技术领域
本公开总体上涉及传感器,并且更明确地涉及如连续分析物传感器等分析物传感器。
背景技术
糖尿病是一种病症,其中胰腺无法产生足够的胰岛素(I型或胰岛素依赖型)和/或胰岛素无效(2型或非胰岛素依赖型)。在糖尿病状态下,患者受高血糖困扰,所述高血糖可能引起与小血管恶化相关的一系列生理紊乱,例如,肾衰竭、皮肤溃疡或眼睛玻璃体出血。由于无意中过量使用胰岛素,或在使用正常剂量的胰岛素或降糖剂时伴有大量运动或食物摄入不足,可能诱发低血糖反应(低血糖)。
常规地,糖尿病患者带有自监测血糖(SMBG)监测器,所述SMBG监测器通常需要不舒服的手指刺破方法。由于缺乏舒适性和便利性,糖尿病患者通常每天仅测量其葡萄糖水平两次到四次。不利的是,这类时间间隔相隔太久以致于糖尿病患者发现高血糖或低血糖病状时可能为时已晚,有时招致危险的副作用。可替代地,可以通过包含皮肤上传感器组合件的传感器系统持续监测葡萄糖水平。传感器系统可以具有无线发射器,所述无线发射器将测量数据发送到接收器,所述接收器可以基于测量而处理和显示信息。

在图2所描绘的实例中,通过传感器数据的第一输入端口211,恒电位仪210耦接到分析物传感器138(如葡萄糖传感器),以从分析物生成传感器数据。恒电位仪210可以耦接到形成传感器138的一部分的工作电极211和参考电极212。恒电位仪可以向分析物传感器138的电极211、212之一提供电压,以将用于测量指示宿主体内的分析物浓度的值(例如,电流)的传感器(也称为传感器的模拟部分)偏压。恒电位仪210可以取决于并入到分析物传感器138中的电极(如作为第三电极的反电极)的数量而具有到传感器138的一个或多个连接。
在一些示例实施方案中,恒电位仪210可以包含将来自传感器138的电流值转化为电压值的电阻器,而在一些实施示例实施方案中,电流/频率转换器(未示出)还可以被配置成使用例如电荷计数装置而将来自传感器138的所测量的电流值连续积分。在一些示例实施方案中,模/数转换器(未示出)可以将来自传感器138的模拟信号数字化成所谓的“计数”,以允许由处理器模块214处理。所得的计数可以与恒电位仪210所测量的电流直接相关,所述恒电位仪可以与宿主体内的分析物水平(如葡萄糖水平)直接相关。

在一些分析物传感器系统中,传感器电子装置的皮肤上部分可以简化,以将皮肤上电子装置的复杂性和/或大小最小化,例如,仅向被配置成运行校准和显示传感器数据所需的其它算法的显示装置提供原始的、经校准的和/或经筛选的数据。然而,传感器电子装置112(例如,通过处理器模块214)可以被实施成执行用于生成经变换传感器数据和/或可显示传感器信息的预期算法,例如包含进行以下的算法:评估参考和/或传感器数据的临床可接受性,基于入选准则而评估校准数据以进行最佳校准,评估校准的质量,比较所估计的分析物值与时间对应所测量分析物值,分析所估计的分析物值的变化,评估传感器和/或传感器数据的稳定性,检测信号伪像(噪声),替换信号伪像,确定传感器数据的改变速率和/或趋势,执行动态且智能的分析物值估计,对传感器和/或传感器数据执行诊断,设置操作模式,评估数据的异常等。
图3A、3B和3C展示了实施为可穿戴装置的分析物传感器系统101的示例性实施方案,如皮肤上传感器组合件600。如图3所示,皮肤上传感器组合件包括壳体128。粘合片126可以将壳体128耦接到宿主的皮肤。粘合剂126可以是接合到载体衬底(例如,水刺聚酯、聚氨酯膜或其它适当类型)以进行皮肤附接的压敏粘合剂(例如,丙烯酸系类型、基于橡胶的类型或其它适当类型)。壳体128可以包含贯穿孔180,所述贯穿孔与用于将传感器138植入在对象的皮肤之下的传感器插入装置(未示出)合作。
可穿戴传感器组合件600可以包含可操作以测量和/或分析由葡萄糖传感器138感测的葡萄糖指示符的传感器电子装置112。传感器组合件600内的传感器电子装置112可以将信息(例如,测量数据、分析数据和葡萄糖数据)发射到远程设备(例如,图1所示的114、116、118、120)。如图3C所示,在此实施方案中,传感器138从其远端延伸到贯穿孔180,并被引导到壳体128内的电子模块135。工作电极211和参考电极212连接到包含恒电位仪的电子模块135中的电路。
图3D展示了分析物传感器138的一个示例性实施例,所述分析物传感器包含细长主体部分。细长主体部分可以又长又细,但柔软而坚固。例如,在一些实施例中,细长导电主体的最小尺寸小于约0.1英寸、0.075英寸、0.05英寸、0.025英寸、0.01英寸、0.004英寸或0.002英寸。虽然本文中将细长导电主体说明为具有圆形横截面,但在其它实施例中,细长导电主体的横截面可以是卵形、矩形、三角形或多面体、星形、C形、T形、X形、Y形、不规则形状等。
在图3D的实施方案中,分析物传感器138包括导线芯139。在传感器138的远端体内部分处,导线芯139形成电极211a。在传感器138的近端体外部分处,导线芯139形成触点211b。随着导线芯139沿着传感器138的细长主体部分延伸,电极211a和触点211b在所述导线芯的长度上电连通。导线芯可以由单一材料(如铂或钽)制成,或者可以形成为多层,如,导电材料或具有不同导电材料的外涂层的非导电材料。
层104围绕导线芯139的至少一部分。层104可以由绝缘材料形成,如,聚酰亚胺、聚氨酯、聚对二甲苯或任何其它已知的绝缘材料。例如,在一个实施例中,层104安置在导线芯139上,并被配置成使得电极211a通过窗口106暴露。
在一些实施例中,传感器138进一步包括如包括导电材料的套筒而围绕绝缘层104的层141。在传感器138的远端体内部分处,套筒层141形成电极212a。在传感器138的近端体外部分处,套筒层141形成触点212b。随着套筒层141沿着传感器138的细长主体部分延伸,电极212a和触点212b在所述套筒层的长度上电连通。此套筒层141可由涂覆到绝缘层104上的含银材料形成。含银材料可以包含各种材料中的任一种,并呈各种形式,如,Ag/AgCl聚合物膏、涂料、基于聚合物的导电混合物和/或市场上可购得的墨水。此层141可以使用粘贴/浸渍/涂覆步骤(例如,使用模具计量的浸涂过程)来处理。在一个示例性实施例中,Ag/AgCl聚合物膏通过以下方式而涂覆到细长主体:对主体浸涂(例如,使用弯月面涂覆技术),并且接着牵拉主体穿过模具,以将涂层计量到精确厚度。在一些实施例中,多个涂覆步骤用于将涂层累积到预定厚度。
图3D所示的传感器138还包含覆盖传感器138的远端体内部分的至少一部分的膜108。此膜通常由多个层形成,所述多个层可以包含干涉域、酶域、扩散阻力域和生物保护域中的一个或多个。此膜对于支持实现分析物检测的电化学过程重要,并且通常通过浸涂、喷涂或其它制造步骤来精心制造。优选地,从形成膜108之时到将传感器138的远端体内部分植入到对象中之时,传感器138的远端体内部分所经受的处置要尽可能少。在一些实施例中,电极211a形成电化学测量系统的工作电极,电极212a形成此系统的参考电极。在使用中,两个电极可以植入到宿主中,以便进行分析物监测。
虽然上文描述特别适用于同轴导线型结构,但本文中的实施例也适用于电极的其它物理配置。例如,两个电极211a和212a可以附连到平面衬底(如较薄的平坦聚合物柔性电路)的细长柔性条带的远端体内部分上。两个触点211b和212b可以附连到此柔性平面衬底的近端体外部分。电极211a、212a可以电连接到其在平面衬底上的相应触点211b、212b(电路迹线)。在这种情况下,电极211a、212a和触点211b、212b可以在平坦表面上彼此邻近,而不是如图3D所示那样是同轴的。
图3D还示出了触点211b和触点212b电耦接到简单的基于电流/电压转换器的恒电位仪210。恒电位仪包含电池320,所述电池的输出耦接到运算放大器322的输入。运算放大器322的输出耦接到触点324,所述触点通过电阻器328而电耦接到工作电极触点211b。放大器322将触点324偏压到电池电压Vb,并将驱动维持此偏压所需的电流im。此电流将从工作电极211a流经围绕传感器138的间质液并流向参考电极212a。参考电极触点212b电耦接到连接到电池320的另一侧的另一触点334。对于此电路来说,电流im等于(Vb-Vm)/R,其中Vm是放大器322的输出处测量的电压。针对工作电极211a上的给定偏压的此电流的大小是窗口106附近的分析物浓度的测度。
