Abstract: A cartridge-based biofluid monitoring system and method of using same are disclosed. The biofluid monitoring system uses a biofluid cartridge configured to be removably inserted into a biofluid cartridge housing. The biofluid cartridge housing can be rotated so that multiple types of analysis can be conducted on one biofluid collection. The biofluid monitoring system may be used at a user's home or at other locations that allow for real-time biofluid monitoring to occur. The biofluid monitoring system allows for point-of-care detection and monitoring of a multitude of clinically relevant biological markers of current or changing health and disease states, by analyzing the user's biofluid.

Abstract: A UV lamp rack assembly usable in an ultraviolet ray wastewater treatment system, the rack including a horizontal hanger bar. When the assembly is installed in a channel through which a stream of wastewater to be treated is conducted, the bar is then supported above the channel in the flow direction of the stream. Depending from the bar at an upstream position is a vertical rod along which sleeves are pivotally mounted at spaced points thereon whereby each sleeve can be swiveled in a horizontal plane. Depending from the bar at a downstream position is a vertical conduit along which detachable lamp couplers are mounted at corresponding points, each coupler housing a lamp socket that is connected through the conduit to a power source. Extending between each sleeve and the coupler corresponding thereto is a lamp unit formed by a transparent protective tube enclosed at its upstream end and housing an elongated UV lamp whose terminal pins are at the downstream end.
