Title: Insertion set for a transcutaneous sensor
Inventor: HALILI EDGARDO C
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 1998-05-27
Granted: 2003-06-10
Abstract: An improved insertion set (10) is provided for transcutaneous placement of a  sensor (12) such as a glucose sensor at a selected site within the body of a patient. The insertion set comprises a mounting ba se (30) defining an upwardly open channel for receiving and supporting a flexible thin film sensor (12), in combination with a cap (60) assembled with said mounting base (30) to capture and retain proximal end of the sensor (12) within said channel. The sensor (12) further  includes a distal segment with sensor electrodes thereon which protrude from the mounting base (30) for transcutaneous placement, wherein the sensor distal segment is slidably carried by a slotted insertion needle fitted through the assembled base and cap (60). Placement o f the insertions against the patient's skin causes the insertion needle to pierce the skin to carry the sensor electrodes to the desired subcutaneous site, after which the insertion needle can be slidably withdrawn from the insertion set (10). The mounting base (30) further includ es a fitting and related snap latch members for mated slide fit releasable coupling of conductive contact pads (18) on a proximal end of the  sensor to a cable connector for transmitting sensor signals to a suitable monitoring device.

Title: Method for exchanging data between an automatic dispenser and a microcircuit card
Inventor: MARDINIAN GREGORY
IPC: G07F7/08
Filed: 1999-10-13
Granted: 2008-04-01
Abstract: The invention concerns a card comprising a value data capable of being debited by the automatic dispenser in exchange for delivery of an article or a service. The automatic dispenser commands the modification of a ratification indicator, stored in the card non-volatile memory, between two states, namely a ratified state corresponding to the situation where the previous transaction operated with the card, whether with said automatic dispenser or another one, was properly carried out, and a non-ratified state in the event said previous transaction was interrupted during execution. The automatic dispenser successively: conditionally debits the card, if the indicator is in ratified state; commands the card to position the indicator in the non-ratified state if a debit has been performed in the previous step; then commands the delivery of the article or service; and if the article is actually delivered at the previous step, commands the card to position the indicator in ratified state.