触点324和334通常是电路板上的导电垫/迹线。在测试期间,此板的表面上,始终有某一电平的寄生泄漏电流ip。如果可能,则由于分析物,泄漏电流不应形成电流的测量的一部分。为了减小此泄漏电流对所测量的电流的影响,可以在偏压触点324与直接连接到电池输出的返回触点334之间提供任选的额外垫/迹线336。此任选的额外导电垫/迹线可以称为“保护迹线”。因为它们保持在相同电位,所以偏压触点324和保护迹线336将基本上不会有泄漏电流。此外,保护迹线336到返回触点334的泄漏电流不会穿过放大器输出电阻器328,并且因此不会包含在测量中。保护迹线的其它方面和实施方案可以在美国专利公开2017/0281092的第[0128]和[0129]段中找到,这些段落通过引用并入本文中。
在制造过程期间,对传感器138执行各种涂覆、测试、校准和组装操作。然而,可能难以运输个别传感器并将传感器与多个测试和校准设备设施电介接。这些过程还会使传感器因处置而受到损坏。为了帮助解决这些问题,传感器138可以作为预连接传感器的一部分提供,所述预连接传感器包含下文更详细描述的传感器载体。

在图4B的实例中,传感器载体402包含中间体,如衬底404,并且还包含一个或多个迹线,如第一迹线414和第二迹线416。第一迹线414可以包含第一内部触点406和第一外部触点410。第二迹线416可以包含第二内部触点408和第二外部触点412。在一些实施例中,第一内部触点406电耦接到传感器138的近端上的第一触点,并且第二内部触点408电耦接到传感器138的近端上的第二触点。传感器138的远端是被配置用于插入到宿主的皮肤中的自由端。结合本文中的各种实施例而描述电耦接器,如,夹、导电粘合剂、导电聚合物、导电墨水、金属箔、导电泡沫、导电织物、绕线、导线穿线或任何其它适当方法。在一些实施例中,非导电粘合剂426(例如,环氧树脂、氰基丙烯酸酯、丙烯酸系材料、橡胶、氨酯、热熔胶等)可以用于将传感器138附接到衬底404。非导电粘合剂426可以被配置成对传感器138进行附连、密封、绝缘或将应变消除提供给所述传感器。传感器138可以通过其它方法(如上文图4A所述的方法)而附接到衬底404。
如图4C所示,压敏粘合剂428可以被配置成隔离迹线414和416的暴露端。例如,压敏粘合剂428可以将传感器138层压在衬底404与盖460之间。在这类情况下,传感器138、衬底404、压敏粘合剂428和盖460可以形成层压配置。在层压配置中,传感器138和其到一个或多个触点(例如,第一内部触点406和第二内部触点408)的连接与一个或多个暴露触点(例如,第一外部触点410和第二外部触点412)隔离。此外,层压配置可以产生围绕传感器138的湿气密封区域。湿气密封可以如由压敏粘合剂428和非导电粘合剂426的组合所体现而产生。在其它实施例中,层压结构可以通过以下材料和方法中的一种或组合产生:非导电粘合剂、压敏粘合带、弹性体、热接合、热板焊接、激光焊接、超声焊接、RF焊接或任何适当类型的层压方法。盖460可以由至少部分覆盖衬底404的聚合物片、结构或膜组成。盖460可以任选地含有可以标识传感器138的标识符450。在一些实施例中,标识符450可以并有各种标识协议或技术,如但不限于NFC、RFID、QR码、条码、Wi-Fi、可调电阻器、电容值、阻抗值、ROM、存储器、IC、闪存等。
作为任选组件的导引固定装置420是与工作站(如测试站、校准站、组装站、涂覆站、制造站)的接口的示例性实施例,或作为可穿戴组合件的一部分。导引固定装置420包含基准特征(或基准结构)430,如凹部、开口、表面或凸出部,以用于将传感器138相对于传感器载体402对齐、定位和定向。基准特征430可以用于制造过程中,并用于组装到可穿戴电子组件中。在一些实施例中,基准特征430是被配置成与衬底404的对应基准特征432对齐的升高凸出部。衬底404的对应基准特征432可以将切口、狭槽、孔或凹部作为特征。传感器载体中的对应基准特征432可以是与工作站(如测试站、校准站、组装站、涂覆站或其它制造站)中的基准特征430介接的放置特征。导引固定装置420可以被配置成确保传感器载体402的适当放置,以使暴露的外部触点410和412对齐,以用于连接到工作站(如测试站、校准站、组装站、涂覆站或其它制造站)。在其它实施例中,基准特征430可以由阴型特征组成以与对应阳型基准特征432接合。
图4D展示了预连接分析物传感器400的阵列480的示意图,所述阵列具有带有任选标识符450的多个预连接传感器400。在图4D中,示出了作为预连接分析物传感器400的一维条带形成的阵列,但也可以植入二维阵列。在一些实施例中,预连接分析物传感器阵列480可以安置在盒中。所述多个预连接传感器400中的每个预连接传感器都可以被单切。在一些实施例中,可以设置刻痕4020以促进单切为个别预连接传感器400。在一些实施例中,阵列480可以用于促进按顺序或随机方式个别地制造、测试和/或校准多个传感器138。在一些实施例中,阵列480可以用于促进同时制造、测试和/或校准多个传感器138。
图5A-5E示出了预连接分析物传感器400可以在植入前寿命期间与之相关联的各种机器和组合件的框图。这类机器和组合件可以包含制造设备,例如,一个或多个制造站5091、一个或多个测试站5002和/或一个或多个校准站5004以及皮肤上可穿戴组合件600。这些中的至少一些被配置成收纳传感器载体402,并通过传感器载体402而将机器和组合件通信耦接到传感器138。
一些实施例的一个方面是在附图上述膜108之前,传感器138耦接到传感器载体402。在传感器138附接到传感器载体的情况下,并可能多个载体安装的传感器如图4D所示附接在一起的情况下,随后的装置生产步骤(如膜涂覆、测试、校准和组装成可穿戴单元)可以在以下情况下得以执行:较容易安装到制造和测试设备和从其拆卸,较少的传感器处置,较低的损坏膜的机会,从而产生总体上明显的生产效率的提高。
预连接传感器构造的另一益处是,较容易在不同的设施之间分离不同种类的制造和测试设备,这些设施被较好地装备以处置这些设备。例如,制造电极可能需要各种种类的金属成形/挤压机,而膜涂覆、测试和校准则需要潮湿的化学实验室和灵敏的电子测试设备。因此,传感器电极可以在一个位置的设施中形成并安装在载体上,并且接着运送到不同远程设施,所述远程设施被配置用于膜涂覆、测试和校准。在此上下文中,远程不意味着位于同一建筑中的同一生产设施中。对于不同的商业实体来说,执行专门从事适当的制造和测试技术的不同任务可能甚至是有利的。
制造站5091可以包括如本文所述的测试站、如本文所述的校准站或另一制造站。制造站5091可以包含处理电路系统5092和/或机械组件5094,所述处理电路系统和/或机械组件可操作以执行测试操作、校准操作和/或其它制造操作,例如,传感器校直操作、膜涂覆操作、固化操作、校准检查操作、葡萄糖灵敏度操作(例如,灵敏度斜率、基线和/或噪声校准操作)和/或视觉检验操作。
预连接分析物传感器400可以连接到一个或多个测试站5002,所述测试站具有被配置成通过传感器138来执行测试操作以验证传感器138的操作完整性的处理电路系统5012。测试操作可以包含验证传感器138的电气性能,验证工作电极与触点408之间的通信,验证参考电极或额外电极与触点406之间的通信和/或传感器138的其它电子验证操作。处理电路系统5012可以通过以下方式与传感器138通信耦接来进行测试操作:将衬底404插入到插座5006(例如,测试站5002的壳体中的凹部)中,直到触点410耦接到测试站5002的触点5010并且触点412耦接到测试站5002的触点5008为止。
系统5000可以包含一个或多个校准站5004,所述校准站具有被配置成通过传感器138来执行校准操作以获得传感器138的体内操作的校准数据的处理电路系统5020。由校准设备5004获得的校准数据可以提供给皮肤上传感器组合件600,以在传感器138的体内操作期间使用。处理电路系统5020可以通过以下方式与传感器138通信耦接来进行校准操作:将衬底404插入到插座5014(例如,校准站5004的壳体中的凹部)中,直到触点410耦接到测试站5002的触点5018并且触点412耦接到测试站5002的触点5016为止。
