    Abstract: A catheter for guiding a body fluid of a subject includes an elongated body, an adjusting mechanism, and a valve mechanism. Moreover, the elongated body further includes a first portion, a second portion and a flexible portion between the first and the second portions. The second portion includes a passageway for the body liquid. The valve mechanism closes to the inlet of the passageway. Furthermore, the flexible portion expands when the adjusting mechanism is in a first state to prevent the catheter from being removed from the subject, and the flexible portion retracts when the adjusting mechanism alters to a second state to allow the catheter to be removed from or inserted into the subject. Hence, the body fluid is directed to enter the passageway via the inlet and exit via the outlet when the adjusting mechanism is not in the second state.

  • Publication number: 20240013183
    Abstract: A Projected Capacitive (PCAP) display including multiple arrays of conductive electrodes performs a dual function. In a first function, the PCAP display uses the conductive electrode arrays to generate an electrostatic field and determines the presence and position of a conductive object based on small changes it detects in the capacitance of that electrostatic field. In a second function, the PCAP display uses the same conductive electrode arrays to generate a magnetic field. As a user swipes the card across the surface of the PCAP display, it causes small changes in the generated magnetic field. The PCAP display retrieves the data magnetically encoded onto the magnetic stripe card based on the changes it detects in the magnetic field.
