Patent number: 7884338Abstract: A first light source emits a light signal along a measurement optical path that includes a sample and a second light source emits a light signal along a dummy measurement optical path. A measurement circuit receives the light signals and provides outputs separated in time which are indicative of the phase of the respective light signals. A phase shift is induced in light in the measurement optical path by the sample. A reference circuit receives a signal indicative of the phase of the light signals emitted by the first and second light sources. Circuitry compares the phases of light output from the two circuits to provide output indicative of a first measured phase difference during operation of the first light source. Correction is applied to this measurement by taking a similar phase difference measurement during operation of the second light source and comparing the two phase differences.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2009Date of Patent: February 8, 2011Assignee: Precisense A/SInventor: Soren Aasmul

Patent number: 7869042Abstract: In apparatus for the production and detection of fluorescence at a sample surface, the height of the apparatus above the sample surface is reduced, and loss of the emitted fluorescence due to reflection loss and light scattering is minimized. The apparatus comprises a three-dimensionally curved light reflecting surface (40) that directs light from a light source (32) transversely to its original path and focuses the light on to an illumination zone (30) at or below the sample surface. The reflecting surface (40) also collects, directs and at least partially collimates emitted fluorescence transversely to its original path and towards a detector (46).Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2009Date of Patent: January 11, 2011Assignee: PreciSense A/SInventor: Søren Aasmul

Publication number: 20070293742Abstract: This invention relates to an system for self treatment. The system consists of several portable modules where one of the modules is designated as a master module. The master module controls, supervises and monitors all the mutual information and data exchange between itself and the rest of the modules. The modules can e.g. consist of a BGM, a doser and a storage container. The modules may be able to generate and store data which is transmitted to the master module if it is within range. If the master module is not within range, the data is kept locally in the module until the master module is available. The master module can send the data to an external unit like a computer or database for further processing. A physician or an expert care-team can access the data in the database and give guidance to the patient on the basis of these processed data. This processing could also be done automatically by utilization of an expert system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2007Publication date: December 20, 2007Applicant: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Jan Simonsen, Jens Poulsen, Kent Rokkjaer, Lars Christensen, Soren Aasmul, Steffen Lav

Publication number: 20030083626Abstract: Described is an electronic injection device wherein an electronic circuit is designed to work in two alternative modes: an air shot mode and a dose injection mode. When working in the air shot mode a small predetermined air shot dose is pressed out from the ampule when the injection button is actuated. When working in the injection mode, a dose set by operation of the dose setting means is injected by operation of the injection button. The electronic injection device is normally working in the air shot mode but shifts to work in the dose injection mode when it receives a signal indicating that the dose setting means has been operated. The circuit returns to its air shot mode when receiving a signal indicating that the set dose has been injected. This signal can originate either from a switch indicating that the protection cap is mounted or from a switch indicating that the injection button has been pressed.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 10, 2002Publication date: May 1, 2003Inventors: Jens Munk, Soren Aasmul, Henrik Ljunggreen, Lars Hofmann Christensen