在图5A-5E的实例中,测试站5002和校准站5004包含插座5006和5014。然而,这仅是说明性的,并且传感器载体402可以使用其它安装特征(如抓握、剪裁或夹紧特征)而安装到测试站5002、校准站5004和/或制造站5091。例如,制造站5091包含抓握结构5093和5095,其中至少一个抓握结构可移动以抓握传感器载体402(或具有多个传感器载体和传感器的载体)。结构5093可以是具有一个或多个电触点(如触点5008)的固定结构。结构5095可以是可移动的特征,所述可移动的特征移动(例如,在方向5097上滑动)以在制造站5091的电耦接位置中抓住并固定传感器载体402。在其它实施方案中,特征5093与5095两者是可移动的。
传感器载体402还可以包含标识符450(参见例如图4A-4D)。标识符450可以形成在衬底404上或嵌入在其中。标识符450可以实施为视觉或光学标识符(例如,在衬底404上预先打印或实时打印或蚀刻到衬底404中的条码或QR码)、射频(RF)标识符或电标识符(例如,可在测试和校准之前、期间或之后用标识符和/或其它数据编程的激光可调电阻器、电容标识符、电感标识符或微存储电路(例如,标识符被编码在标识符的存储器中的集成电路或其它电路))。标识符450可以用于在每个传感器的整个制造过程中跟踪此传感器(例如,通过存储每个传感器的测试和/或校准数据的历史)。换句话说,标识符450标识分析物传感器、分析物传感器的校准数据和分析物传感器的历史中的任一个。例如,标识符450可以用于测试和校准性能数据的分箱。标识符450可以是离散的原始值,或者可以除标识号之外对信息进行编码。标识符450可以用于将数据以数字方式存储在衬底404上的非易失性存储器中或作为用于在传感器载体402外部存储数据的参考数字来存储。
测试站5002可以包含读取标识符450以获得传感器138的唯一标识符的阅读器5011(例如,光学传感器、RF传感器或电接口,如集成电路接口)。由测试站5002获得的测试数据可以与传感器138的标识符一起存储和/或发射。

虽然图5A-5E示出了一个校准站和一个测试站,但应了解,一个以上测试站和/或一个以上校准站可以用于生产的制造和测试阶段中。虽然校准站5004和测试站5002在图5A-5E中被示出为不同站,但应了解,在一些实施方案中,校准站和测试站可以组合为一个或多个校准/测试站(例如,用于执行测试和校准操作的处理电路系统设置在共同壳体内并耦接到单个接口5006的站)。
可穿戴组合件600还可以包含读取标识符450以获得传感器138的唯一标识符的读取器(例如,光学传感器、RF传感器或电接口),所述读取器被定位成接近触点5022。传感器电子装置可以基于所读取的标识符450而获得传感器138的体内操作的校准数据。校准数据可以存储在标识符450自身中并从其获得,或者标识符450可以用于从远程系统(如基于云的系统)获得所安装的传感器138的校准数据。
图6-8是可穿戴组合件600内的预连接传感器400的固定的各种实施方案的示意图。在图6的实例中,传感器载体402与基壁605和壳体128直接接触,并且触点5022包含壳体128上的多个触点,所述触点用于接触传感器载体402的两个触点410与412(例如,两者位于传感器载体402的顶表面上)两者。在图7的实例中,机械收纳器700设置在基壁605上以用于机械固定传感器载体402。在图8的实例中,机械收纳器800设置在基壁605上以用于与接收器702合作而机械固定传感器载体402。在图8的实例中,接收器702包含用于接触位于传感器载体402的后表面上的传感器载体的触点410的额外触点704。

至少三个、至少四个和/或少于十个凸出部308可以被配置成接触弹簧306的周边。凸出部308可以由间隙分离。随着弹簧306插入在凸出部308之间,间隙使凸出部308能够向外挠曲。用于将电子装置单元500耦接到基座128的向下的力可以推动弹簧306而靠到传感器138上,以使弹簧306电耦接到传感器138。传感器138可以在凸出部308中的至少两个之间行进。测试站5002和/或校准站5004也可具有配合连接器结构,当衬底404插入到凹部5006或5014中时,所述配合连接器结构压缩弹簧306以将弹簧306电耦接在传感器138和处理电路系统5012或5020之间。
传感器138可以包含被配置用于皮下感测的远端部分138a和机械耦接到传感器载体402的近端部分138b,具有机械耦接到衬底404并电耦接到近端部分138b的电互连(例如,弹簧306)。弹簧306可以是圆锥弹簧、螺旋弹簧或本文所述或适用于电连接的任何其它类型的弹簧。
衬底404可以具有基座部分312,所述基座部分包含位于弹簧306周围的至少两个近端凸出部308。近端突出308被配置成帮助将弹簧306定向。葡萄糖传感器138的区段位于近端凸出部308(在弹簧306远端)之间。

如图11和12所示,基座部分312d包含近端凸出部320d,所述近端凸出部具有近端部分138b的至少一部分位于其中的通道322d。通道322d定位近端部分138b的第一区域,使得所述区域电耦接到片弹簧306d。

图13C示出了可穿戴组合件600的分解图。各种电子组件(如图2所示的恒电位仪210和其它组件)可以安装在电子组合件衬底530(通常是某种形式的印刷电路板)上或安装到所述电子组合件衬底。预期传感器载体402具有与电子组合件衬底530的电耦接。各种方法可以用于在预连接传感器400的一个或多个触点(如外部触点410和412)与电子组合件衬底530之间建立电连接(例如,销、焊料、导电弹性体、导电粘合剂等)。传感器载体402可以被配置成通过底部壳体522而与电子组合件衬底530介接。在其它实施方案中,传感器载体402可以被配置成通过顶部壳体520而与电子组合件衬底530介接。在一些其它实施方案中,传感器载体402被配置成通过可穿戴组合件600的侧面而与电子组合件衬底530介接。如图所示,任选的密封构件528可以被配置成使传感器载体402的至少一部分绝缘而免受潜在的湿气侵入。在一些情况下,密封构件528可以是所分配的液体(例如,粘合剂、凝胶)或固体材料(例如,弹性体、聚合物)。密封构件528可以是焊接(例如,激光或超声波、热板)或以其它方式永久附接(例如,各向异性膜、压敏粘合剂、氰基丙烯酸酯、环氧树脂或其它适当粘合剂)以产生密封区域的所组装的组件。密封构件528可以用于将传感器载体402物理耦接到可穿戴组合件600,和/或提供所述传感器载体与所述可穿戴组合件的密封区域。
图14A-14E展示了可穿戴组合件600的另一实施方案。图14A-14E的实施方案类似于图13A-13C所示的实施方案。如图14A所示,可穿戴组合件600包含作为顶部壳体520和底部壳体522形成的壳体。可穿戴组合件还包含用于在将传感器138间隙插入到对象体内期间使用的贯穿孔524。特别参照图14B、C和D,底部壳体522包含具有底板704的凹部726。底板704可以包含从底板704向上延伸的定位销784和786以及两个孔隙722和724。定位销可以在例如壳体的模制期间形成为底板704的整体部分,或者它们可以是利用摩擦配合、粘合剂或者任何其它手段耦接到底板的单独的部分。在一些实施例中,存在至少一个定位销。在一些实施例中,存在至少两个定位销。在一些实施例中,存在至少三个定位销。在底板704的相对侧上的是印刷电路板530(在图14E中可见),其上安装有传感器电子电路系统(例如,恒电位仪210或连接到恒电位仪的至少迹线)中的一些或全部。印刷电路板530上还可以安装有导电销712和714,所述导电销延伸穿过底板704中的孔隙722和724,从而形成可在无需打开壳体的情况下接近的外部电接口。预连接传感器400落入此凹部726中。孔794和孔796落在定位销784和786上,并且导电销712和714延伸穿过传感器载体衬底404中的孔706和708。类似于图4A到4C中的不同实施例所示,这些孔706和708延伸穿过衬底404上的电镀金属(例如,铜)触点406和触点408。一般来说,衬底404中的孔706、708的数量对应于传感器138中存在的电极的数量,而所述电极的数量反过来对应于销712、714的数量。例如,具有工作电极、参考电极和反电极的三电极系统可以在衬底中具有对应于向上延伸穿过底板704的三个销的三个孔。销712和714可以按各种方式(如焊料、型锻或导电凝胶、膏、粘合剂或膜)电连接到触点408和406。在作出此连接之后,用于检测和/或处理被放置在壳体内的分析物传感器信号的电子电路系统变得连接到分析物传感器,以从其接收信号。在图14D和14E中,将传感器138接合到传感器载体402的连接材料被表示为762和764。这些连接可以通过上文参照图4A所述的方法中的任一种来建立。
