A fastener for securing a medical or surgical line with respect to a patient, the fastener comprising: an elongate braided tubular sleeve for receiving the line therethrough, the sleeve having a variable length and being capable when lengthened of gripping the line, an attachment arrangement for attaching the sleeve to the patient, and a sensor mounted to the fastener, the sensor being arranged to sense at least one of a physiological parameter of the patient and a parameter in relation to the line.

There are provided a sensor device and a sensor system that consume less power, can be miniaturized, and are excellent in productivity. The sensor device has: a unit 1 having at least one type of power supply portion 13 selected from a power generation portion and a wireless power supply portion, a sensor portion 11 that detects target information and outputs a signal, a logic portion 12 that performs determination based on the signal, and a wireless communication portion 14 that transmits a result of the determination to the outside; and a sealing material that covers at least a part of the outer periphery of the unit 1. The unit 1 has the respective portions on one semiconductor substrate surface, and the respective portions are electrically connected to each other. Alternatively, the respective portions are formed on a plurality of semiconductor substrates, the semiconductor substrates on which the respective portions are formed are laminated, and the respective portions are electrically connected to each other. The sensor system includes the sensor device described above and a communication device.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide code readers for reading codes provided as patterns imprinted on objects. Light interacts with a pattern by e.g. being reflected from or transmitted through the pattern, and at least some of the light that has interacted with the pattern is incident on photosensitive element(s) of one or more photodetectors of a code reader. The code reader employs centroid-measuring photodetector(s), i.e. photodetectors that detect light in such a manner that centroid of a pattern can be obtained directly from the photocurrents generated as a result of the photosensitive elements detecting light incident thereon. The code reader is then configured to process the detected light to determine a centroid of the pattern from the detected light and to decode data encoded in the pattern based on a position of the centroid. Such code readers are substantially less complex than camera-based devices and avoid mechanical scanning.

The present invention is provided a biological infection detection method, which includes the steps (a) is providing a screening kit with an identification code and a detection area; step (b) is binding an identity of a screened person and the identification code, wherein the identification code is binding the identity is defined as an associated identification code; step (c) is setting a biological sample of the screened person in the detection area; step (d) is generating a test result of the detected biological sample in the detection area; step (e) is to compare the associated identification code to ensure the test result belong to the screened person; and step (f), based on the test result, to determine whether the biological sample belongs to a first state, a second state, or an undeterminable state. The invention also provides a biological infection detection and personnel control method and biological infection response system.
