First Claim
Patent Images
1. An apparatus which cooperates with a removable biosensor, the apparatus comprising:
- a noninvasive extraction device to noninvasively extract a biological sample;
a retaining member to retain the removable biosensor proximate to at least a portion of the noninvasive extraction device, the retaining member to cover a first portion of a surface of the removable biosensor while exposing a second portion of the surface of the removable biosensor for user contact, the removable biosensor to sense a characteristic of the biological sample;
a first set of at least two electrodes to couple to the removable biosensor near a first edge of the removable biosensor covered by the retaining member; and
a second set of at least two electrodes to couple to the removable biosensor near a second edge of the removable biosensor covered by the retaining member.

9. An apparatus which cooperates with a removable biosensor, the apparatus comprising:
-
a card-shaped housing having a length of about 85.6 mm and a width of about 54 mm; a noninvasive extraction device supported by the card-shaped housing to noninvasively extract a biological sample; a retaining member to retain the removable biosensor proximate to at least a portion of the noninvasive extraction device, the retaining member to cover a first portion of a surface of the removable biosensor while exposing a second portion of the surface of the removable biosensor for user contact, the removable biosensor to sense a characteristic of the biological sample; a first set of at least two electrodes to couple to the removable biosensor near a first edge of the removable biosensor covered by the retaining member; and a second set of at least two electrodes to couple to the removable biosensor near a second edge of the removable biosensor covered by the retaining member.
