  • Patent number: 11423802
    Abstract: An educational clock that includes a base, a minute number line chain including a plurality of minute links pivotably connected together, and an hour number line chain including a plurality of hour links pivotably connected together. The minute number line chain is adjustable between an annular shape configured to removably couple to the base and a linear shape. The hour number line chain is adjustable between an annular shape configured to removably couple to the base concentrically with the minute number line chain and a linear shape. The minute number line chain and the hour number line chain are approximately the same length when each is in its linear shape.

  • Patent number: 11293889
    Abstract: A control system for a fluid analyzer is described. The control system has a processor executing processor executable code to: control a potentiostat to apply a first voltage potential sufficient to induce a first electrochemical reaction of a target analyte or a reaction byproduct of the target analyte in a sample of the calibration reagent and receive a first reading from the potentiostat; control the potentiostat to apply a second voltage potential insufficient to induce a second electrochemical reaction of the target analyte or a reaction byproduct of the target analyte in the sample of the calibration reagent and receive a second reading from the potentiostat; calculate calibration parameters using the first reading, the second reading and a multi-point calibration algorithm; and measure a target analyte concentration within the fluid sample using the calibration parameters.
