Systems for applying a transcutaneous monitor to a person can include a telescoping assembly, a sensor, and a base with adhesive to couple the sensor to skin. The sensor can be located within the telescoping assembly while the base protrudes from a distal end of the system. The system can be configured to couple the sensor to the base by compressing the telescoping assembly.

A cable includes an electrical connector at one end and a sensor at the other end. The connector includes a terminal module having a plurality of contacts embedded within an insulator wherein each contact has a resilient contacting section exposed upon to an exterior in a first vertical direction, and a soldering section exposed in a second vertical direction to be connected to the corresponding wires of the cable and selectively further to a resistor. The sensor includes a case enclosing an LED (Light Emitting Diode) and a PD (Photo Diode both of which are respectively connected to the corresponding contacts respectively soldered to the corresponding wires.

A connector includes a base member and a contact connected to a connection object, a first surface of the base member making contact with a bottom surface of a sheet-like conductive member, the contact being fixed to the base member by a deformed portion of the projection in a state where a root portion of the projection is accommodated in a projection accommodating portion with the sheet-like conductive member being sandwiched therebetween, an inner peripheral surface of the projection accommodating portion making contact with a flexible conductor of the sheet-like conductive member, whereby the connection object is electrically connected to the flexible conductor via the contact.

An exemplary wearable sensor unit includes 1) a magnetometer comprising a vapor cell comprising an input window and containing an alkali metal, and a light source configured to output light that passes through the input window and into the vapor cell along a transit path, and 2) a temperature control circuit external to the vapor cell and configured to create a temperature gradient within the vapor cell, the temperature gradient configured to concentrate the alkali metal within the vapor cell away from the transit path of the light.

An implantable medical device includes an electrode and an insulative material secured to the electrode via an adhesive. The electrode includes a metal substrate and a metal coating. The metal substrate includes a connection segment and an active segment along a length of the metal substrate. The metal coating is disposed on an outer surface of the metal substrate along the connection segment and the active segment. The insulative material surrounds the connection segment of the metal substrate without surrounding the active segment, and the adhesive adheres to the metal coating on the connection segment.

A brush electrode includes an electrode base that is connectable to an external device that is configured to generate an electrical signal or receive an electrical signal. A plurality of strand electrodes extend outward from the electrode base. A distal end of each strand electrode is configured to contact a skin surface. The strand electrodes are configured to hold an electrolyte to facilitate ionic conduction of the electrical signal to or from the skin surface.

A body fluid analyte detection device, includes: a transmitter, provided with at least one first clamping part; a bottom shell, provided with a second clamping part corresponding to the first clamping part, the transmitter being assembled on the bottom shell by mutual snap fitting of the first clamping part and the second clamping part, the bottom shell including a fixing part and a force application part, and the fixing part being fixed and applying a force to the force application part in a direction to disable the bottom shell, so that the first clamping part and the second clamping part are separated from each other, and then the bottom shell and the transmitter are separated; a battery, used for supplying power to the transmitter; a sensor, used for detecting body fluid analyte parameter information and electrically connected to the transmitter to transmit a parameter signal.

Embodiments relate to an insertion device that includes: a plunger coupled with a lock collar. The insertion device houses contents including: a striker including self-locking striker snap arm(s) where the striker is kept from firing by a striker spring captured between the plunger and the striker when the insertion device is in a cocked position; a sensor assembly; and a needle carrier that holds a piercing member, the needle carrier captured between the striker and a needle carrier spring where a self-releasing snap(s) keeps the needle carrier cocked, where the plunger prevents the self-releasing snap(s) from repositioning and releasing the needle carrier. The striker fires the needle carrier such that the self-locking striker snap arm(s) are positioned to allow the striker to snap down. The needle carrier is then retracted when the user releases the plunger and the piercing member is encapsulated within the insertion device.

Systems and Methods for determining a physiological parameter are disclosed. The physiological sensing device can measure a physiological parameter, determine a mood based on the physiological parameter, and render one or more songs associated with the mood.

A portable terminal case having a skin condition-measuring function is disclosed. The case includes a battery case; a bumper case coupled to the battery case; a moisture measurement unit for receiving moisture level information in the skin of a user from a moisture measurement sensor; a contact detection unit for receiving information on the presence or absence of a contact between the bumper case and the skin from a contact detection sensor; an environment measurement unit for receiving surrounding environment information from an environment information measurement sensor; and a control unit for collecting the moisture content and the environment information from the moisture measurement unit and the environment measurement unit.
