Abstract: The application provides an ear thermometer with a probe cover ejection device. The ear thermometer comprises a holding body and a measuring assembly disposed at one end of the holding body, which comprises a probe, a rotating member, and a socket. The rotating member includes a ring cover with an opening formed in a middle of the ring cover, at least one first abutting portion axially extended from a lateral side of the ring cover, and a lever portion radially extended from the lateral side of the ring cover. The socket includes a circular bottom surface and a closed section and an open section defined on a periphery of the circular bottom surface, a side wall surface vertically provided on the closed section, an accommodating space sandwiched between the side wall surface and the circular bottom surface, and at least one second abutting portion formed on the circular bottom surface.

Abstract: The application discloses a test strip and a method for manufacturing the test strip. The test strip comprises a base layer; an intermediate layer overlaid on the base layer; a blood retaining layer comprising a slit and a blood retaining region fluidly commuted with the slit and overlaid on the intermediate layer; an upper layer overlaid on the blood retaining layer; a reagent disposed on a surface of the intermediate layer and exposed to the slit, wherein there are an expectedly predetermined depth and a measured depth from an interface between the slit and the upper layer to an upper surface of the intermediate layer; and a classification mark representing a compensation factor and disposed on an upper surface of the upper layer or a lower surface of the base layer; wherein the compensation factor is the product of a difference between the predetermined depth and the measured depth and a reciprocal of the predetermined depth.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a non-contact infrared thermometer, which includes at least three infrared sensors, an indicating unit and a microprocessor. The at least three infrared sensors are arranged in serial to receive an infrared ray at a target area. The indicating unit is configured to emit visible light on the target area to indicate a received infrared region. The microprocessor is configured to receive and process the infrared ray measured by the at least three infrared sensors to provide at least three temperature values, thereby determining that the object to be measured is an organism.

Abstract: An infrared thermometer (10), comprising a handheld part (12) and a head (11) connected to the handheld part (12). The head (11) comprises a bottom shell (112); an infrared sensor (113) configured to measure the temperature of an object to be measured; a holder (114) configured to hold the infrared sensor (113) in the bottom shell (112); a housing (111) configured to accommodate the infrared sensor (113) and the holder (114), and combined with the bottom shell (112); a first conductor (115) arranged on the housing (111); and a second conductor (116) arranged between the first conductor (115) and the handheld part (12) and adjacent to the holder (114) wherein the first conductor (115) and the second conductor (116) are capacitive sensors.

Abstract: A forehead thermometer has a body, a detecting unit and a point light source. The detecting unit and the point light source are mounted adjacent to each other and are mounted in a front end of the body. A first convex lens is mounted between the detecting unit and the front end of the body to focus the infrared energy from the forehead to the detecting unit so that the measuring precision is enhanced and also provides focusing effect within a limited space. Therefore, the forehead thermometer is lighter and smaller.

Abstract: A speech recognition module for a personal digital assistant comprises: a module housing designed to engage with an accessory feature of the PDA, such as an accessory slot; a microphone for receiving speech commands from the person; and a speech recognition system. A corresponding electrical speech command signal is communicated to the portable computing device, allowing control of the operation of a software application program running on the portable computing device. In particular, menu items can be selected for generation of a diet log for the person, for example during a weight control program.

Abstract: A system and method for determining an individualized drug dosage is provided. The system includes a metabolic rate sensing means for sensing the metabolic rate of the individual. The system also includes a computing device having a processor, a memory, an input device, and a display device. The system further includes a data storage means operatively in communication with the processor, and the data storage means includes a drug database containing drug dosage data. The method includes the steps of determining a standardized dosage for a drug. The method also includes the steps of measuring the actual metabolic rate of the individual and determining a metabolic comparison factor by comparing the measured actual metabolic rate to a predetermined standard metabolic rate. The method further includes the steps of adjusting the standardized drug dosage using the comparison factor.

Abstract: An apparatus (21) which measures the arterial blood pressure at the human wrist (1) is provided with a cuff (22) having a shape adapted to be placed in a predetermined position around the wrist (1). The cuff (22) has one or two inflatable measuring bladders (23a, 23b). The bladders (23a, 23b) are arranged and have a size in such a way that each bladder (23a, 23b) covers only one of either the radial (2) and the ulnar (3) artery.