一旦衬底404被置于销712、714上,传感器138的近端部分便可以通过压敏粘合剂772而固定到底板704,以在插入器开口524处向下延伸之前将传感器的近端部分保持在壳体上或壳体附近。这实现准确传感器插入位置,并控制到插入针中的偏置力。各种方法和/或结构特征可以用于执行此保持功能,如底板704中的凸出部或搁板、包覆模制部分、在传感器上方安装的卡扣配合额外塑料件,或者在预连接传感器被置于凹部726中之前或之后放置的任何类型的凝胶或粘合剂。如图13C所示,任选的密封构件528a和528b可以被配置成使传感器载体402的至少一部分密封和绝缘而免受潜在的湿气侵入。在一些情况下,密封构件528可以是所分配的液体(例如,粘合剂、凝胶)或固体材料(例如,弹性体、聚合物)。密封构件528可以是焊接(例如,激光或超声波、热板)或以其它方式永久附接(例如,压敏粘合剂、氰基丙烯酸酯、环氧树脂或其它适当粘合剂)以产生密封区域的所组装的组件。密封构件528可以用于将传感器载体402物理耦接到可穿戴组合件600,和/或提供所述传感器载体与所述可穿戴组合件的密封区域。两个密封构件528a和528b由壁766和768部分分离。这些壁允许将两种不同密封方法用于由壁分离的凹部726的两个不同部分中。例如,528b可以是通过壁的一侧上的开口524而按压配合到凹部部分中的固体聚合物。凹部726的其余部分则可以用液体UV固化环氧树脂填充,所述液体UV固化环氧树脂硬化以形成密封构件528a。壁的每侧上的两个凹部部分的深度可以相同或不同。
图15A示出了传感器载体402的另一替代实施方案,所述传感器载体也可能采取印刷电路板的形式。在此实施方案中,如参照图3D中的项目336所述的保护迹线407设置在传感器载体402的衬底404上。如上文所解释,此保护迹线407定位在触点406与408之间,并由传感器电子装置连接到偏压电压。保护迹线407可以通过类似于销712和714而延伸穿过衬底704的一个或多个导电销713(图14A到14E中未示出)而耦接到传感器电子装置。在图15A中,销被示出为连接到衬底404的侧面上的塔状触点。绝缘层780(如焊料罩)可以定位在保护迹线407上方,以消除分析物传感器电极短路到保护迹线的风险。
图15B和15C展示了将安装有分析物传感器138的传感器载体402连接到可穿戴传感器内的电子电路系统的其它实施方案。在图15B中,传感器138如以上参照图14C和14D所示通过导电粘合剂762和764而耦接到传感器载体402。在传感器载体衬底的另一侧上的是导电接触垫812和814。电路板530还具有接合到所述电路板的接触垫826和828,所述接触垫可通过凹部726的底板704而接近。各向异性膜820用于将传感器载体触点812电接合并机械接合到电路板触点826,并且还将传感器载体触点814电接合并机械接合到电路板触点828。各向异性膜820通过热而被压缩在触点之间,这使膜820中的导电颗粒垂直地桥接触点对812/826与814/828之间的间隙。膜820中的导电颗粒水平间隔开,因此触点对之间不会出现短路。电接合和机械接合技术已广泛用于小型电子装置(如智能电话)的显示应用中,并且使之在生产环境中实现简单和一致的连接。
在图15C中,传感器138的近端区域通过各向异性膜820而耦接到传感器载体402的触点812和814。同一各向异性膜820的不同区域可以用于将传感器载体触点812和814分别连接到电路板触点826和828。在此实施方案中,将传感器138连接到触点812和814的膜820的区域可以水平邻近于将电路板触点826和828连接到传感器载体触点812和814的膜820的区域或者以其它方式与其分开。
在图10-15的实例中,预连接传感器400可以作为独立接口安装在传感器138与传感器电子装置之间。然而,应理解,在本文所述的一些实施方案中,预连接传感器400可以包含传感器载体,其连接到可穿戴组合件600内的传感器138与传感器电子装置之间的额外接口。例如,通道322d和片弹簧306d可以形成在单独的衬底上,所述单独的衬底在校准和测试操作之后在密封件192内机械附接到基座部分312d以安装到可穿戴组合件600中。
上述分析物传感器连接技术的一个益处是,预连接传感器400的制造可以与封闭在壳体内的电子装置的制造分开。如上文参考预连接传感器结构和随后的涂覆、测试和校准过程所述,内部含有电子装置的壳体可以在将预连接传感器400附接到传感器电接口的设施分开的设施中制造。这是通过提供可从壳体外部接近的分析物传感器电子接口而成为可能。不需要打开壳体来附接传感器。
在一些有利方法中,预连接传感器的电极在第一位置被制造和安装在衬底上,并且然后运送到第二位置以进行涂覆测试和校准。具有内部电子装置的壳体是在第三位置中制造的。具有电子装置的壳体从第三位置运送到第二位置,在所述第二位置处,完整的分析物传感器附接到外部电接口。这三个位置可以全部彼此相隔很远。这可以将灵敏的膜涂覆的传感器的处置最小化,但仍然允许单独制造整个装置的其它组件。
图16示出了传感器载体402的实施方案的俯视图,其中衬底404是基本上平面的衬底,并且传感器138通过导电粘合剂1500而附接到衬底404。如图16所示,导电粘合剂1500可以涂覆到传感器138的触点1000和1002,以将传感器138机械附接到衬底404。一旦被涂覆,触点1000和1002上的导电粘合剂1500可以自身形成触点408和406,以用于耦接到测试站5002、校准站5004和/或电子装置单元500。图17示出了图16的传感器载体402的侧视图,其中可见导电粘合剂1500覆盖传感器138在近端部分处的一部分。在其它实施例中,传感器138可以通过导电粘合剂1500或通过任何其它适当方法通过使用例如夹、导电聚合物、金属箔、导电泡沫、导电织物、绕线、导线穿线或通过任何其它适当方法而附接到衬底404。
图18、19和20示出了图16的衬底404的实例,所述衬底具有用于控制传感器138在衬底404上的位置和空间定向的额外基准特征。在图18的实例中,衬底404包含v形凹部1700。传感器138部分安置在凹部1700内,以使传感器138在沿着凹部的方向上定向,并且导电粘合剂1500基本上覆盖传感器138,并填充未由传感器138填充的凹部1700的部分,以将传感器138固定在凹部内。在图19的实例中,衬底404包含第一平面部分1800和相对于第一个平面部分以非平行(例如,垂直)角度延伸的第二平面部分1802,并且传感器138通过导电粘合剂1500附接在第一平面部分和第二平面部分的界面处。在图20的实例中,衬底404包含圆形凹部1900,其中传感器138由基本上覆盖传感器138并填充未由传感器138填充的凹部1700的部分以将传感器138固定在凹部内的导电粘合剂1500附接。
图21A和21B示出了示例传感器载体402,其中至少一对导引结构2106和2108形成在衬底404上,如在一个或两个触点406和408上。当施涂导电粘合剂以将传感器主体138等接合在一起时,这些导引结构可以帮助将所述传感器主体放置在适当位置上。这可以在制造期间在将传感器组装到传感器载体时消除对外部导引固定装置的需求。结构2106、2108可以由焊料或其它导电粘合剂制成。虽然图21A和21B中未示出,但可以在导引结构之间提供额外粘合接合材料,以便在制造期间将传感器固定到导引结构。
导电粘合剂1500可以是例如导电液体分配凝胶。导电液体分配凝胶可以是固化(例如,在室温下或高固化温度下)的单组分或双组分粘合剂。导电液体分配凝胶可以是快速固化粘合剂。双组分导电液体分配凝胶可以包含基础粘合剂(例如,环氧树脂、聚氨酯等)和导电填料(例如,银、碳、镍等)。导电粘合剂1500可以包含例如具有一种或多种嵌入导电材料(如银、铜或石墨)的粘合树脂。导电粘合剂1500可以是热固化导电粘合剂。
图22示出了传感器载体402的实施方案的俯视图,其中衬底404是基本上平面的衬底,并且传感器138通过导电胶带2000而附接到衬底404。如图22所示,导电胶带2000可以涂覆到传感器138的一个或多个触点(例如,连接区域1000和1002),以将传感器138机械附接到衬底404。一旦被涂覆,触点1000和1002上的导电胶带2000可以自身形成触点408和406,以用于耦接到测试站5002、校准站5004和/或电子装置单元500。如图22所示,胶带200可以涂覆在传感器138上方,或者可以介入在衬底404与传感器138之间。在胶带2000被安置在衬底404与传感器138之间的实施方案中,衬底404可以是可以如图23的端视图所示在传感器138周围卷曲或折叠的柔性衬底。图23的卷曲衬底包含可以形成一个或多个触点(例如,406或408)的延伸部分2100。
