    摘要: The invention relates to a method and a device for in vivo detection of the direction of Langer's lines in the skin. Light is irradiated into the skin as primary light at one defined site (7) identified through the epidermis (6) in such a way that it is transported in the skin (5) by scattering or absorption, while part of said irradiated light emerges from the skin as secondary light in the region surrounding the irradiated site. An amplitude-dependent property of secondary light emerging from the skin (5) around the irradiated site is measured in order to determine the preferential direction of the diffuse light transport in the skin (5) and, consequently, determine the orientation of Langer's lines thereof.

    摘要: Metabolism diseases are evaluated by using a sensor to measure concentration of a medically significant analyte in a human or animal body fluid. The measurement data are correlated with the concentration of a medically significant analyte in body fluid over a time period of at least eight hours. An analytical facility analyzes time intervals within the time period to determine a stability parameter that characterizes the analyte concentration dynamics of change. The analytical facility further analyzes the stability parameters to determine disease-related particularities of metabolism.

    摘要: The invention concerns a method for investigating a scattering medium, especially a biological matrix, with intensity-modulated light. In order, in such a frequency-domain measuring procedure, to reduce the expenditure on electronics without restricting accuracy of measurement, a method is proposed, in which, in order to investigate a scattering medium, especially a biological matrix, with intensity-modulated light, a high-frequency modulation signal is generated by a frequency generator (18), the intensity of a light emitter (10) is modulated with a modulation signal and the light from the light emitter (10) is radiated into the medium, the modulation signal includes frequency chirps during which the modulation frequency is tuned from an initial frequency to a final frequency, the modulation signal is delivered from the frequency generator (18) via at least two different signal paths (23A, 24) to a signal mixer (31), so that during a frequency chirp the input signals of the signal mixer (31) differ by a differential frequency whose magnitude is a function of the difference between the signal transit times over the at least two signal paths (23A, 24) and of the rate of change of the modulation frequency, wherein at least one of the signal paths includes a light path section (20A) passing through the medium as a measurement signal path (23A), and the output signal of the signal mixer (31) is further processed to produce information relating to the scattering medium (FIG. 2).

    摘要: Sensors and a method for detecting an analyte are described. Sensors each have a volume of a hydrophilic medium that retains an amount of analyte proportionate to the concentration of analyte in a biological fluid, electrodes and a redox enzyme in contact with medium, and an electron transfer mediator. The fluid contacts sensors and at initially predetermined intervals intermittently applies a potential to electrode sufficient to oxidize the mediator and sensing current through electrode as a function of the duration of the applied potential. The applied mediator oxidizing applied potential is maintained for a period of time sufficient to determine the rate of change of current with time through electrode. The current flow is correlated with the current flow for known concentrations of the analyte in medium.

    摘要: Assembly and method for measuring the concentration of an analyte in a biological matrix. The assembly includes an implantable optical-sensing element that comprises a body, and a membrane mounted on the body in a manner such that the membrane and the body define a cavity. The membrane is permeable to the analyte, but is impermeable to background species in the biological matrix. A refractive element is positioned in the cavity. A light source transmits light of a first intensity onto the refractive element, and a light detector receives light of a second intensity that is reflected from the cavity. A controller device optically coupled to the detector compares the first and second light intensities, and relates the intensities to analyte concentration.
