Abstract: An exemplary charge port covering assembly includes, among other things, a biasing device configured to move to a first position when a charger is decoupled from a charge port, and to a second position when the charger is coupled to the charge port. A charge port door is moveable to a closed position when the biasing device is in the first position, and is held in an open position when the biasing device is in the second position. An exemplary charge port covering method includes, among other things, biasing a charge port door toward an open position with a biasing device in a first position, and moving the biasing device from the first position to a second position to close the charge port door.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for detecting the presence of an analyte in an interfering fraction containing fluid or semi-fluid sample, said device comprises:(a) a transparent housing,(b) inlet means for the sample to be analyzed,(c) outlet means, and (d) at least two discrete superposed layers being a first and a second layer through which at least a part of the sample is able to be transported in said order, characterized in that the first layer comprises an adsorbent medium capable of adsorbing at least a part of the interfering fraction of the sample and the second layer comprises an adsorbent medium containing an analyte-receptor capable of retaining the analyte. The invention further relates to the use of said device for detecting the presence of an analyte in an interfering fraction containing a fluid or semi-fluid sample under investigation and to a method for detecting the presence of an analyte in an interfering fraction containing a fluid or semi-fluid sample.
