Patent number: 11659869Abstract: A method for managing an electronic vaping power device may include performing a safety analysis on a power device circuit. Performing the safety analysis may include using a liquid sensing device to determine whether the liquid is present in the power device circuit. The method may further include disabling, in response to determining that a liquid is present in the power device circuit, the power device circuit from performing the electronic vaping operation or a charging operation.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2018Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: OneWorld Solutions LimitedInventors: Gary Alan Fisher, Alan Pang, Kelvin Choi, Toby Liu

Patent number: 11061021Abstract: Apparatus for performing an assay to detect the presence of an analyte in a test sample. A housing defines a slot for receiving a sample collector, and a capsule contains a buffer liquid, the capsule being sealed by an openable lid, and being connected to the housing such that insertion of a sample collector into the slot causes the lid to open releasing the buffer liquid into the slot. The housing further defines an incubation chamber containing or configured to receive a reagent, and an aperture permitting liquid communication between the slot and the incubation chamber. The apparatus comprises one or more test elements, a substantially liquid tight sealing member separating the incubation chamber and the test element(s), and an activation mechanism operable to open the liquid tight sealing member thereby bringing at least a portion of the or each test element into liquid communication with the incubation chamber.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2019Date of Patent: July 13, 2021Assignee: ALERE TOXICOLOGY PLCInventors: Alan Pang, Gordon Jowett, Barry Lillis, Jack Fairbank
