Patents by Inventor Jan H. Simonsen

Jan H. Simonsen has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7803128
    Abstract: This invention relates to a doser comprising a syringe (2) with a needle (3) which extends beyond the doser (1), which comprises an engagement face (4) in the vicinity of the needle so that the engagement face rests against the surface of the tissue into which the needle is inserted. Detector means (5) are provided on said engagement face to sample signals on the skin of the patient. The invention further provides means (13) for receiving external information related to health monitoring of a patient. This provides a doser that may record heart rate, EKG, BGM and hypo-alarm administered medicine. The doser may further be arranged to calculate an appropriate dose of medication on the basis of a number of acquired inputs.

  • Patent number: 5551422
    Abstract: A method for determining glucose concentration in a biological matrix includes the steps of performing at least two detection measurements. In each detection measurement light is irradiated at a defined irradiation site as primary light into the biological matrix, through a boundary surface thereof. The light is propagated along a light path within the biological matrix. An intensity of the light is measured as the light emerges as secondary light through a defined detection site of the boundary surface. At least one of the detection measurements is a spatially resolved measurement of multiply scattered light. The detection site is located relative to the irradiation site such that light which was multiply scattered at scattering centers in the biological matrix is detected. The light paths of the at least two detection measurements within the biological matrix are different.
