Abstract: A lancing device integrated with a sensing strip and method of making and using the same are provided. A lance and analyte sensing strip are combined in a single, preferably disposable, device. In a preferred embodiment, a slot is provided in a support member so the lance can be engaged by a lance driver and driven into the skin producing a bodily fluid sample from a wound. The sensing area of the sensing strip is adjacent to the wound location reducing dexterity requirements for patients.

Abstract: There is provided a hydrogen storage system having one or more hydrogen storage containers disposed in a confined area with a vent line extending from the one or more storage containers to a location outside of the confined area. One or more sensors are disposed in the confined area for detecting one or more pre-determined unsafe conditions relating to the storage of hydrogen in the contained area and at least one actuator is provided for actuating an operable valve of the vent line to release the hydrogen from the hydrogen storage container to a location outside the confined area at a pre-determined release rate in response to a signal from the sensor indicating an unsafe condition. A power system incorporating a hydrogen storage system as described above is also provided.

Abstract: By inputting genetic and imaging information into a trained classification system, a second opinion diagnosis, a prognosis, clinical trial qualification or similar case information are output to assist a user. Consistent analysis may be provided using image based measurements in combination with pharmacogenomics studies. Fusing imaging, genetics and other information, such as clinical data, may more likely reduce the number of uncertainties in medical analysis, possibly improving patient safety, identifying new capabilities and supporting research.