导电胶带2000可以被配置成用作具有一个或多个导电胶带2000和非导电胶带区域的多区胶带。导电区域和非导电区域的组合可以用于电隔离连接区域。使用多区胶带可以在单个组装步骤中简化多个连接区域的组装。胶带上的导电区域的间距可以与传感器导线138的目标连接区域匹配。在其它实施例中,胶带的导电区域的间距明显小于传感器导线138的目标连接区域的间隔。较短间距可以实现胶带放置的较大可变性,同时确保传感器138与衬底404之间的隔离连接。导电胶带2000可以由聚合物衬底与导电粘合剂(如碳浸渍粘合剂、金属浸渍粘合剂)形成。作为另一实例,导电胶带2000可以是具有导电和非导电粘合剂的金属衬底。非导电衬底的一些实例是聚酰亚胺、复合物、聚合物等。导电衬底的一些实例是金属(例如,箔片、电镀、包层等)、导电聚合物和导电弹性体。非导电粘合剂的实例是环氧树脂、氰基丙烯酸酯、丙烯酸系材料、橡胶、氨酯、热熔胶等。导电粘合剂的实例是碳填充粘合剂、纳米颗粒填充粘合剂、金属填充粘合剂(例如,银)、导电墨水等。
图24示出了传感器载体402的实施方案的俯视图,其中衬底404是基本上平面的衬底,并且传感器138通过焊接或接合到非导电(例如,塑料)衬底404的导电塑料2200而附接到衬底404。如图24所示,导电塑料2200可以涂覆到传感器138的触点1000和1002,以将传感器138机械附接到衬底404。一旦被涂覆,触点1000和1002上的导电塑料2200可以自身形成触点408和406,以用于耦接到测试站5002、校准站5004和/或电子装置单元500。
图25和26示出了用于将导电塑料2200焊接到衬底404的示例性超声波焊接系统。如图25所示,衬底404可以具备凹部,导电塑料构件2200上的凸出部可以被收纳在所述凹部中。传感器138可以安置在导电塑料构件2200上的凸出部中的凹部内,并且导电塑料构件2200可以在方向2302上被按压并且通过超声波焊头2300振动以形成熔化区域2400,当移除焊头2300时,所述熔化区域凝固以将传感器138固定在衬底404与导电塑料2200之间,以形成到传感器138的导电触点。
在一些实施方案中,为了向传感器138提供用于将触点夹到或锡焊到衬底404的额外表面区域,传感器138的近端可以被卷曲或以其它方式平坦化,如图27所示。如图27所示,触点1000F和1002F可以是会聚到圆柱形导线传感器138中的扁平触点。如图28中的传感器载体402的侧视图所示,扁平触点1000F和1002F可以通过导电附接构件2600和2602(如夹、焊料、各向异性导电膜、导电胶带、具有嵌入的导体的塑料构件、导电弹簧或弹性导电构件(作为实例))而附接到衬底404。
在一个实例中,如触点1000F和1002F(和/或本文所述的其它形式的触点1000和1002)的连接器可以被激光焊接到衬底404上的对应触点。在传感器138被激光焊接到衬底404的实施方案中,衬底404的迹线表面可以通过锡焊位置处的激光照射来预热。表面散热可以使预先沉积的焊料材料回流到传感器139的每侧。如硼硅酸盐玻璃“角”的导引件可以放置在传感器和预沉积的焊料上方以保持焊料,从而朝向传感器驱动熔融焊料。所得到的“托架”接合可以接着将传感器牢固地锚定到衬底404上的迹线,这可以帮助增大或最大化迹线-焊料-传感器触点导线接合区域。在锡焊过程的热部分期间,如硼硅酸盐玻璃角的导引件的使用还可以保护可以包含在衬底上和/或衬底中的印刷电路板组合件电子装置免受焊料碎屑的影响。
在另一实例中,如触点1000F和1002F(和/或本文所述的其它形式的触点1000和1002)的连接器可以在没有激光的情况下焊接到衬底404上的对应触点。在这些实例中,焊丝可以预先进给到烙铁的尖端上,以在尖端上形成熔融焊料液滴。接着,烙铁可以向下移动,因此液滴触碰衬底上的传感器和导电迹线。例如本文所述的Ag/AgCl涂层的传感器上的涂层可以具备低热质量,使得传感器涂层快速加热而不会冻结焊料。一旦涂层被加热,焊料便会润湿涂层。迹线也将具有极小的热质量,因此它可以快速加热而不会冻结焊料。焊接掩模可以在迹线周围提供,所述焊接掩模防止焊料从迹线的边缘流出。
在一些实施方案中,衬底404可以至少部分由柔性电路(例如,具有导电迹线或其它适当柔性电路的聚酰亚胺衬底)形成,所述柔性电路在传感器138的至少一部分上方和/或周围折叠到柔性电路的导电迹线。图29示出了衬底404的柔性电路实施方案的俯视图,其中衬底404是具有中心的非导电的细长部分2702的柔性电路,传感器138沿着所述细长部分定向,并且具有在垂直于中心部分2702的细长尺寸的方向上从中心部分延伸的上延伸部2700和下延伸部2704。延伸部2700和2704分别包含形成触点408和406的导电触点2706和2708。导电触点2706和2708可以通过衬底404上或内的迹线和/或导电通孔而耦接到形成触点412和410的外部触点。在一些情况下,延伸部2700和2704可以允许测试、校准、传感器电子装置或其它设备在未被传感器占据的区域中连接到传感器载体/传感器组合件。这可以允许额外连接类型和/或改进连接的电耦接。
图30示出了传感器载体402的实施方案,其中衬底404包含楔形基座部分2800和可折叠柔性部分2802。导电触点2804可以从基座部分2800延伸到可折叠部分2802,使得当传感器138放置在基座部分2800上并且任选地可折叠部分2802在传感器138上方(例如,在方向2820上)折叠以缠绕在传感器138上方和周围时,触点410和412电耦接到传感器138。基座部分2800可以是刚性的并且可以在远离传感器138的方向上渐缩。基座部分2800可以在窄端处包含导电触点410和412。基座部分2800可以例如可移除地插入到测试站5002和校准站5004的凹部5006和5014中,以用于测试和校准操作。在图27和28的实例中,柔性衬底可以在传感器上方折叠并固定,例如,固定到传感器和/或其自身,以通过焊接锡焊、机械压接、弹簧接触、铆钉、如环氧树脂的粘合剂等来固定传感器。
图31A和31B展示了传感器载体402的另一实施例。在此实施例中,传感器载体402包括由非导电材料(例如,聚合物或陶瓷)制成的块状物404。块状物404包含沿着y轴延伸穿过其中的贯穿孔1420,分析物传感器138的近端体外部分延伸穿过所述贯穿孔。狭槽或盲孔1410和1412在与贯穿孔y轴线正交的z轴上与贯穿孔1420相交。导电触点材料406和408电镀在顶表面上并延伸到狭槽1410和1412中。沿着x轴延伸的额外孔1430和1432与贯穿孔1420和狭槽1410和1412两者相交。每个孔1430和1432跨越其相应狭槽延伸并在每个狭槽的另一侧上部分延伸到块状物种,从而在另一侧上形成盲孔或凹陷1442、1444。可以导电或非导电的插塞1451和1453被插入到孔1430和1432中并将导线分析物传感器的触点212b和211b推动到凹陷1442、1444中,从而导致触点212b和211b与传感器载体触点406和408电接触。
图32示出了传感器载体的俯视图,所述传感器载体具有衬底404、基准特征2900以及用于触点406和408中的每个触点的可移动连接器2902。传感器138可以与基准特征2900对齐,并且可移动连接器2902可以移动以将触点1000和1002中的每个触点固定在对应基准特征与可移动连接器之间。可移动连接器2902和/或基准特征2900导电耦接到触点1000和1002。可移动连接器2902和/或基准特征2900可以导电耦接到衬底404上形成触点410和412的其它触点(未示出)。图33是基准特征2900以及可在方向2904上朝向基准特征2900移动以固定传感器138的相关联的可移动触点2902之一的透视图。触点1000和1002可以是扁平的,以增强与基准特征2900和触点2902的接触。如果需要,额外导电材料2906可以在基准特征2900与触点2902之间形成在衬底404上,以增强与传感器138的电接触。附加导电材料可以是衬底404内的嵌入导电层(例如,铜或其它导电金属层)的一部分的暴露表面,或者可以是焊料或导电粘合剂(作为实例)。
