  • Publication number: 20220079475
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, or device that includes an analyte sensor for monitoring analyte levels. The system, apparatus, or device can include a printed circuit board configured to monitor an analyte level, and a battery connected to the printed circuit board and configured to power the printed circuit board. The system, apparatus, or device can also include a connector connected to the printed circuit board and configured to establish an electrical connection between and analyte sensor and the printed circuit board, and a processor connected to the printed circuit board and configured to process data associated with the monitored analyte level. In addition, the system, apparatus, or device, can include an antenna for transmitting the monitored analyte level resting on a plurality of risers. The risers can extend from a surface of the printed circuit board by a fixed distance.

  • Patent number: 10384014
    Abstract: A sensing system for determining a position of a plunger within a fluid container. The sensing system includes a light source, a light detector and a controller. The light source is configured to emit light into a barrel wall of the fluid container so that the barrel wall serves as a waveguide to guide the light to travel therein in an axial direction. The light detector is positioned to detect reflected light that was emitted by the light source, traveled through the barrel wall serving as the waveguide, and then reflected off a surface of the plunger. The controller is in communication with the light detector to determine an axial position of the plunger surface based on data from the light detector of the detected reflected light.

  • Patent number: 9301680
    Abstract: A device for non-invasive monitoring of an eye position and ocular movements of a patient having: a housing body (2) having at least one through opening (2a); a plurality of light sources (3) housed in said housing body (2); a plurality of sensor means (4) housed in said housing body (2); deflector means (6) for invisible radiation (RL) supplied, in use, by said plurality of light sources (3) and reflected by said eye (O) under examination; support means (8) that can be adjusted for said housing body (2); at least one program data processing and control unit (9). The support means (8) can be adjusted in such a way that the through opening (2a) of the housing body (2) can be placed at the eye (O) under examination so that the invisible radiation hits the eye (O) frontally.
