Patent number: 10270644Abstract: A device may receive an alarm from a network and determine whether to process the alarm using a robotic process automation (RPA) engine or a machine learning automation (MLA) engine. Based on the determination, the device may selectively cause the alarm to be processed by the RPA engine or the MLA engine. The device may receive data associated with a network performance indicator and may provide the data to the MLA engine. The MLA engine may use a machine learning model to assign a score to the data and may determine whether to generate a trouble ticket based on the score.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2018Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Luca Valsecchi, Luca Moreschini, Vincenzo Forciniti

Publication number: 20170338864Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless data communication module (100) for a drug injection device. The wireless data communication module (100) comprises a folded flexible carrier member (107) comprising a plurality of stacked component support regions (203, 205, 207, 209, 211) and a display (103), such as a LCD or OLED display, electrically connected to a first component support region (203) of the folded flexible carrier member (107) via a first set of electrical connection terminals. The display (103) comprises an outwardly facing readable display and an opposing, downwardly facing, optical reflector (319). The wireless data communication module (100) additionally comprises a NFC antenna (105) attached to a second component support region (205) of the folded flexible carrier member (107) situated below the first component mounting region (203). The optical reflector (319) of the display comprises an optically reflective and non-magnetically permeable material.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2016Publication date: November 23, 2017Inventors: Niels Pryds Rolsted, Kim Ejholm Hansen, Tommaso Borghi, Bennie Pedersen, Sune Pelle Borregaard, Luca Valsecchi, Paolo Soro, Lorenzo Bernardini

Patent number: 8926369Abstract: An electrical connector can receive a substrate having conductive tracks. The connector includes a housing with a port and at least one alignment feature that together define a direction of insertion. At least three function pins mounted to the housing each include contacts that electrically connect to one of the conductive tracks of a substrate inserted in the connector. A sense pin mounted to the housing has a contact that electrically connects to at least one of the conductive tracks of an inserted substrate. The sense pin can include a plurality of electrically-connected segments, each segment extending substantially parallel or substantially perpendicular to the direction of insertion of the substrate. Systems and methods for detecting an analyte in a bodily-fluid sample are also described.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: LifeScan Scotland LimitedInventors: Gary Carroll, Ivan Confield, Luca Valsecchi, Michele Sala, Maurizio Volpe, Roberto Beretta, John Nelson

Publication number: 20130143246Abstract: A hand-held test meter for use with an analytical test strip in the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample (e.g., a whole blood sample) includes a housing, with an outer surface, and an analytical test strip ejection mechanism (“ATSEM”). The ATSEM has an actuation button disposed in the outer surface of the housing, a motion amplification and rotation assembly (“MA&RA”) operatively connected to the actuation button and a test strip slider (“TSS”) operatively connected to the MA&RA. The actuation button is configured for movement by a user's digit in a first direction and the MA&RA and TSS are configured to convert the movement in the first direction into amplified movement of the TSS in a second direction with the second direction being rotated with respect to the first direction. Moving the TSS in the second direction from the engaged state to an ejected state ejects the strip.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 2, 2011Publication date: June 6, 2013Applicant: LifeScan Scotland Ltd.Inventors: Jonny NELSON, Alan Faulkner, Luca Valsecchi, Roberto Beretta, Maurizio Volpe, Michele Sala, Nick Foley, Colin Crossland, Paul Trickett

Patent number: 8057753Abstract: A test strip ejection mechanism, for use with a test strip receiving port and a test strip, includes a framework, an elongated shape memory alloy (SMA) strip (e.g., a SMA wire), a slider, and a heating module. The SMA strip has first and second ends that are attached to the framework and exhibits a solid state transition temperature. The slider is configured to travel along the framework. The heating module is configured to heat the SMA strip from a temperature below the solid state transition temperature to a temperature above the solid state transition temperature. Moreover, the SMA strip and slider are configured such that the slider travels along the framework under an applied force exerted on the slider by the SMA strip as the shape memory strip is heated from a temperature below the solid state transition temperature to a temperature above the solid state temperature by the heating module.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2010Date of Patent: November 15, 2011Assignee: LifeScan Scotland LimitedInventors: Marco DeAngeli, Luca Valsecchi

Publication number: 20110186588Abstract: A method for ejecting a test strip from a test meter includes initiating activation of a test strip ejection mechanism that is in a pre-ejection state. In the method, the test strip ejection mechanism includes a shape memory alloy strip that exhibits a solid state transition temperature and has a programmed configuration and a deformed configuration. In the test strip ejection mechanism pre-ejection state, a test strip has been received within a test strip receiving port of the test meter and the shape memory alloy strip is in the deformed configuration. The method also includes heating, in response to the initiation step, the shape memory alloy strip from below the solid state transition temperature to above the solid state transition temperature. The heating results in the shape memory alloy strip undergoing a transformation from the deformed configuration to the programmed configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 4, 2010Publication date: August 4, 2011Applicant: LifeScan Scotland LimitedInventors: Marco DeANGELI, Luca VALSECCHI
