Abstract: Selection of on optical pattern in a scene is identified by overlaying, on a display, an indicator of a detected optical pattern identifying a location of the optical pattern in one or more images, receiving a user input on the display at a position that does not overlap the location of the optical pattern, and presenting information related to the optical pattern, based on receiving the user input, even though the position of user input did not overlap the location of the optical pattern. The user input can be received at a detached selection indicator and/or using an adaptive input area.

Abstract: A method of image analysis is provided for recognition of a pattern in an image. The method includes receiving a plurality of images acquired by a camera, where the plurality of images include a plurality of optical patterns in an arrangement. The method also includes matching the arrangement to a pattern template, wherein the pattern template is a predefined arrangement of optical patterns. The method also includes identifying an optical pattern of the plurality of optical patterns as a selected optical pattern based on a position of the selected optical pattern in the arrangement. The method also includes decoding the selected optical pattern to generate an object identifier and storing the object identifier in a memory device.

Abstract: A memory device is provided including instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform the steps including receiving a plurality of images acquired by a camera, the plurality of images including a plurality of optical patterns, wherein an optical pattern of the plurality of optical patterns encodes an object identifier. The steps include presenting the plurality of images comprising the plurality of optical patterns on a display, and presenting a plurality of visual indications overlying the plurality of optical patterns in the plurality of images. The steps also include identifying a selected optical pattern of the plurality of optical patterns based on a user action and a position of the selected optical pattern in one or more of the plurality of images. The steps also include decoding the selected optical pattern to generate the object identifier and storing the object identifier in a second memory device.

Abstract: Lancets and methods of use are provided. Embodiments include lancets including a sleeve mounted to an elongated body having a needle terminating in a sharp tip.

Abstract: A lancing device for use with a removable lancet having a sharp tip. The lancet includes a housing. The lancing device can include a handle connected to the housing for movement between a storage position, where the housing and handle are configured to be compactly stowed, and a use position, where the housing and handle are configured to be grasped by a user to perform the piercing operation. The lancing device can include an opening formed in the housing and a tray that is moveable with respect to the housing between an open position, where the lancet can be installed on or removed from the tray, and a closed position, where the lancet can be utilized to perform a piercing operation. The lancing device can include a structure moveable with respect to the housing between a first position, where a first piercing aperture is defined, and a second position, where a second piercing aperture is defined, where the second piercing aperture is larger than the first piercing aperture.
