  • Publication number: 20250049361
    Abstract: A container configured to store tools used by a healthcare worker when performing a blood draw and collection procedure includes a tray and packaging. The tray includes a plurality of chambers sized to receive the tools used by the healthcare worker for the blood draw and collection procedure. The tools include at least one disposable disinfecting device for disinfecting portions of the tools and at least one tube for storing a blood sample. The packing, when in a closed or prior-to-use position, is over openings of the plurality of chambers of the tray, thereby securely containing the tools within the chambers of the tray. In an open or ready-for-use position, the packaging is separated from the openings of the plurality of chambers of the tray so that the healthcare worker can access the tools contained within the chambers while performing the blood draw and collection procedure.

  • Patent number: 5287436
    Abstract: A polygon sort engine including first and second apparatus for sorting. The first apparatus for sorting receives planar, externally convex polygon vertices from an external polygon tiling engine. This includes points and lines. The state machine on the second apparatus for sorting interfaces with the polygon tiling engine and a raster engine in a graphics pipeline. It provides a control signal which determines when the first apparatus for sorting will receive the next polygon. The second sorting appartus also controls whether the polygon is stored in the PING or PONG memory. For example, as the state machine is controlling the sorting of the current polygon into the PING RAM, the state machine will also be controlling the loading of the previous vertices and the PONG RAM into the raster engine.
