| 20100125245 | Micro-Fluidic Dead-End Channel Structure For Pressure Measurement Within A Fluid Channel On The Basis Of The Change Of The Volume Of A Trapped Gas Bubble - A device for detecting pressure and/or temperature changes in a fluid-channel and method thereof are disclosed. The device includes a main duct with an inlet and an outlet, a branch ductwork with a first branch end branching off the main duct downwards the inlet and with a second branch end discharging into the main duct upwards the outlet, and at least one dead-end channel with a first end that branches off the branch ductwork and a second closed end. The dead-end channel is adapted to trap a gas bubble within the dead-end channel when the device is primed or filled with a liquid fluid, wherein the gas bubble changes its size or position if a change in pressure or temperature occurs in the device. | 05-20-2010 |
| 20100241077 | Cannula Assemblies And Ambulatory Infusion Systems With Pressure Sensors Made Of Stacked Coplanar Layers - Cannula assemblies with pressure sensors made of stacked coplanar layers and ambulatory infusion systems comprising the same are disclosed. The cannula assemblies include a hub and an infusion cannula. The hub includes a pressure sensor and a fluid channel fluidly coupled to the infusion cannula. The pressure sensor is formed from a stack of coplanar layers including a top layer, a base layer an electrode layer and a counter electrode layer. The fluid channel is positioned between the top layer and the base layer. The electrode layer is positioned between the top layer and the base layer and coupled to the fluid channel. The counter-electrode layer is positioned between the top layer and the electrode layer. A spacer layer having a through cut-out defining an electrode cavity is disposed between the top layer and the base layer such that the electrode layer extends across the electrode cavity. | 09-23-2010 |
| 20110066108 | MICRO-FLUIDIC CHAMBERS FOR USE IN LIQUID MEDICAMENT DELIVERY SYSTEMS - Micro-fluidic chambers for use in a liquid medicament delivery system, include a bottom substrate and a top cover, the top cover being spaced from the bottom substrate so as to define a height of the chamber, wherein, one or more walls or fillings are positioned in the chamber, the walls or fillings defining a fluid channel there between such that the fluid channel extends from an inlet of the chamber to an outlet of the chamber, wherein, each of the walls or fillings has a height less than the height of the chamber so as to define a fluid gap between a top surface of each wall or filling and the top cover; and wherein, the dimensions of the walls or fillings and the chamber are such that the fluid gap will be filled with liquid by capillary forces via the fluid channel when liquid is introduced into the fluid chamber | 03-17-2011 |
| 20120029333 | MODULAR INFUSION SET WITH AN INTEGRATED ELECTRICALLY POWERED FUNCTIONAL COMPONENT - An infusion set for administering a medicament delivered by an infusion pump which can be carried separately from the infusion set as well as an infusion system including the infusion set are disclosed. The infusion set can comprise a disposable part, a reusable part, and an electrically powered functional component. The disposable part can comprise a single lumen infusion cannula that projects from the underside and is the only skin piercing or penetrating element of the infusion set. The reusable part when in the interconnected state is fluidically isolated from the disposable part. The disposable part can comprise a feeding line which fluidically connects an upstream end of the first connector with a downstream end of a cannula to feed and deliver the medicament via the disposable part and bypass the reusable part. | 02-02-2012 |

| 20100196087 | METAL-TO-PLASTIC CONNECTION - A method for producing a connection between a metal surface and a plastic surface, in which a collar-shaped bead and a lateral surface with a shoulder-shaped ledge for the placement of the plastic surface are formed at least one edge at the metal surface, before the placement of the plastic surface a strip-like seal is introduced onto the ledge. The plastic surface is placed on the ledge of the lateral surface in such a way that a lateral surface of the plastic surface is lined up with the lateral surface of the metal surface in a butt-joint-like manner, and a form-fitting, elastically supported connection is created by forming between at least one part of the lateral surface of the metal surface and one part of the lateral surface of the plastic surface, so that a substantially seamless and substantially smooth transition between the metal surface and plastic surface is formed at the connection site on the top side of the metal surface and the plastic surface. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100196642 | SENSOR HOUSING - A method is provided for inserting a plastic body into an opening of a sensor housing, whereby the opening has a lateral surface with an edge, in that a collar-shaped bead is formed at the edge and a shoulder-shaped ledge at the lateral surface for the placement of the plastic body, before the placement of the plastic body a strip-like seal is introduced onto the ledge, the plastic body is placed on the ledge of the lateral surface in such a way that a lateral surface of the plastic body is lined up with the lateral surface of the sensor housing in a butt-joint-like manner, a form-fitting, elastically supported connection is created by means of forming between at least one part of the lateral surface of the sensor housing and one part of the lateral surface of the plastic body, so that a substantially seamless and substantially smooth transition between the sensor housing and the plastic body is formed at the connection site on the top side of the sensor housing and of the plastic body. | 08-05-2010 |
