor are program instructions to assign the time and date of the sensor signals.

摘要:
A monitor system to monitor a characteristic of a user is disclosed. The monitor system includes a sensor to produce a signal indicative of a glucose characteristic measured in the user, the sensor further having a sensor port. The monitor system further includes a recorder within a recording housing, the recorder hosing also encompassing a batter. The recorder further includes a recorder port that interfaces with the sensor port in order to receive the produced signals from the sensor port. A recorder clock that assigns a time to the signals from the sensor is also defined within the recorder housing, as is a recorder processor that includes a recorder memory that is coupled to the recorder port to store the produced signals from the sensor. The recorder further includes a data port defined to interface with a dock receiver. A dock that is remotely located from the sensor and the recorder is also included with the monitor system. The dock includes the dock receiver that physically couples the recorder to the dock via the data port and a dock processor that is coupled to the dock receiver. The monitor system further includes a data processor defined to analyze the signals from the sensor that were stored in the recorder. The data processor includes: a data processor memory to store data from the recorder and a data processor clock. Further included with the data processor is a program to assign the time and date of the signals from the sensor by comparing the time and date on the data processor clock with the time assigned to the signals from the sensor by the recorder clock.