图34示出了由传感器载体形成的预连接传感器的透视图,所述传感器载体被实施为基本上围绕传感器138的桶状连接器。在图34的实例中,衬底404可以是通过导电带在传感器138周围形成的绝缘层,所述导电带从具有触点1000和1002的内部触点延伸到形成触点410和412的外表面。如图34所示,环形触点410和412可以通过按压配合而可移除地收纳到装置3100(例如,测试站5002、校准站5004和/或电子装置单元500)的导电支架3102和3104中。导电支架3102和3104可以在传感器138与装置3100(例如,测试站5002、校准站5004和/或电子装置单元500)之间建立电连通。
图35A示出了传感器载体402的实施方案,其中柔性电路缠绕在传感器138的端部上方,使得柔性衬底的顶部部分3200和底部部分3202形成在传感器138的相对侧上。如图35B所示,顶部部分3200和底部部分3202可以缠绕在多个传感器138的端部上方,使得柔性电路条带3404形成多个传感器的共同传感器载体。柔性电路条带3204可以包含用于耦接到每个传感器138的触点1000和1002的成对的内部触点,以及成对的外部触点,每对外部触点耦接到对应的一对内部触点并形成用于耦接到测试站5002和/或校准站5004的触点。以此方式,多个传感器可以作为群组而运输并耦接到测试和校准设备。条带传感器载体3204可以包含每个传感器138的标识符,使得每个传感器的测试和/或校准数据可以被记录和存储。个别预连接传感器可以通过将条带传感器载体3204单切为可以安装在电子装置单元(如图13和14的可穿戴传感器单元)中的每个传感器的个别传感器载体来形成。条带3204可以包含单切特征3220(例如,促进单切为单个预连接传感器的标记和/或刻痕)。
虽然图35A和35B示出了缠绕在传感器138的端部周围的柔性电路条带,但这仅是说明性的。应理解,其它一个或多个传感器138的柔性条带载体可以按其它方式附接到一个或多个传感器。例如,传感器138的端部或其它部分可以延伸到柔性电路条带3204的衬底中以耦接到条带中的内部导电触点,或者传感器138的端部或其它部分可以附接到柔性电路条带3204的表面(例如,使用各向异性导电膜(ACF)或其它导电粘合剂、激光焊料或其它焊料、夹或其它附接机构和/或定位和对齐传感器的基准特征)。
图36示出了传感器载体302的实施方案,其中压接连接器3301延伸穿过衬底404的一部分。如图36所示,压接连接器3301可以具有从衬底404的第一侧延伸的基座部分3300(例如,以形成触点410和412之一)。压接连接器3301还包含从衬底404的相对第二侧延伸的臂3302。如图37所示,臂3302可被按压在一起或压接以机械固定并导电耦接到传感器138,从而形成例如触点406。图38示出了图36和37的传感器载体的侧视图,并且示出了如何提供延伸穿过衬底404并在第一侧上形成触点406和408以及在第二侧上形成触点410和412的两个压接连接器。虽然触点410和412在图38中形成在衬底404的第二侧上,但应了解,触点410和412可以形成在第一侧上,或者形成在衬底404的侧壁或边缘上(例如,通过在衬底404内包含一个或多个弯头或其它导电耦接件)。

尽管衬底404在图40中被示出为基本上直线的,但是模制热塑性衬底404可以具备特征3720和/或如手柄形状等整体形状,以用于在制造和组装操作期间插入、拉动或以其它方式操纵传感器138。例如,模制热塑性衬底404可以包含主要部分以及从主要部分延伸的握持部分,所述主要部分被配置成与制造设备5091、测试设备5002、校准设备5004和/或可穿戴装置机械介接和电介接。握持部分可以在制造操作期间从制造设备5091、测试设备5002或校准设备5004延伸,以便于在制造操作之后或之间从设备移除传感器载体402和传感器138。握持部分可以与主要部分一体地形成,或者可以是从模制热塑性衬底404的表面或从其内部延伸的单独的组件。握持组件可以是被设定形状成用于(例如,由技术人员)用握持工具或用手握持的柱、杆、轴或拱形手柄。
如图40所示,传感器138可以放置在凹部3700中并使用粘合剂3704(例如,如本文所述的导电粘合剂)固定到衬底404。粘合剂3704可被涂覆以将传感器138的触点1000耦接到衬底404上的第一导电迹线3702,以在传感器138与传感器载体402之间形成触点408。粘合剂3704还可以被涂覆以将传感器138的触点1002耦接到衬底404上的第二导电迹线3702,以在传感器138与传感器载体402之间形成触点406。以此方式,模制热塑性衬底404可以提供用于移动和/或以其它方式处置传感器138的手柄和/或应变消除构件。
图41示出了图40的传感器载体402的俯视图。如图40和41所示,第一导电迹线3702可以从与凹部3700内的触点1000的接触部分延伸,以在衬底404的表面上形成一个或多个暴露部分,所述暴露部分形成用于耦接到测试站5002、校准站5004和/或电子装置单元500的外部触点412。第二导电迹线3702可以从与凹部3700内的触点1002的接触部分延伸,以在衬底404的表面上形成一个或多个暴露部分,所述暴露部分形成用于耦接到测试站5002、校准站5004和/或电子装置单元500的外部触点410。
图42示出了如图40和41所示的传感器载体402的具体实施方案。在传感器载体402的此实施方案中,传感器138通过导电耦接器3900(如夹、导电粘合剂、导电聚合物、金属箔、导电泡沫、导电织物、绕线、导线穿线或通过任何适当方法)而附接到衬底404。如图43所示,衬底4000可以具有细长尺寸,平行的导电条带4001和4002沿着所述细长尺寸形成。多个传感器138可以附接到衬底4000并且在垂直于衬底的细长尺寸的方向上延伸超出衬底的边缘。可以提供如刻痕4020的单体特征,所述单切特征促进将衬底4000单切为每个传感器的个别传感器载体衬底404,和/或将每个传感器的导电条带4001和4002的部分电隔离。每个传感器可以使用例如夹3900或任何其它方法(包含通过使用导电粘合剂、导电聚合物、金属箔、导电泡沫、导电织物、绕线、导线穿线或任何其它适当方法)而附接到衬底4000。每个传感器的标识符450可以提供在衬底4000的对应部分上。
传感器138可以各自具有一对传感器电触点(例如,触点1000和1002),所述传感器电触点耦接到由衬底上的条带4001和4002形成的对应的一对电触点。衬底4000中的开口和/或延伸穿过衬底4000的通孔可以提供条带4001和4002的暴露部分,所述暴露部分形成用于将每个传感器138耦接到测试站5002、校准站5004和/或电子装置单元500(例如,可穿戴装置的电子装置单元)的多对电触点。多对电触点中的每一对通过衬底而耦接到条带4001和4002的相关联的一对部分。
图44-46示出了可以从图43所示类型的传感器载体条带单切的传感器载体上的各种触点配置。在图44的实例中,衬底4000上的z形触点配置已被单切,以在衬底的较小部分(称为衬底404)上形成预连接传感器。在这种情况下,z形触点配置可以在测试、制造或校准设备上的连接器(例如,较大间距连接)之间实现较大距离,但是不需要z形衬底来产生较大距离,并且可以使用其它衬底形状。在图45的实例中,衬底4000的正方形部分已被单切,以在衬底404上形成预连接传感器。在图46的实例中,衬底4000的正方形部分已被单切,以形成预连接传感器,并且开口4300(例如,气隙)提供在单切的衬底404中以改进单切的接触条带部分4001和4002之间的电隔离。

在测试和/或校准操作之后,柔性部分4802可以围绕式折叠、覆盖式折叠、围绕式缠绕、覆盖式缠绕或者操纵以包封部分4804,以安装到皮肤上传感器组合件600上。在图53A的实例中,部分4802可以形成用于传感器138的独立处理电路(例如,传感器电子装置112的实施方案)。在其它实施方案中,部分4802可以直接耦接到用于组合件600的信号处理电路、传感器电子装置的系统封装(SIP)实施方案或者用于传感器电子装置的主印刷电路板。在图53B的实例中,柔性部分4804被折叠以包封部分4802,以安装到皮肤上传感器组合件600中,以便使传感器138在位置上固定以延伸(例如,穿过开口4808)以用于针对体内操作而插入。
图54示出了传感器载体402使用印刷电路板技术而作为用于传感器电子装置的主印刷电路板5100的子板来制造的实施方案。如图54所示,一个或多个触点(例如,触点5104(例如,焊接触点))可以在传感器载体402与主PCB 5100之间形成,以形成用于皮肤上传感器组合件600中的传感器138的传感器电子装置单元。导电迹线5102可以通过导电附接机构5103(例如,如本文所论述的焊料、导电粘合剂、导电胶带或其它导电附件)而将触点5104耦接到传感器138。
