  • Publication number: 20140131199
    Abstract: In some aspects, a modular analyte measurement system having a replaceable strip port module is provided to permit contaminated modules to be replaced. Some aspects of the present disclosure related to barriers for strip ports or the sealing of strip ports and/or analyte measurement devices to maintain a clean strip port and/or enable the strip port to be cleaned for reuse. Cleaning tools are also provided. Also provided are strip port interfaces that guide fluid away from the strip port opening, as well as absorptive elements that prevent fluid from entering a strip port. Analyte measurement devices with gravity sensors or accelerometers are also provided, along with methods related thereto. Also provided are docking station that serve as an information server and provides storage and recharging capabilities.

  • Patent number: 7504648
    Abstract: A non-imaging tool for assisting in determining a focus in a scanning system that scans a planar object with a scanning beam in a fast scan direction, while the planar object is moved under the scanning beam in a slow scan direction perpendicular to the fast scan direction. The tool includes a plate having a planar surface; a focusing wedge mounted on the plate; and a ramped grating which forms part of the focusing wedge and which has a tilted surface which extends from above the plate surface to below the plate surface; the ramped grating including alternating parallel first stripes and second stripes, wherein the first and second stripes are one of, respectively, fluorescent and non-fluorescent stripes, storage phosphor and non-storage phosphor stripes, and reflective and non-reflective stripes.
