  • Sampling module device and method
    Patent number: 8641643
    Abstract: A tissue penetration device and method of using same that may include a lancet module or sampling module. The sampling module may optionally be in a cartridge configuration and include sampling and analyzing functions, which may be integrated.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2006
    Date of Patent: February 4, 2014
    Assignee: Sanofi-Aventis Deutschland GmbH
    Inventors: Dominique M. Freeman, Dirk Boecker, Don Alden, Hans-Joachim Hartmann, Lutz Weber
  • Thermal regulation of fluidic samples within a diagnostic cartridge
    Patent number: 7344894
    Abstract: A method and miniature analytical device with thermal regulation of reactant using a localized heat source capable of emitting electromagnetic radiation, such as light emitting diodes (“LED”s) and vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (“VCSEL”s), generating internal heat, such as resistive, inductive and Peltier heaters, or external heating. The miniature analytical device comprises of array of temperature-controlled zones to restrict the volume heated and localize the heating by having the localized heat source comprise an array of emitters or heaters.

  • Process and device for determining the magnetic characteristics of thin magnetic layers
    Patent number: 5917321
    Abstract: A process is presented for the direct determination of characteristic magnetic values of thin magnetizable layers, in which an element creating a magnetic field creates the magnetization of a part surface in such a way that the thin magnetizable layer, the element creating the magnetic field, and a magnetic field sensor are located in a relative position of rest to one another. The magnetic field sensor is then positioned opposite the magnetized part surface by a relative movement of the element creating the magnetic field, the magnetic field sensor, and the thin magnetic layer. During the subsequent measurement of the magnetization of the part surface, the thin magnetic layer, the element creating the magnetic field, and the magnetic field sensor are in a relative position of rest to one another.
