Student: B303098002 林祐辰Topic: Non-invasive automatic glucose sensor system
1. Why we need to learn to use Thomson Innovation to find the information of patent?
(1) The Patent is a copyright that could protect the inventors of this product, drug backbone structures, themanufacturing mechanism of a product…, and so on.
(2) There are three ways to search the patent in this website:
a. When you want to invent a new product and you have to find out that whether this product had already been patented or not.
b. When you find a new product, and you want to learn more about the patent of it. Then you can search the patent number of this product form google and then put this patent number into the Thomson Innovation website and the whole information of this patent will be shown.
c. When you are just curious that what kind of patent had already being applied you can take a look at this website and you will have some interesting discoveries.
2. How did I find this information from Innovation website?
Through pathway C that’s how I found the topic which I was interested in.
(1) Type the key word “pain” .and then I found a patent about “Extended focal region measuring apparatus and method”. Then I click this title for a closer look of this topic.
(2) Then I found that this topic is about an apparatus of light sensor monitor. However the figure that describes this patent isn’t clear enough. Owing to this reason I put the key words “Extended focal region measuring apparatus and method” to google and looking for a clear description of this patent.
After doing the research on google I found this patent, “Extended focal region measuring apparatus and method” directly.
(3) While looking closely at this patent whish is about a glucose monitor , I found another patent which comes from the same concept and is an more advance invention. The title of this patent is “Non-invasive glucose sensor system” and the patent number is “US 3958560 ”. And ,besides, it has a more clear figure to discribe the mechanism and the concept of this new design.
(4) This patent is an individually glucose sensor system ,which was put on the eyes of diabetes patients, andit is designed after the phenomenon that the balance level of serum glucose concentration is varied case by case , namely different diabetes patients have difference homeostasis state of serum glucose. In order to help patient maintain the blood glucose level, this personally glucose sensor monitor was invented.
(5) When I got to know the patent number of this new design. I put this patent number back to the Thomson Innovation website and the detail information of this patent was shown at the page of the patent result set.
(6) Click! And take a closer look of it.
This “Non-invasive glucose sensor system is an automatic sensor that helps scan one side of the patient’s cornea blood flow through a source of radiation. The sensor was put near the corner cornea and the different level of serum glucose will reveal different level of radiation to the sensor. This result will then transmit to the remote receiver and it, the scanning result, indicated that whether a diabetes patient or a people of high-risk diabetes suffered group have acceptable blood glucose level or not.
3. The feeling of using Thomson innovation research tools:
When I was doing research on Thomson Innovation, I found out that most of the patents’ titles were written in unfamiliar and rare-used words to describe their patent in order to prevent their product from being found out so easily, so that they can extend the patent protection periods. Take my topic for instance, the “Non-invasive glucose sensor system” can be translated into a more clear
sentence“a personally radiation monitor of blood glucose”. So that when we type the key words “radiation, Blood glucose”, we can found out this patent through a more easily way.
Besides, this innovation system also applied a tool for Drug-drug interaction which can be downloaded to iPhone or iPad. Even though the user should pay for it, the development of this tool seems to be a challenge to every pharmacist. Once the dispensing and consulting right and duty weresubstituted by the technology or the machines, what’s the point of being a pharmacist? What can we do to improve ourselves’ ability so that we won’t be replaced? This is certainly very important to all pharmacist and the students who major in pharmacy.
I believe that creativity and imagination are the treasure of us. We have to read more books, and think out better ideas when we are still studying in college, and try to learn more from out teachers. Do as what Jobs said “Stay hungry, stay foolish”. The more and the broader knowledge you have the better idea you will come up with. And maybe one day, in the future, you can put your ideas into practice and help the people all around the world lead a better life. Perhaps, the young generation will discover our inventions and designs on the webpage of Thomson Innovation!
