  • Publication number: 20240108284
    Abstract: A process and an activation device (30) provides a user (B) activation of a drug measuring device (100). This drug measuring device includes an input unit (3), a testing unit (6) for testing given samples and an image recording device (12). The activation device (30) receives an activation image set (InB), which was generated by the drug measuring device or by a drug measuring device and at least one image (40, 40.1) from the image recording device. The received activation image set is checked as to meeting a predefined release criterion. For this the activation image set is compared with a predefined reference image set (35) for the user. If the release criterion is met, the drug measuring device is released for the user. An activation data set (32) for the user is completed by at least one image of the activation image set, which shows the user.

  • Patent number: 11474096
    Abstract: A breath alcohol measurement device has a sample collector (1) with a sample inlet (2) configured for a contactless introduction of a breath sample. A measurement unit (9) has a sensor (16) that generates a measurement signal based on an alcohol content in the breath sample. A control and evaluation unit (4) determines the alcohol content based on the measurement signal and transmits a result-specific signal to an output unit (5). Some of the breath sample provided into the sample inlet (2) is applied, at least intermittently via a main flow duct (10), to the sensor (16) via a measurement gas duct (21) that is connected via an outlet to the environment (7). Between the sample inlet (2) and the outlet of the main flow duct there is a further outflow opening (6) through which some of the breath sample introduced into the sample inlet exits into the environment.
