Publication number: 20210315471Abstract: To calibrate a differential pressure measurement to a geodetic height difference of (approximately) zero, a reference position determination part is led close up to the blood pressure measuring device where a calibration signal is triggered if a minimum distance is not reached between two respective points defined at the reference position determination part and a blood pressure measuring device. A control device integrated in or connected to the blood pressure measuring device performs the calibration measurement in response to the trigger signal. The triggering means are implemented, e.g., as an RFID tag on the reference position determination part-side and an associated near-field communication reader on the blood pressure measuring device-side. If the near-field communication reader detects the correctly encoded RFID tag in the reference position determination part, it triggers the calibration signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2019Publication date: October 14, 2021Inventors: Thomas THALMEIER, Roman GRULER

Patent number: 8452363Abstract: The invention proposes a manual measuring appliance (112) and an analytical measuring system (110) which can be used to measure at least one analyte in an eye fluid of an eye (114). The handheld measuring appliance (112) comprises a measuring system (120) and a positioning system (122). The measuring system (120) can measure at least one property of the at least one analyte and/or at least one analyte-dependent change of property of at least one ocular sensor (116) in the eye fluid, and this can be used to infer a concentration of the analyte in the eye fluid. The positioning system (122) is set up to measure a spatial positioning, wherein the spatial positioning comprises a distance between at least one measurement location in the eye (114) and the handheld measuring appliance (112) and also furthermore at least one further positioning co-ordinate.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2007Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Eyesense AGInventors: Achim Müller, Peter Herbrechtsmeier, Klaus Haberstroh, Roman Gruler
