Robert D. Schell - Goshen IN, US

Assignee:

Bayer HealtCare LLC - Tarrytown NY

International Classification:

H03L 5/00

US Classification:

327333, 327407

Abstract:

An interface system delivers an output signal having a first signal characteristic in response to first and second input signals having the first signal characteristic and a second, different signal characteristic. The interface system includes a signal input for receiving a first signal having a first signal characteristic and a second signal having a second signal characteristic which is different from the first signal characteristic, a detector circuit for detecting whether the signal at the input is the first signal or the second signal, and a translator circuit for translating either of the first signal or the second signal into the output signal.

Robert D. Schell - Goshen IN, US

Assignee:

Bayer Healthcare, LLC - Tarrytown NY

International Classification:

G01N 21/00

US Classification:

73 102

Abstract:

A test system comprises a sensor container and a testing device. The sensor container has a base and a lid. The container encloses a plurality of test sensors therein. The container includes a calibration label attached thereto. The label includes electrical contacts located thereon that encode calibration information onto the calibration label. The testing device has a sensor-container opening formed thereon. The sensor-container opening has an auto-calibration feature located therein. The auto-calibration feature is external to the testing device. The auto-calibration feature includes calibration elements to communicate with the electrical contacts on the calibration label. The testing device determines the calibration information encoded on the calibration label in response to the calibration elements engaging the electrical contacts. A portion of the sensor container remains external to the meter while the encoded calibration information is being determined.

The container includes a calibration label attached thereto. The label includes electrical contacts located thereon. The electrical contacts encode calibration information onto the calibration label. The testing device has an auto-calibration feature externally located thereon. The testing device is adapted to determine the analyte concentration in a fluid sample. The auto-calibration feature includes calibration elements that communicate with the electrical contacts on the calibration label. The testing device is adapted to determine the calibration information encoded on the calibration label in response to the calibration elements engaging the electrical contacts. The encoded calibration information is determined without inserting the sensor container or the calibration label into the testing device.

International Classification:

C12Q 1/00
G01N 33/48

US Classification:

20440303, 702 19, 702 91, 435 4

Abstract:

A biosensor system determines an analyte concentration using one or more calibrated correlation equations for an optical and/or electrochemical analysis of a biological fluid. The biosensor system may be implemented using a measurement device and a sensor strip. The measurement device senses circuit patterns on an encoding pattern of the sensor strip. The measurement device determines calibration information in response to the circuit patterns, and uses the calibration information to calibrate one or more of the correlation equations. The measurement device uses the calibrated correlation equations to determine the analyte concentration.

Abstract:

A bladeless cooling light includes an airflow assembly, a light assembly, and a housing. The airflow assembly includes an air circulation assembly positioned within the housing and an air passage structure connected to the housing, wherein the air circulation assembly draws air through the housing into the air passage structure. The air passage structure has a separation wall that delineates the air passage structure into an inflow air channel and an outflow air channel to improve the airflow through the air passage structure. A cone-tip hole grid and a wired heater within the air passage structure further improve airflow characteristics; the cone-tip hole grid constricts the flow, while the wired heater increases internal pressure by heating the air. The lighting assembly is mounted to the housing with the air passage structure being positioned around the lighting assembly, such that the light and expelled airflow are projected in the same direction.
