  • Patent number: 11730391
    Abstract: A breath analyte device includes a breath volume in fluid communication with a sampling volume. The device also includes a sampling sensor configured to generate a breath signal that varies in response to changes in gas pressure (e.g., sound waves) in the breath volume and one or more analyte sensors configured to generate one or more analyte signals that vary in response to a concentration of one or more target analytes present in the sampling volume. A control unit is configured to determine a time at which to measure the concentration of target analytes in the sampling volume based on the breath signal and measure the concentration of the target analytes based on the analyte signals at the determined time. The device may also include a pump configured to motivate gas from the breath volume into the sampling volume prior to measuring the concentration of the target analytes.

  • Patent number: 3972139
    Abstract: A number-displaying device wherein a light chamber of an external unit is sub-divided by units wedged therein into seven compartments in a figure eight array, such that by selectively energizing an appropriate combination of seven lights (one in each said compartment), any number from zero to nine is formed in the display area of the device.
