Title: Innovations by Thomas Schulte
Introduction
Thomas Schulte is an accomplished inventor based in Redmond, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of analyte detection through his innovative patents. With a total of two patents to his name, Schulte's work focuses on enhancing fluid sampling devices and penetration sensing technologies.
Latest Patents
Schulte's latest patents include a "Method and apparatus for a fluid sampling device." This invention provides methods and apparatus for manufacturing an analyte detecting device. In one embodiment, the apparatus comprises a housing, a penetrating member driver, a cartridge containing a plurality of penetrating members, a display on the cartridge, a linear slider on the housing, and a rod that moves with the slider. The device utilizes the linear motion of the slider to rotate the cartridge, punch open a new cavity, and load a new penetrating member.
Another notable patent is the "Apparatus and method for penetration with a shaft having a sensor for sensing penetration depth." This apparatus features a shaft that can sense the depth of penetration into an object, where the substrate being penetrated has impedance that varies according to the depth under its surface. The shaft includes a tip for penetration and conductive ends near the tip. A change in impedance of the material between the conductive ends can be sensed to provide information on the depth of penetration. An external processor can gather and process this impedance information to determine if the desired depth has been achieved.
