THE GLUCODAY DIABETIC MONITORING DEVICE. INTRODUCTION The GlucoDay® Diabetic monitoring device is used to continuously monitor blood glucose level all day long. Patients using invasive self-monitoring devices assess blood glucose irregularly because of the associated pain and inability to carry out measurement at night while they are sleeping (Boland et al.‚ 2001; Maran et al.‚ 2002). Precise and accurate continuous monitoring of blood glucose level using the GlucoDay® device is however of immense

nonequilibrium nonthermal plasma discharge. A quartz coaxial DBD tube (ID: 6 mm‚ OD: 12 mm) at 400-mbar xenon-filled pressure has been used in the experiment. A unipolar pulselike voltage up to a −6-kV peak working at 30 kHz has been applied to the discharge electrodes for the generation of microdischarges. A single discharge is observed per applied voltage pulse. Visual images of the discharge and electrical waveform confirm the diffused-type discharges. The knowledge obtained by dynamic processes of DBDs in the

Abstract of SuperCapacitor Supercapacitor also known as electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC)‚electrochemical double layer capacitor‚ or ultracapacitors‚ is an electrochemical capacitor with relatively high energy density. Compared to conventional electrolytic capacitors the energy density is typically on the order of hundreds of times greater. In comparison with conventional batteries or fuel cells‚ EDLCs also have a much higher power density. In this article the use of super capacitors likes

pair of electrodes into the liquid and by introducing a potential difference between the electrodes. Like metallic conducting materials‚ electrolyte solutions follow Ohm’s law: R= U I (1) where R is the resistance (Ω‚ “ohms”)‚ U is the potential difference (V‚ “Volts”)‚ and I is the current (A‚ “Amperes”). Conductance G (S‚ Siemens or Ω−1 ) is then defined as reciprocal of the resistance: G= 1 R (2) Conductance of a given liquid sample decreases when the distance between the electrodes increases
