  • Publication number: 20240085340
    Abstract: A method of determining analyte concentration in a body fluid with a mobile device having a camera. A user is prompted to apply body fluid to an optical test strip and then waits a predetermined minimum waiting time. The camera captures an image of part of the test field having the body fluid applied thereto. Analyte concentration is determined based on the image captured. The determination includes estimating a point in time of sample application to the test field by taking into account time-dependent information derived from the image captured using a first color channel of a color space. The determination also estimates the concentration of the analyte by taking into account concentration-dependent information derived from the image using a second color channel of the color space.

  • Patent number: 11928814
    Abstract: A method for generating a module configured to determine concentration of an analyte in a sample of a body fluid is disclosed. The method includes providing a first set of measurement data derived from images of one or more test strips indicating a color transformation in response to a body fluid containing an analyte. The images can be recorded by multiple devices with differing cameras, software and/or hardware device configurations for image recording and image data processing. A neural network model can be generated in a machine learning process applying an artificial neural network and a module configured to determine concentration of an analyte in a second sample of a body fluid can be generated. Further, the present disclosure includes a system for generating the module as well as a method and a system for determining concentration of an analyte in a sample of a bodily fluid.

  • Patent number: 8117882
    Abstract: A method for manufacture of a multi-layer pipe (5) by means of a bending roller with individual material layers (1, 2) to be combined into the multi-layer pipe (5) being placed one upon the other, and the multi-layer material thus formed being shaped into a multi-layer pipe (5) by means of the bending roller, and in the final stage of pipe shaping in the bending roller and/or a subsequently used bending machine a material layer (1) acting as an internal pipe being pressed non-positively into a material layer (2) acting as an external pipe.

  • Publication number: 20110146366
    Abstract: A process for producing a multilayer pipe (5) with the aid of a plate forming machine, in which individual layers of material (1, 2) to be combined to form the multilayer pipe (5) are laid one on top of the other, at least one of the layers of material (1) consisting of more than one laid-on element (1a, 1b), after that, a first connection (3a, 3b), respectively, is then created between the bordering elements of the overlying layer of material (1a, 1b) and the adjacent layer of material (2), the multilayer material formed in this way is formed into the pipe (5) and, during the deformation, the edges (4a, 4b) of the elements (1a, 1b) of the overlying layer of material (1a, 1b) that are still freely displaceable with respect to one another can move freely toward one another in accordance with the extent to which deforming has progressed, on account of the different circumferential lengths of the inner pipe (1a, 1b) and the outer pipe (2), then, after deforming has progressed to a certain extent, these edges (4a
