  • Patent number: 12366323
    Abstract: A bracket assembly and method for supporting portable element on a structure element using a bracket assembly are disclosed. The bracket assembly includes a cylindrical body, a holding bracket, a groove element including a body defining a groove shaped for conforming to and receiving a first portion of the structure element, a main bracket including a central portion, and a first leg element and a second leg element including grasping end sections for grasping a second portion of the structure element, the main bracket and the holding bracket being configured to cooperate so as to collaboratively form an open-ended channel, and an elongated wedge-shaped element selectively moving in the open-ended channel, when the elongated wedge-shaped element is slidably moved from a first position to a second position, a clamping force applied by the bracket assembly on the structure element is increased.

  • Patent number: 7138089
    Abstract: A test device for testing of analyte concentration in a fluid to be applied thereto, the device comprising a plurality of test members arranged in at least one stack and electrodes for engaging with electrode tracks on a test member. A pusher pushes a single test member from the stack so that it can engage with the electrodes. An actuation member is connected to the pusher, and moves it when operated by a user. The at least one stack of test members is enclosed in a magazine which is initially sealed by a moisture impermeable seal. A cutter is provided for slitting the seal and permitting a test member to be pushed from the magazine by the pusher when the first test member from the magazine is to be used.

  • Patent number: 6827899
    Abstract: A test device for testing of analyte concentration in a fluid comprises: a housing (2) having an opening and containing a stack of sensors (16); a transport member (4) rotatably mounted in the opening of the housing, having an axis of rotation which spans the opening; a spring (24) which urges the stack against the transport member; and sealing means (20, 34) for making a moisture tight seal between the transport member and the sensors when the transport member is in a specified rotational position. An outer surface of the transport member has a recessed region (12) which is adapted to receive a single sensor from the stack. Rotation of the transport member with a sensor in the recessed region transports the sensor to a location where it can be connected to a meter (6, 8) and receive a drop of fluid to be tested.

  • Publication number: 20020119765
    Abstract: An interface system (1) interacts on one side in a TCP/IP environment with a client application via an API 3. On the other side the system (1) interacts in a mobile network environment with an HLR 4 via a TCAP API 5, a signalling interface unit (6) and an SS7 network (7). It allows subscribers to use functionality such as feature code services in a more comprehensive and versatile manner.

  • Publication number: 20020076349
    Abstract: A test device for testing of analyte concentration in a fluid to be applied thereto, the device comprising a plurality of test members (8) arranged in at least one stack and electrodes (26) for engaging with electrode tracks on a test member (8). A pusher (16) pushes a single test member from the stack so that it can engage with the electrodes. An actuation member (6) is operably connected to the pusher (16), and moves it when operated by a user. The or each stack of test members is enclosed in a magazine (10) which is initially sealed by a moisture impermeable seal (20), and means (22, 24) are provided for breaking the seal (20) and permitting a test member (8) to be pushed from the magazine (10) by the pusher (16) when the first test member (8) from the magazine (10) is to be used.
