Patent number: 11614438Abstract: An integrated glucose monitoring system comprising a glucometer and mobile device housed in a housing. The glucometer includes a measurement component to receive a blood glucose test strip containing a sample of blood of an individual, and a port to transmit the blood glucose measurement to a mobile device. The mobile device communicatively and physically coupled to the glucometer. The mobile device includes a port configured to couple with the glucometer, a communication component to receive the blood glucose measurement from glucometer, a power management component to transmit power to the glucometer, and another port to receive power from a power source to power the mobile device. The housing is to house the glucometer and the mobile device to form a single solitary glucose monitoring system.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2020Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Tula Health, Inc.Inventors: Devin Miller, David Miller, Peter Derrick

Patent number: 8978436Abstract: For controlling the flatness of the strip during the rolling of aluminum strip or foil, the system consists of a full width bank of cryogenic roll cooling devices acting on the roll(s) and a full width bank of roll heating devices also acting the roll(s). Both or either of the cooling and heating banks are divided into individually controllable zones. A process automation system controls the action of the cooling and heating banks via feedback from a strip shape meter and/or a predictive process model, in order, by thermal growth/contraction, to create the best roll profile for rolling flat strip.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2009Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Siemens PLCInventors: Alan Douglas McRae, Paul Ronald Osborne, Peter Derrick Smith

Publication number: 20050178973Abstract: An ion focussing and conveying device 10 comprises a plurality of electrodes 12 in series. Means is provided to apply a first alternating voltage waveform to each electrode 12, the phase of the alternating voltage in the first waveform is applied to each electrode 12 in the series being ahead of the phase of the first alternating voltage waveform applied to the preceding electrode 12 in the series by less than 180°, preferably by 90° or less, such that ions are focussed onto an axis of travel and impelled along the series of electrodes 12.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2005Publication date: August 18, 2005Inventors: Peter Derrick, Alexander Colburn, Anastassios Giannakopulos

Publication number: 20050023459Abstract: Mass spectrometry apparatus 105 comprises a serial arrangement of an ion source 110, first time of flight means, a field free region 120, means to fragment the molecules, a second time of flight means and a large area detector 160. The second time of flight means includes an ion mirror 150, the ion mirror 150 being arranged to produce a reflecting substantially quadratic field. The first time of flight means is arranged to provide spatial focusing concomitant with time focusing of ions at or near the entrance to the ion mirror 150. The means provided to fragment the ions front the first time of flight means can be a collision cell 140 or in the field free region 220 or in the first time of flight means. The means to fragment the molecules has a potential which is different from the potential at the entrance to the ion mirror 150, and the detecting surface of the detector 160 is mounted in the time focal surface of the ion mirror 150.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2004Publication date: February 3, 2005Inventors: Alexander Colburn, Peter Derrick, Anastassios Giannakopulos
