    摘要: A sensor comprising a memory device having a first electrode and a first chemical-sensing layer coupled to the first electrode. The chemical-sensing layer, in the presence of an analyte, is arranged to change a property of the Memristive device. The sensor can detect an analyte by providing a sample to be detected proximate the chemical sensing layer, observing the state of the memory element; and determining a property of the sample by comparing the observed state of the memory element with a previous state. The sensor is manufactured by depositing a second electrode on a surface, depositing an active layer or layers onto said second electrode, depositing a first electrode onto said active layer(s), and coupling a chemically sensitive layer to the first electrode.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a controller unit and methods for controlling an insulin pump. The controller unit includes a user input that receives a gain factor. The gain factor has been calculated based on historical data in relation to a patient. The controller unit includes a measurement input for receiving data representative of a measured blood glucose level for the patient. Processing logic of the controller unit is configured to apply the measured blood glucose level to a pancreatic beta-cell insulin secretion computational model to predict an insulin output level, apply the gain factor to the predicted insulin output level to determine a patient insulin deficiency level, and calculate a control signal for controlling the insulin output level of the insulin pump based on the patient insulin deficiency level. Methods are provided for optimizing the gain factor based on the historical data in relation to the patient.

    摘要: An apparatus with a transducer having a first output signal and arranged to receive an electrical input. The transducer switches the first output signal between an ON and OFF state. The apparatus has a chemical sensing surface coupled to the transducer arranged to receive a chemical input. A signal generator oscillates one or more of said inputs to vary the switching point of the transducer. The oscillating input may be the chemical input and/or the electrical input. The output signal may be a pulse whose period ON or OFF is determined by the oscillating input modulated by the chemical input.
