  • Electronic analyte assaying device
    Patent number: 9453850
    Abstract: An improved electronic diagnostic device for detecting the presence of an analyte in a fluid sample comprises a casing having a display, a test strip mounted in the casing, a processor mounted in the casing, and a first sensor mounted in the casing and operatively coupled to the processor. The processor is configured to receive a signal from the first sensor when the device is exposed to ambient light thereby causing the device to become activated. The device includes a light shield that exerts pressure across a width of the test strip to prevent fluid channeling along the length of the test strip. The processor is configured to present an early positive test result reading when a measured value exceeds a predetermined early reading threshold value at any time after a predetermined early testing time period.

  • ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
    Publication number: 20160199165
    Abstract: An electric toothbrush with a replaceable brush head section is disclosed. The electric toothbrush includes a handle including a motor therein and a brush head section. The toothbrush has a longitudinal axis extending through the handle to the far end of the brush head. The brush head section includes a translation head and an oscillation head, each of which has a bristle support member, one of which will rotate and oscillate and the other of which will not rotate or oscillate, but will reciprocate along, or substantially parallel to, the longitudinal, axis. The translation head is adapted so that its motion will induce a different motion in the bristle head of the oscillation head. The invention results in reduced assembly costs.
