  • Publication number: 20220274114
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a container for storing a reagent, the container comprising: a storage space for reagent (R) comprising a flexible pouch; a passage having a first end (4) that opens onto the outside of the container and a second end that opens into the storage space, the passage being designed to allow a sampling device (20) to access the storage space; a deformable partition (7) that closes off the passage when said partition is not mechanically loaded and which can be loaded by the sampling device to a position in which the passage is open; a seal (6) that is positioned in the passage and comprises an elastically deformable rim (64) defining an orifice (61) that is designed to receive part of the sampling device (20), said rim (64) being designed to establish a seal together with the outer walls of the sampling device when said device is introduced into the passage.

  • Patent number: 11376586
    Abstract: A sensor cassette insertable into an analysis module for carrying out electrochemical measurement processes in sample fluids, including a sensor carrier which is essentially planar and carries electrochemical sensor elements for determining chemical and/or physical parameters of the sample fluids. The sensor elements are connected to conductor tracks formed on the sensor carrier. A cover part is arranged on the sensor carrier, in which at least one groove-shaped measuring channel that is intended for the flow of the sample fluid and opens towards the sensor carrier is formed, which measuring channel is connected to at least one electrochemical sensor element and is fluidly connected to at least one fluid connector arranged on the side facing away from the sensor carrier. The cover part is a two-component injection molded part having a hard component and a soft, component. The measuring channel is formed in the soft component over its entire length.

  • Patent number: 10721431
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for determining a timestamp t of an image of a video stream V(t) comprising a plurality of images, said method comprising the steps of determining an acquired image descriptor of at least one of a plurality of acquired images Si of an acquired video stream during a display phase and determining a similarity level of an original image descriptor and the acquired image descriptor and if the similarity level of the original image descriptor and the acquired image descriptor fulfills at least one criterion, determining the timestamp t of the original image descriptor and assigning the timestamp t to the acquired image corresponding to the acquired image descriptor as an estimated timestamp T. Augmented information can be displayed to a user depending on the time stamp.
