Abstract: In one embodiment, a filter assembly for use in an insufflation system is described. The filter assembly comprises: a filter medium operative to filter medical gases; a housing comprising an inlet, an outlet and the filter medium, the housing defining a gases flow path through the filter medium between the inlet and the outlet; and at least one heating element being positioned in the housing and being configured to heat the filter medium; and wherein, the at least one heating element is spaced apart from the filter medium and from an inner surface of the housing.

Abstract: A device for determining the amount or concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample and a flow rate of the fluid sample in a channel is provided. The device includes a chamber including a channel and an opening, the channel in fluid communication with the opening. The device further includes a wicking component positioned adjacent to the opening configured to receive an amount of fluid from the channel. The device may further include an analyte sensor positioned on the wicking component, the analyte sensor configured to detect an analyte in fluid in contact with the analyte sensor, wherein the wicking component is configured to contact the amount of fluid with the analyte sensor. Alternatively the device may include at least one pair of electrodes configured to determine a flow rate of the fluid in the channel.

Abstract: A vanity is secured to a steering wheel by four long upside down J-shaped hooks. Two of the upside down J-shaped hooks attach to the top of the vanity and slide up from within the vanity case while two slide out of the side of the vanity case one from each side of the case. The two side hooks attach to the sides of the steering wheel in order to adjust/move the vanity from left to right. The top two hooks help to attach the vanity to the top of the steering wheel and allows for up and down adjustment of the vanity. All four of the J-shaped hooks have notches in order to click the vanity in place once it is adjusted. This oval shaped vanity is surrounded by electric lights powered by battery and also by the cigarette lighter socket and cord that plug into the car's cigarette lighter socket. If the car has an outlet, a cord is provided to plug the vanity into the outlet within the car.
