摘要:
An analyte testing system having an analyte testing device and a docking station is described. The analyte testing device includes a plurality of lancets, a plurality of analyte sensors, electronics for deriving test data from the analyte sensors, a visual display that displays test data, and a data recording facility that records non-test data. Examples of non-test data include text diary information, audio diary information, food eaten, minutes exercised, medication taken, and estimated calories burned. The docking station has a power interface and data interface that provide power and data connectivity to the testing device. The docking station also has a storage facility configured to automatically store the test data and non-test data.
摘要:
An analyte testing device housing a lancet cartridge and a test strip cartridge is described. The testing device simplifies analyte testing/monitoring by providing an actuator and linkage mechanism that: (i) cocks a lancing device, (ii) exposes a test strip for use; and (iii) advances the lancet cartridge. The testing device also includes conversion electronics, which receives a signal from a test trip and converts the signal into readable data.
摘要:
An analyte testing device includes an analyte sensor, a lancet, and a mechanism with an actuator that operates to independently expose the analyte sensor and advance the lancet into position for use. The analyte sensor is preferably included in an analyte sensor cartridge that houses a plurality of sensors. Similarly, the lancet is preferably included in a lancet cartridge that houses a plurality of lancets. The actuator can be a lever configured to expose the analyte sensor and advance the lancet into position with a single motion (e.g., pulling the lever). The actuator also preferably operates to cock a hammer in preparation for lancing a body member to draw a blood sample. The mechanism can be a linkage coupled with the actuator and configured to engage the analyte sensor and lancet.
摘要:
A test unit cartridge for holding a plurality of test units includes a first test unit that contains a first analyte sensor and a second test unit that contains a second analyte sensor. The first and second analyte sensors use first and second reagents to detect first and second analytes, respectively. The first analyte is different from the second analyte and the first and second test units are functionally non-fungible. The plurality of test units can also include a third test unit that contains two analyte sensors having two reagents for detecting two different analytes using one fluid sample. A method of using the test unit cartridge is also described, which comprises loading the cartridge into an analyte testing device and cocking an actuator of the device that is configured to (i) expose an analyte sensor of a test unit, (ii) ready a lancet, and (iii) advance a lancet cartridge.

摘要:
An apparatus comprising: a display for presenting information to a user; a housing connected to the display for supporting the display; and a keyboard assembly deployable through a sliding connection to the housing, the keyboard assembly deployable in multiple directions, the information presented to the user through the display is oriented based on deployment of the keyboard assembly, direction of deployment of the keyboard assembly, and input from an application resident on the device. The application prescribes the orientation of the information presented on the display to the user in relation to the direction of keyboard assembly deployment.
摘要:
A data phone includes a data phone housing and a convertible keypad carried by the housing. The convertible keypad is adapted to convert between a telephone keypad and a keyboard. The telephone keypad has a first number of input keys available for selection by a user to dial out a phone number and the keyboard has a second number of input keys available for selection by a user to enter data into the data phone. The second number of input keys of the keyboard is greater than the first number of input keys of the telephone keypad.
摘要:
The disclosed embodiments provide devices and methods for providing versatile keyboards for an electronic device. In one embodiment, the device includes a display and a plurality of input means, each deployable in a different direction. The method includes deploying one of a plurality of input means, detecting which one of the plurality of input means is deployed, and orienting information presented on the display based on the deployed input means. In one embodiment, the device includes a first module layer movable in a first direction and a second module layer movably connected relative to the first module layer. Further, a third module layer is movably connected relative to the second module layer and movable in a second direction.