图55示出了传感器载体402的实施方案,其中压紧夹5200被设置成闭合压接连接器5202的臂5204,以将传感器138固定到衬底404。连接器5204可以由形成触点410和412之一的导电材料形成。如图55所示,压紧夹5200包含具有倾斜表面的夹紧臂5208,随着压紧夹5200在方向5206上朝向衬底404移动并且弹回以将压紧夹5200固定到衬底404,倾斜表面向外推动臂。在其它实施方案中,压紧夹5200可以被设置成不具有夹紧臂5208,使得压紧夹5200在臂5204被压紧闭合之后可移除,而使得压紧夹5200不形成传感器载体的一部分。如图55所示,可以设置一个或多个电极突出部5220以形成例如衬底404上的触点410和412中的一个或多个触点。虽然突出部5220形成在与传感器138在图55的实例中所附接到的表面相对的衬底404的表面上,但这仅是说明性的。应了解,触点(如触点410和412)的突出部可以形成在相对表面上,与传感器138相同的表面上,或者形成在衬底404的边缘或侧壁上,并且通过导电通孔或者衬底404内或上的其它导电层、结构或互连而耦接到触点408和406。在一些实施方案中,压紧夹5200可以用于与压接连接器5202一起对传感器138施加偏置力,或者可以在没有压接连接器5202的情况下直接对衬底施加偏置力。压紧夹5202可以径向地、轴向地或在适当方向上施加力,以在传感器138和导电通路上提供偏置力。
图56示出了传感器载体402的实施方案,其中触点406和408由可折叠导电夹5300形成。传感器138可以穿过每个夹5300中的开口5302插入,并且通过将每个夹5300的部分5304折叠到传感器138上方而机械固定到衬底404并导电耦接到夹5300。
夹5300的部分5304还可以形成用于耦接到如制造站(例如,测试站、校准站、组装站、涂覆站或其它制造站)的外部设备的触点410和412。然而,这仅是说明性的。在其它实施方案中,可以设置导电耦接到夹5300的一个或多个电极突出部以形成例如衬底404上的触点410和412中的一个或多个触点。此类突出部可形成在与传感器138所附接到的表面相对的衬底404的表面上,在与传感器138相同的表面上,或在衬底404的边缘或侧壁上,并通过导电通孔或衬底404内或上的其它导电层、结构或互连而耦接到夹5300。
夹5300还形成用于将传感器138相对于衬底404定位和对齐的基准特征。衬底404可以被设定大小和形状(或可以包含结构特征),所述结构特征相对于制造站和/或可穿戴装置的壳体形成衬底404的锚定特征。以此方式,传感器载体402可以用于容易针对制造和组装操作而定位和对齐传感器138(例如,使用基准特征以将传感器相对于衬底404对齐并且使用锚定特征以将衬底相对于制造或可穿戴设备对齐)。
当安装在皮肤上传感器组合件600中时,本文所述的各种实施例中的传感器载体402的导电组件彼此电隔离并且与环境电隔离。例如,触点406、408、410和412可以通过以下方式彼此电隔离并且与环境电隔离:使用非导电粘合剂(例如,单组分或双组分环氧树脂),使用聚氨酯,使用低压包覆模制(如可模制聚酰胺或可模制聚烯烃),使用注射包覆模制热塑性塑料或热固性塑料,使用非弹性体(如焊接翻盖塑料、粘合接合翻盖、装有密封剂(例如,环氧树脂、氨基甲酸乙酯、硅树脂等)的单面或双面空腔),或使用工厂预压缩弹性体(如用于将弹性体保持在压缩状态中的约束双体空腔)。双体空腔可以通过以下方式而将弹性体保持在压缩状态中:卡扣配合、如超声波焊接、激光焊接、溶剂接合或热熔的接合或如螺钉、铆钉、夹或其它紧固件的机械紧固件。

在将管初始放置在传感器上方期间,传感器138可以松散地保持在管5500的开口5501内,并且接着当管被压缩时(例如,通过可穿戴装置的上壳体)由管固定到衬底5530。以此方式,传感器138可以通信耦接并机械固定到衬底,而无需锡焊或其它结合操作。
在制造操作期间和/或在传感器138的体内使用期间,传感器138可以通过管5500的外部压缩在衬底404上保持在适当位置中。图60示出了通过壳体结构压缩管5500而将传感器138保持在适当位置中的实例。例如,壳体5700(例如,可穿戴装置的壳体或用于制造站的盖或夹)可以包含在组装配置中压缩管5500以固定传感器138的凸出部构件5702。
如上文结合例如图35B、43、47A、47B、50和51所述,在制造操作期间,多个传感器138可以由公共传感器载体承载。然而,在一些情形下,可以提供如智能载体的公共载体,以用于多个预连接传感器的制造操作。图61示出了用于多个预连接传感器的载体的示例。如图58所示,载体5800可以包含用于多个预连接传感器的接口5804的壳体5802。壳体5802可以是基本上实心的衬底,或者可以是形成内腔的壳体,其它组件安装和/或连接在所述内腔内。
每个接口5804可以被配置成在本文描述的实施方案中的任一者中收纳传感器载体402。例如,每个接口5804可以包含与如本文根据各种实施方案所述的传感器载体的一个或多个对应锚定特征介接的一个或多个特征。载体5800可以包含被配置成与传感器138和/或外部计算设备通信的电路5806(例如,一个或多个处理器和/或存储器)。电路5806可以包含用于发射和/或接收来自外部设备的数据的通信电路系统,如一个或多个天线。壳体5802可以包含用于将载体5800机械耦接到制造设备的一个或多个结构5810(例如,夹、扣、凸出部、凹部、凹口、柱等)。一个或多个导电触点5808可以提供在壳体5802上,通过载体而将制造设备通信耦接到传感器138。
如图所示,每个接口5804可以与特定标识号相关联(作为实例,在图58中表示为I1、I2、...、IN-1和IN)。电路5806可以通过与接口相关联的标识号来电子标识安装在载体5800的接口5804中的传感器。然而,这仅是说明性的。在其它实施方案中,传感器138可以使用接口5804中的每个接口中的读取器由电路5806唯一地标识,盖读取器读取如传感器载体上的标识符450的标识符。测试和/或校准数据可以由处理电路系统5806收集,并与每个传感器的标识符一起存储和/或发射。
在制造期间,一个或多个预连接传感器可以经装载载体5800。载体5800可以将预连接传感器紧固在其中并且为每个传感器执行恒电位仪测量(例如,使用电路5806)。传感器138可以通过个别安装特征而固定到接口5804,或者载体5800可以具备锁定机构,如可滑动杆5812。可滑动杆5812可以在如图所示的打开位置与闭合位置之间滑动(例如,通过手柄5814),在打开位置中,传感器载体可以插入到接口5804中以及从其移除,在关闭位置中,杆5812阻止传感器载体从接口移除。
在一些情形下,初始测量测试可以由载体5800执行,以通过传感器互连电极和传感器表面而测试恒电位仪连接。可以对耦接到载体5800的传感器138执行的制造操作可以包含传感器的物理操纵,如传感器的校直。通过允许多个传感器使用自动校直设备在单个操作中校直,载体5800可以促进较有效的制造。
载体5800可以在传感器138的各个制造阶段促进恒电位仪测量和/或其它测量。恒电位仪测量可以在校直操作之前、期间和/或之后执行,并且关于传感器损坏或可以通过校直而引入的可能的任何其它机械应力的信息可以与相关联的传感器ID一起被保存和/或发射。
可以对耦接到载体5800的传感器138执行的制造操作还可以包含膜过程,其中执行浸渍操作以形成膜,如每个传感器的膜508。安装在载体5800中的经校直的传感器138可以同时被浸渍。恒电位仪测量可以在膜操作之前、期间和/或之后执行,并且传感器的电化学和浸渍过程相关联的信息可以由载体5800收集、处理、存储和/或发射。
可以对耦接到载体5800的传感器138执行的制造操作还可以包含固化过程。对安装在载体5800中的传感器138的群组执行固化可以允许固化过程占用较少的空间,这可以减少由固化设备使用的制造区域的占地面积。恒电位仪测量可以在固化操作之前、期间和/或之后执行,并且与传感器的电化学和浸渍过程相关联的信息可以由载体5800收集、处理、存储和/或发射。
可以对耦接到载体5800的传感器138执行的制造操作还可以包含校准操作。因为载体5800可以在制造过程中早期执行连接测试,所以改进的分析物/电化学校准可以由载体5800自身和/或与外部制造设备协作来执行。校准数据可以由载体5800收集、处理、存储和/或发射。
