IPC: G01N27/327
Filed: 2003-02-19
Abstract: Disclosed is an electrochemical sensor for the determina-tion of analytes in body fluids, e.g. glucose in blood. The sensor involves a non-conductive base which provides a flow path for the body fluid with the base having a working and counter electrode on its surface which are in electrical com-munication with a detector of current. The base and a cover therefore provide a capillary space containing the electrodes into which the body fluid is drawn by capillary action. The counter electrode has a sub-element which contains an electro-active material and is configured in the system (sensor and meter) to provide an error signal when insufficient body fluid is drawn into the capillary.

Abstract: Dans cette invention, un procédé et un système de vérification de l'intégrité de données dans un dépôt de données et d'application des données de dépôt à une pluralité de modèles d'analyse prédéfinis utilisent d'une part un système d'intégrité de données pour vérifier la précision des données reçues et d'autre part un système analytique pour appliquer les données et une série de modèles aux données. Ce système d'intégrité de données est configuré pour produire une série de rapports de diagnostic qui identifient les données aberrantes ou d'autres valeurs de données pouvant indiquer des erreurs de données. Les rapports de diagnostic peuvent comprendre des liens pour les sous-rapports présentant des valeurs récapitulatives sous-jacentes de données ainsi que des liens pour l'éditeur de données en vue de corriger directement les données erronées sans que celles-ci ne quittent le rapport. Le système analytique utilise ces données pour déterminer les valeurs pour une bibliothèque de facteurs. Les modèles basés sur ces facteurs sont ensuite appliqués aux données. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, ces données sont d'ordre financier et les modèles sont configurés pour fournir des estimations des attributs tels que le risque et le rendement de divers portefeuilles. L'intégrité des données et des modèles est ensuite vérifiée par une source externe. Par ailleurs, un système de rapport peut être intégré pour produire des rapports d'analyse de risques, de rendements et autres portefeuilles.

IPC: E06B3/673
Filed: 1995-09-28
Abstract: Vacuum glazings and methods of manufacture thereof are described; the glazings provide improved shear stress resistance in that the vacuum glazing comprises two sheets of glass (2, 3), hermetically sealed around the edge (4), with a thermally insulating internal vacuum, and an array of support pillars (5) placed between the glass sheets (2, 3), wherein the pillars (5) consist of a core (13), made of a material of higher compressive strength, with at least one end covered by a layer of softer material (14). Alternatively, the vacuum glazing comprises two sheets of glass (2, 3), hermetically sealed around the edge (4), with a thermally insulating vacuum, and an array of support pillars (5) placed between the glass sheets (2, 3), wherein the array includes a small number of fused solder glass pillars located over the surface of the glazing, between pillars of higher compressive strength. Advantageously the support pillars (5) comprise two flat parallel ends (15, 16) shaped to provide stable equilibrium, and sides (17) shaped to provide unstable equilibrium, to ensure that the pillars when placed on a glass sheet will fall onto one of the flat faces (15, 16) and thereafter lie on that face.

Abstract: Devices for cost-effectively performing in-vitro diagnostic chemical analyses at multiple distributed locations within a medical institution are disclosed.  One object of this invention is to provide a network of distributed sensory devices that acquire sensor signals from blood specimens and deliver those signals through a connection to a central location for analysis by a general-purpose computer and generation of an analysis result. The analysis result is then sent to numerous locations on a network for display, including also possibly back to the location of signal acquisition. Cost-effective mobile sensing devices are also sdisclosed. The present system includes blood-sensor signal acquisition devices distributed throughout the hospital. The sensory signal-acquisition devices are card readers that acquire raw sensory signals from diagnostic cards inserted therein. These diagnostic cards are smart card-like devices modified for blood collection that contain sensory elements such as electrodes adapted to provide a raw sensory signal. The signal acquisition devices are modified smart card readers, which acquire the raw sensory data from an inserted smart card through a standardized contact arrangement and provide the raw data to data processing devices such as data acquisition cards. The system includes multiple remote ports for acquiring blood sensor signals. One or more card reader, when connected to a mobile general-purpose computer, can be converted into a complete mobile blood analyzer.
