  • Publication number: 20240358288
    Abstract: An assembly for delivering an analyte sensor comprising a sensor control device. The sensor control device comprises an electronics housing with a shell having a first aperture and a first interface, and a mount having a second aperture and second interface, wherein the housing has an interior space. The two interfaces define a first sterile barrier. The housing also comprises a first mating member, a circuit board, and an analyte sensor. The assembly also comprises an applicator to deliver the sensor, and comprising a housing and a cap removably coupled to the housing to seal the applicator's interior, a sharp hub, and a second mating member extending within the first or second aperture, which mates with the first mating member to define a second sterile barrier. The sensor control device also comprises a collimator, a third sterile barrier, and a fourth sterile barrier which define a sterilization zone.

  • Publication number: 20240277262
    Abstract: Systems, devices and methods are provided for inserting at least a portion of a sensor for sensing an analyte level in a bodily fluid of a subject. In particular, disclosed herein are various embodiments of reset tools for resetting an insertion apparatus, and containers for storing an analyte monitoring assembly. The analyte monitoring assembly can be a combination of components used for monitoring an analyte of the subject. The containers described herein can be used to load an analyte monitoring assembly into an insertion apparatus. The insertion apparatus can then be used to insert at least a portion of the sensor into the subject's skin. The insertion apparatus can be reusable.

  • Publication number: 20240245324
    Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are provided for inserting a sensor into skin of a subject. The insertion apparatus includes a sensor control device, a housing, and a guide for guiding insertion of a sensor into the skin. The housing may have an interface element, a cover, and a device carrier configured to releasably retain the sensor control device. The guide may be configured to support at least a portion of the sensor, and includes a retaining element. In a first configuration, the retaining element is configured to engage with the interface element to resist distal movement of the housing relative to the guide. In a second configuration, the interface element is configured to disengage from the retaining element to distally move the housing relative to the guide and insert the sensor into the skin.

  • Publication number: 20210350916
    Abstract: A medical equipment distribution assembly includes a housing, an electronic control unit (ECU), a camera assembly, a thermal imaging unit, and/or at least one medical kit. The ECU may be electrically connected with the camera assembly and/or the thermal imaging unit. The ECU may be configured to receive identifying information via the camera assembly and/or the thermal imaging unit. The ECU may be configured to identify an individual substantially proximate the housing and/or the camera assembly; determine if said individual is experiencing a fever; and/or distribute a medical kit to said individual.

  • Publication number: 20070212798
    Abstract: A system predicts die loss for a semiconductor wafer by using a method referred to as universal in-line metric (UILM). A wafer inspection tool detects defects on the wafer and identifies the defects by various defect types. The UILM method applies to various ways of classification of the defect types and takes into account the impact of each defect type on the die loss.

  • Publication number: 20060011798
    Abstract: A portable display arrangement for the display of graphics at a conference or like event includes a plurality of flexible display panels. The plurality of flexible display panels wrap around a common axis to form a roll. A shipping container defines a storage cavity receives and supports the roll. A plurality of tubular members for suspending the plurality of flexible display panels from one or more trusses or other suspension structure are disposed in the storage cavity.

  • Publication number: 20050158887
    Abstract: A test method provides a sample of wafer level defects most likely to cause yield loss on a semiconductor wafer subdivided into a plurality of integrated circuits (ICs). Defect size and location data from an inspection tool is manipulated in an algorithm based on defect sizes and geometry parameters. The defects are classified by defect size to form size based populations. The contribution of each size range of defect population to yield loss is calculated and random samples for review are selected from each defect size population. The number of samples from each size defect population is proportional to the predicted yield impact of each sample. The method is rapid and permits on-line process modification to reduce yield losses.
