Abstract: A test strip eject mechanism for a fluid testing device comprising an actuation button and a lever having a distal end movably engaged with the button, the lever configured to rotate about a fulcrum, wherein the lever has a proximal end movably engaged with a sled which slides to transport the test strip, the device configured such that a user's insertion of a test strip onto the sled and in an insertion direction into the device causes the sled to contact the lever arm and the lever arm to contact and move the actuation button in an outward direction of the medical device and into a position where the actuation button can be actuated by the user.

Abstract: This disclosure is directed to a disposal container system enabling storage of used or contaminated articles having a generally flat, strip-shaped configuration, such as diagnostic biosensors. The disposal container is removably mountable to a supply container, and has an insertion portion provided in a wall of the disposal container. The insertion portion has a contour configured externally to guide deposit of a flat, strip-shaped article through a narrow slit, the contour further configured internally to deflect any loose articles in the interior space of the disposal container away from any accidental alignment with the slit which would cause free extraction of the articles. The disposal container may be configured for engagement with a supply container, such as a round or non-round vial, in a bottom-cap configuration or in a side-by-side configuration, by way of an engagement portion.

Abstract: A battery retention system is configured to facilitate insertion and removal of batteries from an electronic device. The electronic device includes a housing that defines a battery cavity for receiving a battery. The battery cavity has a floor. A floor contact extends from the floor. The floor contact is configured to provide a biasing force to push the battery away from the floor of the battery cavity. The housing has tabs extending into the battery cavity to hold the battery in the battery cavity against the biasing force of the floor contact. The battery cavity has a recess that allows the battery to move in a lateral direction along the floor to a position where the battery disengages from at least one of the tabs to allow at least a portion of the battery to be pushed out of the battery cavity by the biasing force of the floor contact.

Abstract: A medical device includes a housing that has a front face and a side face. The housing defines a window cavity on the front face and a button cavity in the side face. A display is disposed in the housing. The display is aligned in the housing for viewing through the window cavity. A window covers the display in the window cavity, and the display is at least partially visible through the window. The window extends along the front face to the button cavity in the side face. A button element is received in the button cavity. The button element and the window are separate components. The button element has opposing end edges that align with the end edges of the window where the button element and window meet to provide an impression that the window and the button element are integral with one another.

Abstract: There is provided a system and method for restricting the movement of a television screen. More specifically, in one embodiment, there is provided a display unit comprising a screen, and a frame member connected without a bezel to the screen, wherein the frame member comprises a first channel configured to receive a bracket and a second channel configured to receive the screen.
