  • Publication number: 20120302919
    Abstract: A lancing device including a replaceable multi-lancet cartridge. The lancing device includes a drive mechanism, an activation mechanism, and an advancing mechanism. The advancing mechanism includes a linear-pull slide controls an indexing mechanism, a charger mechanism, and a cap-displacement mechanism. The indexing mechanism sequentially advances the lancets to an active position. The charger mechanism charges the drive mechanism and removes the lancet caps. And the cap-displacement mechanism moves the separated caps from the lancing stroke path. The activation mechanism then releases the charged lancet to traverse the lancing stroke path to pierce the subject's skin. Some embodiments include an anti-reverse mechanism to prevent reuse of the lancets, and some include an emergency lancet reuse mechanism that permits emergency reuse of the last lancet. And some embodiments include a movable depth-control wall for providing control and adjustment of the lancing penetration depth.

  • Patent number: 7616127
    Abstract: A removable mount for mounting an electronic system component on a forklift includes, in one embodiment, a mounting plate having a major surface for mounting the electronic system component and an inverted J-shaped part located at a top portion of the mounting plate. The inverted J-shaped part is adapted for mounting the mounting plate on an unmodified original equipment manufacture (OEM) carriage of the forklift or an unmodified OEM sideshifter of the forklift. The mounting plate also has a slot to accommodate a fastener for anchoring the mounting plate to the unmodified OEM carriage or to the unmodified OEM sideshifter.

  • Patent number: 7460016
    Abstract: In one of several embodiments, an RFID system for a forklift incorporates a metal plate to which is attached an electronic circuit assembly. Also attached to the metal plate, is an antenna assembly housing an RFID interrogator antenna and/or a wireless local area network (WLAN) antenna. The metal plate operates as a ground plane to the antenna assembly and also serves as a mounting plate for mounting the RFID system on a sideshifter or a carriage of the forklift.
