  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OBSERVING SENSOR PARAMETERS
    Publication number: 20110230741
    Abstract: The invention disclosed herein provides methods and materials for observing the state of a sensor, for example those used by diabetic patients to monitor blood glucose levels. Typically a voltage such as a voltage pulse is applied to the sensor in order to solicit a current response from which for example, factors such as impedance values can be derived. Such values can then be used as indicators of a sensor's state, for example the state of sensor hydration, sensor noise, sensor offset, sensor drift or the like.

  • Apparatus and method for exposing data characters onto a strip region of moving photosensitive media
    Patent number: 5646713
    Abstract: An electro-optic system and method for exposing data characters line segments on an edge region of rapidly moving strip film. The system includes a source of pulse illumination directed onto a light valve device that is addressed to form a plurality of discrete, multiple data character line segments. The illumination is synchronized with the film movement and the line segments are sequentially scanned to a strip image region to form a stitched, end to end, image of the line segments.
