  • Patent number: 10661072
    Abstract: A device for delivery of TENS current, attachable to a handheld skin treatment device with a mechanical motion source, comprises a housing for mounting on the handheld skin treatment device, with a conductive skin contact head with first and second electrodes for receiving a TENS signal as a voltage established between the electrodes and a connector mounted in or on the housing and configured to interface with the mechanical motion source to receive the motion of the motion source. The device has an energy converter in the housing to convert the motion into electrical current, a power control circuit for receiving the electrical current and converting it into at least one power supply output voltage; and a signal generation circuit connected to the at least one the power supply output voltage for producing as an output a TENS signal for delivery to skin.

  • Publication number: 20160145676
    Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for analysis of samples, particularly biological and environmental sample to detect biomolecules of interest contained therein. A variety of system components are described herein, including, but not limited to, components for sample handling, mixing of materials, sample processing, transfer of materials, and analysis of materials. The invention further provides mechanisms for combining and integrating the different components and for housing, moving, and storing system components or the system as a whole. The systems may include any one or more or all of these components. The system finds particular use when employed for analysis of nucleic acid molecule using mass spectrometry, however, the invention is not limited such specific uses.
