Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for audibly outputting an information piece of an analysis system. SOLUTION: In the method for audibly outputting the information piece by using an audible signal generating apparatus, a signal-generating device is disposed in the analysis system, such that the signal-generating device audibly outputs information piece; and the analysis system analyzes a fluid sample by using an inspecting element; analysis result is generated and processed by a data processing section; and a control device section in the analysis system activates the signal-generating device. The signal-generating device transmits an audible test signal for inspecting the operating characteristics of the signal-generating device. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the connection between an analysis apparatus and a test component magazine, work out a design for improvement in reliability of the connection, avoid disposal of electronic parts, and reduce costs by reusing the electronic parts. SOLUTION: An analysis system (300) having an analysis apparatus for determining an analyte in a body fluid and a test piece magazine(134) contains a group (120) of reusable components and a group (140) of disposable components, and components (132, 134) having no electronic elements can be disconnected from the group (120) at a disconnection point (302). Critical interfaces (150, 160) are assembled and tested during production of the apparatus. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of giving the information that blood glucose density measurement is needed to a user at each suitable time. SOLUTION: This glucose analyzer includes : a measuring device 6 for measuring the glucose density; a display device 4 for displaying the glucose density; a signal device 10 for generating a scheduled confirming signal; and a control and evaluating device 7 including a processor and a data memory 8 and used for deciding the scheduled confirming time for actuating the signal device 10. The data memory 8 stores an event and time data including events corresponding to prescribed various events which occur in the living of a user of the glucose analyzer and information on the occurrence time of the event. The confirmed schedule time is determined according to a confirmed schedule time deciding algorithm taking the events and time data over two or more days. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
A method is provided for controlling a display device of an electronic device. A data field may be displayed on the display device. An editing process may be executed that provides for editing of the data field displayed on the display device. The data field on the display device may be magnified relative to other portions of the display device when selected for editing according to the editing process.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the audible output of a piece of information by an audible signal generator, where the signal generator is arranged in an analysis system and the analysis system analyses a fluid sample using a test element, where analysis results are generated and are processed by a data processing unit, and where a control unit in the analysis system actuates the signal generator, so that the signal generator audibly outputs a piece of information, the signal generator sending an audible test signal in order to test the operability of the signal generator.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a test tape device comprising a housing (12) having a cassette compartment (22) for a replaceable tape cassette (14), a cassette door (20) which can be retained in a closed position and which allows access to the cassette compartment (22) through a housing opening (21) in an open position, a tip cover (24) which can be positioned in a first position covering a housing aperture (26) and a second position allowing access to a tip (16) of the tape cassette (14), wherein the tip cover (24) is moveable to a third position in which the cassette tip (16) is at least partially uncovered and the housing opening (21) is extended into the area of the cassette tip (16), and wherein the cassette door (20) is self-opening when moving the tip cover (24) to the third position.
Abstract:
A device is provided for determining blood glucose characteristics including a display configured for presenting a graphical representation of a plurality of measurements of blood glucose values, wherein the graphical representation comprises a trend indicator indicating an approximate value trend in the sensed blood glucose value over a recent series of measurements, based on graphical segments having different graphical styles assigned to different ranges of sensed blood glucose values to indicate a transition from a first range to a second range of sensed blood glucose values. An associated method for operating a device for determining blood glucose characteristics is also provided.
Abstract:
The method involves arranging an acoustic signal generator in an analysis system and performing analysis of a liquid sample by test units. The acoustic signal generator is controlled by a control unit of the analysis system so that the signal generator outputs an acoustic test signal in order to test functional efficiency of the signal generator. The test signal is output at starting of initial operation of the analysis system by the acoustic signal generator, where the generator acoustically codes information that is represented as number with digits. An independent claim is also included for an analysis system for analysis of a fluid sample by test units.
