An analyte measurement system includes a processor connected to a biosensor providing analyte data corresponding to an analyte level of a fluid sample. A user interface provides a menu of functions to a user and successively receives a plurality of menu choices, which the processor records. A storage device holds data defining a first action criterion. The processor compares the menu choices to the first action criterion. When the stored menu choices satisfy the first action criterion, the processor can automatically add a first additional function to the menu of functions, or can automatically presents a reward token via the user interface. The system can also include a housing holding the user interface, the storage device, and the processor. Methods are also disclosed.

Analyte-measurement system recording user menu choices

A hand-held test meter includes an electrically and thermally insulating case ('ETIC') with an outwardly facing surface, a test meter electrical component ('TMEC') with a thermal contact portion disposed within the electrically-insulating case, and at least one thermal channel. The thermal channel includes a proximal contact portion with a proximal contact surface, a distal contact portion with a distal surface, and a channel portion connecting the proximal contact portion and the distal contact portion. The thermal channel is integrated with the ETIC such that the thermal channel extends through the ETIC from the outwardly facing surface and to the thermal contact portion of the TMEC. The extension is such that the proximal contact surface of the thermal channel is outside of the ETIC and the distal surface of the thermal channel is in contact with the thermal contact portion of the TMEC. The thermal channel is thermally conductive and electrically-insulating.

Hand-held test meter with integrated thermal channel

An analyte meter with a test strip port that detects an orientation of a test strip inserted therein. A control circuit of the test meter is configured to apply a first predetermined analyte measurement signal to a test strip electrode in response to detecting a first orientation of the test strip, and a second predetermined analyte measurement signal to the same, or a different, electrode in response to detecting a second orientation of the test strip.

Orientation independent meter

A device that uses a laser beam to access data stored on an optical disk is disclosed. The laser beam is confined in a thin film optical waveguide having electrodes mounted onto the surface of the waveguide. The electrodes are arranged to form a coarse adjustment section, which adjusts the beam's direction to coincide with the data track of the optical disk to be accesses, and an electro-optic focus, which focuses the beam onto the surface of the optical disk. The electrodes are selectivity supplied with voltages from a control circuit. When the electrodes are energized, the index of refraction of the waveguide is altered, causing the beam direction and focus to be adjusted so as to coincide with and become focused onto the data track. After reflection off the data track, the beam impinges upon an array of photodetectors. The photodetectors provide a feedback signal to the control circuit which is used to continually adjust the beam direction and focus as the optical disk is read.

Chair frame

A chair frame for supporting a seat and seat back in a novel manner. The material of the seat, such as fabric or leather, is supported by the frame in partial tension to avoid sagging and to allow independent torsional movement of the seat portions supporting each leg of the chair user. The chair frame geometry and the tensioned seat provide a flexible chair that provides a new seating experience that combines lounge and rocking chair type characteristics. Additionally, the chair frame can be provided as a one piece rigid frame or a stackable, foldable, or collapsible frame.