通过载体5800收集校准和/或测试数据可以节省连接和断开额外外部设备的时间。通过载体5800收集校准和/或测试数据,特别是当数据与传感器ID一起自动被收集并存储时,也可以减少校准/测试的错误,这是因为贯穿各种过程,数据是由同一设备收集的。
可以对连接到载体5800的传感器138执行的制造操作还可以包含分析物浓度测量。例如,载体5800可以由制造设备(例如,机械臂)移动,以将安装在载体中的传感器138暴露于各种分析物浴(例如,葡萄糖浴)。载体5800可以在各种浴暴露期间收集电势测量值。在各种浴暴露期间与电位测量相关联的信息可以由载体5800收集、处理、存储和/或发射。
可以对连接到载体5800的传感器138执行的制造操作还可以包含分析物灵敏度测量。可以由载体5800执行的灵敏度测量可以包含基线测量、斜率测量和/或噪声测量,基线测量指示没有分析物暴露于的情况下的来自每个传感器的信号,斜率测量指示分析物的给定量的信号改变。这些灵敏度测量可以由载体5800存储和/或发射。
可以对耦接到载体5800的传感器138执行的制造操作还可以包含视觉检验操作(例如,由技术人员)。提供已经历上述所有测试/校准/制造操作的安装在载体5800中的一组预连接传感器可以允许较有效和/或较自动化的视觉检验和剔除(例如,因为载体5800内的每个传感器的确切物理位置是已知的)。已在制造操作期间表现出异常电化学或机械应力的传感器138可以由载体5800标记(例如,使用显示器、视觉指示器或将标志信息发射到外部设备)以用于重新测试或剔除。
一些附图所示的元件之间的连接展示了示例性通信路径。可以包含额外通信路径(直接的或通过中介而进行的),以进一步促进元件之间的信息交换。通信路径可以是允许元件交换信息的双向通信路径。
上述方法的各种操作可以由能够执行操作的任何适当装置执行,如各种硬件和/或软件组件、电路和/或模块。通常,附图所示的任何操作可以由能够执行操作的相应功能装置来执行。

光盘,其中磁盘通常磁性地再现数据,而光盘通过激光光学地再现数据。因此,在一些方面中,计算机可读介质可以包括非暂时性计算机可读介质(例如,有形介质)。此外,在一些方面中,计算机可读介质可以包括暂时性计算机可读介质(例如,信号)。上述各项的组合也应包含在计算机可读介质的范围内。
某些方面可以包括用于执行本文所呈现的操作的计算机程序产品。例如,这类计算机程序产品可以包括具有存储(和/或编码)有指令的计算机可读介质,所述指令可由一个或多个处理器执行,以执行本文描述的操作。对于某些方面,计算机程序产品可以包含包装材料。
软件或指令还可以在传输介质上传输。例如,如果使用同轴电缆、光纤缆线、双绞线、数字用户线(DSL)或无线技术(如红外、无线电和微波)从网站、服务器或其它远程源传输软件,则传输介质的定义中包含同轴电缆、光纤缆线、双绞线、DSL或无线技术(如红外、无线电和微波)。
此外,应了解,用于执行本文所述的方法和技术的模块和/或其它适当装置可以在适用时由用户终端和/或基站下载和/或以其它方式获得。例如,这类设备可以耦接到服务器以促进传送用于执行本文所述的方法的装置。可替代地,可以通过存储装置(例如,RAM、ROM、如压缩光盘(CD)或软盘等物理存储介质)提供本文所述的各种方法,使得用户终端和/或基站可以在将存储装置耦接或提供到所述装置时获得各种方法。此外,可以利用用于将本文所述的方法和技术提供给装置的任何其它适当技术。

关于本文中基本上任何复数和/或单数术语的使用,本领域技术人员可以在适于上下文和/或应用的情况下将复数转换成单数和/或将单数转换成复数。为了清楚起见,本文中可明确地阐述各种单数/复数排列。不定冠词“一个/一种(a/an)”不排除多个。单个处理器或另一单元可以满足权利要求所述的若干项目的功能。在彼此不同的附属权利要求中叙述某些措施这一单纯事实并不指示这些措施的组合不能用于获得优势。权利要求中的任何参考符号都不应理解为限制范围。
本领域技术人员还应理解,如果希望特定数量的所引入权利要求叙述,那么将在所述权利要求中明确陈述这一意图,且在不存在这类叙述的情况下,不存在这种意图。举例来说,作为理解的辅助,以下所附权利要求可含有引入性短语“至少一个”和“一个或多个”的使用来引入权利要求叙述。然而,此类短语的使用不应被解释为暗示通过不定冠词“一个、一种(a、an)”引入的权利要求陈述将含有此类所引入权利要求陈述的任何特定权利要求限制于仅含有一个此类陈述的实施例,甚至当同一权利要求包含引入性短语“一或多个”或“至少一个”以及如“一个、一种”等不定冠词(例如,“一个”和/或“一种”通常应被解释为意为“至少一个”或“一或多个”)时,亦是如此;对于用于引入权利要求陈述的定冠词的使用也是如此。此外,即使明确叙述所引入的权利要求叙述的特定数字,本领域技术人员将认识到这类叙述应典型地解译为至少意味所述数字(例如无其它修饰语的简单叙述“两条叙述”典型地意指至少两条叙述,或两条或两条以上叙述)。另外,在使用类似于“A、B和C中的至少一个”等惯例的那些情况下,一般来说,打算这类句法结构是在本领域技术人员应了解的惯例的意义上,例如,包含所列出的项目的任何组合、包含单个成员(例如,“具有A、B和C中的至少一者的系统”将包含但不限于具有仅A、仅B、仅C、A和B一起、A和C一起、B和C一起和/或A、B和C一起的系统等等)。在使用类似于“A、B或C中的至少一者”等惯例的那些情况下,一般来说,打算这类句法结构是在本领域技术人员应了解的惯例的意义上(例如,“具有A、B或C中的至少一者的系统”将包含但不限于具有仅A、仅B、仅C、A和B一起、A和C一起、B和C一起和/或A、B和C一起的系统等等)。本领域技术人员将进一步了解,几乎任何表示两个或两个以上替代性术语的转折性词语和/或短语,无论是在描述内容、权利要求还是图式中,都应理解为考虑包含所述术语之一、所述术语中的任一术语或两个术语的可能性。例如,短语“A或B”应被理解为包含“A”或“B”或“A和B”的可能性。
本说明书中所使用的表示成分的量、反应条件等的所有数字应被理解为在所有情况下均被术语“约”修饰。因此,除非有相反的指示,否则本文所阐述的数字参数是近似值,所述近似值可以根据期望寻求获得的特性而变化。至少,而且不是试图限制将等同物的教义应用至在要求本申请优先权的任何申请中的任何权利要求的范围,应当根据有效数字的数目和普通舍入方法来解释每个数值参数。

此外,虽然出于清晰和理解的目的已借助于说明和实例相当详细地描述了上述内容,但本领域技术人员清楚可以进行某些改变和修改。因此,说明书和实例不应被理解为将本发明的范围限制在本文中所描述的特定实施例和实例,而是实际上还涵盖属于本发明的真正范围和精神内的所有修改和替代方案。
可以在任何数量的计算装置中完全实现和/或控制所描述的各种系统和方法。通常,指令布置在通常非暂时性的计算机可读介质上,并且这些指令足以允许计算装置中的处理器实施本发明的方法。计算机可读介质可以是具有指令的硬盘驱动器或固态存储器,所述指令在运行时被加载到随机存取存储器中。例如来自多个用户或来自任何一个用户的对应用程序的输入可以通过任意数量的适当的计算机输入装置进行。例如,用户可以使用键盘、鼠标、触摸屏、操纵杆、触控板、其它指标装置或任何其它这类计算机输入装置来输入与计算有关的数据。数据也可以通过插入的存储芯片、硬盘驱动器、闪存驱动器、闪存、光学介质、磁性介质或任何其它类型的文件存储介质来输入。输出可以通过视频图形卡或耦接到用户可以看到的显示器的集成图形芯片组而传递给用户。可替代地,打印机可以用于输出结果的硬拷贝。给定此教导,任何数量的其它有形输出也将被理解为本发明所预期。例如,输出可以存储在存储芯片、硬盘驱动器、闪存驱动器、闪存、光学介质、磁性介质或任何其它类型的输出上。还应注意,本发明可以实施在许多不同类型的计算装置上实现,例如,个人计算机、膝上型计算机、笔记本计算机、上网本计算机、手持计算机、个人数字助理、移动电话、智能电话、平板电脑,并且还实施在专门为这些目的设计的装置上。在一个实施方案中,智能电话或wi-fi连接装置的用户可以使用无线因特网连接从服务器将应用程序的拷贝下载到其装置。适当的认证程序和安全交易过程可以规定要向卖方付款。应用程序可以通过移动连接或WiFi或其它无线网络连接下载。接着,所述应用程序可以由用户运行。这类联网系统可以为多个用户向系统和方法提供单独的输入的实施方案提供适当计算环境。在预期工厂校准方案的以下系统中,多个输入可以允许多个用户同时输入相关数据。
