20080215254 | Method for the Determination of the Concentration of a Non-Volatile Analyte - The invention relates to a method for the determination of the concentration of a non-volatile analyte in an aqueous sample medium, with the use of an optical sensor which contains a luminescent dye and is calibrated at the user site by means of a single-point-calibration. To enable the user to completely dispense with all calibration media a luminescence measurement value is obtained at the user site with the sensor in contact with the aqueous or bloodlike sample medium, which value is referenced to the relative characteristic obtained at the factory site and to a measured dry calibration value obtained at the user site, the concentration of the non-volatile analyte being deduced from these data. | 09-04-2008 |
20090004751 | Dry optical-chemical carbon-dioxide sensor - The present invention relates to a device for determining carbon dioxide in a gaseous or liquid sample, comprising: a polymer matrix and an indicator embedded in the polymer matrix, wherein the indicator comprises a pH-sensitive dye and a lipophilic, metal cation-ionophore complex, and wherein an anion of the pH-sensitive dye and the metal cation-ionophore complex form an ion-pair which is soluble in the polymer matrix. | 01-01-2009 |
20090156966 | MODULAR SENSOR CASSETTE - The invention concerns a sensor cassette that can be inserted into an analyzer comprising a continuous measuring channel for receiving fluidic media and sensory elements for determining chemical and/or physical parameters of the fluidic media. According to the invention the sensor cassette consists of at least two permanently connected but separately manufactured modules which each have a housing and a measuring channel section wherein the measuring channel sections of adjacent modules are connected to the continuous measuring channel by a fluidic coupling and wherein at least one of the connected modules is designed as a sensor module and has a sensor array comprising at least two sensory elements. Furthermore, a memory element is allocated to the sensor cassette on which specific information for the sensor cassette in particular with regard to its construction from the respective modules is stored. | 06-18-2009 |
20100271213 | Process and Device for Determining Recommendations for Active Ingredient Dosages on the Basis of Series of Measurements of at Least One Physiological Parameter of a Patient - A process comprises performing a series of measurements of at least one physiological parameter, in particular a blood value, such as, e.g., blood sugar, on a patient, wherein samples are taken from the patient at discrete measuring times, with the measurements being performed on those samples. A recommendation for a dosage of an active ingredient to be administered to the patient until the next measuring time is determined from the measurements, for which purpose a dosage proposal algorithm incorporating the at least one measured physiological parameter is applied. As a result, it is possible to adjust at least one physiological parameter of the patient to a target range or keep it in the target range, respectively. The dosage proposal algorithm is configured such that the next measuring time is determined in consideration of measurement exclusion time windows and is optionally reported to the person in charge. | 10-28-2010 |

20120244493 | SCREW SYRINGE AS WELL AS A SYRINGE BARREL AND FEMALE PART FOR A SCREW SYRINGE - Screw syringe comprising a piston spindle with an external thread, a syringe barrel, comprising a sleeve with a piston end, and a female part with an internal thread. The female part slides in a radial sliding direction onto the piston end. The female part has a flange that creates a form fit with a counter-surface at the piston end so axial displacement of the female part in relation to the syringe barrel in the discharge direction is prevented. The female part has retaining surfaces, which create a form fit with counter-retaining surfaces of the piston end so that an axial displacement of the female part in relation to the syringe barrel counter to the discharge direction is prevented. The retaining surfaces and counter-retaining surfaces create a form fit so that a radial relative movement between the retaining surfaces and the counter-retaining surfaces, directed perpendicularly to the sliding direction, is prevented. | 09-27-2012 |
20120258422 | MIXING AND APPLICATION CAPSULE FOR PRODUCING A DENTAL PREPARATION - A mixing and application capsule for producing a dental preparation is described. The mixing and application capsule can have a capsule body with a mixing space for receiving a mixture component and for mixing the dental preparation from the mixture component and a fluid and with an outlet orifice for expelling the dental preparation, a cavity for receiving the fluid, a piston body that is movable in the capsule body, and delimits the mixing space in the capsule body and has a channel for conveying the fluid from the cavity into the mixing space. The piston body includes wholly or partly of two or a plurality of dissimilar materials, comprising at least one soft component and at least one hard component | 10-11-2012 |
20130065196 | SYRINGE AND METHOD FOR DOSED DISPENSING OF MATERIALS - A syringe for dosed dispensing of material, in particular of free-flowing and/or pasty dental material, includes a sleeve for accommodating material and a piston inserted into the sleeve defining an inner sleeve chamber and which has a piston member, a frictional engagement element which abuts an inner wall of the sleeve, and an elastic element coupling the frictional engagement element and the piston member, wherein the elastic element can be tensioned, on insertion of the piston and/or of the piston member into the sleeve, by means of a relative lag of the frictional engagement element in relation to the piston member, wherein by relaxing the elastic element it is possible for the piston member to be expelled at least partially from the sleeve while the frictional engagement element remains motionless, to increase the volume of the inner sleeve chamber. | 03-14-2013 |
