A device and method for delivering a device such as a sensor or fluid transport structure or a fluid transport structure sensor combination into, for example, mammalian skin. Such a device allows a sensor to penetrate mammalian skin without the use of an introducer device such as a needle. A device in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure includes a housing for attachment to mammalian skin including an exit port for receiving the distal end of a biosensor and an injection activation device including a mechanism for forcing the sensing device from a first position within the housing, through the exit port to a second position, with sufficiently high velocity to partially penetrate the mammalian skin.

Method and apparatus for insertion of a sensor

The prior art packaging of microelectric wires that have had insulation stripped from at least one end to permit the wires to be used in an electric circuit has applied adhesive to the backs of the paddleboards to which the microelectric wires are connected for testing. The adhesive is objectionable because residues of adhesive remain on the paddleboards and interferes with subsequent operations. The package of this invention eliminates adhesive on the paddleboards by forming the bottom layer of the paddleboards with frangible ligaments that are connected to a transversely extending spine. A base supports the paddleboards and spine, and it is the spine, not the paddleboards, that is connected to the underlying base. Each paddleboard can be removed from the spine and from the package by breaking the frangible ligament connecting that paddleboard to the spine. In one embodiment of the invention, each paddleboard is mounted in a recessed tray wherein a group of projections rise within the recessed body of the tray to the top of the tray. The spine has a corresponding group of openings therethrough which register with the projections in a first tray when a group of paddleboards is assembled within said first tray. The projections within said first tray penetrate the openings in the spine of the paddleboards within said first tray and extend into engagement with a second tray on top of said first tray.

An electrical arc system for ablating a portion of a surface coating from an electrically conductive wire along a selected cut-off line within a tolerance on the order of 0.001 of an inch. The arc is generated by electrodes insulated from each other inwardly beyond the selected cut-off line and arranged obliquely to the cut-off line and to the axis of the coated wire.
