Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed which provide for a “factory-calibrated” sensor. In doing so, the systems and methods include predictive prospective modeling of sensor behavior, and also include predictive modeling of physiology. With these two correction factors, a consistent determination of sensitivity can be achieved, thus achieving factory calibration.

Abstract: Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.

Abstract: An improved, substantially non-streaking, aqueous hard surface cleaning composition is disclosed comprising approximately 0.05% to 25.0% by weight of a surfactant selected from anionic, nonionic, amphoteric and cationic/nonionic N-bearing surfactants of up to 30 carbon atoms; approximately 0.05% to 25.0% by weight of an unbranched, straight chain polymer of molecular weight less than 5,000; approximately; 0.05% to 25.0% by weight of an aqueous solvent of the general structure R-(CH.sub.2).sub.x OH where R is selected from the group consisting essentially of H, alkyl, aryl, aroxy or alkoxy, wherein X is an integer from 1 to 10; a builder; and the remainder as water.The unbranched, straight chain polymers are preferably selected from the group consisting of polyethylene glycol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, methyl hydroxy propyl cellulose, or polyacrylic acid.Cleaning adjuncts selected from the group consisting of dyes, fragrances, pH adjusters, and antimicrobially active compounds may be added.
