Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to power saving mechanisms for a wearable camera device. The camera device comprises an image sensor and lens assembly in an optical series with the image sensor. At a first orientation of the camera device, an offset is between a center axis of the image sensor and an optical axis of the lens assembly. At a second orientation of the camera device, at least one of the image sensor and the lens assembly sag due to gravity such that the center axis and the optical axis substantially overlap while the camera device is in a neutral state. The lens assembly and the image sensor can further allow a dynamic amount of sag relative to each other.

Abstract: A proboscis for use with a diagnostic instrument includes an elongated main body having a proximal end and an opposite distal end, and a lumen extending between the proximal and distal ends. The distal end includes an orifice which is in fluid communication with the lumen. A fluid splash guard is affixed to the main body at the distal end, and provides protection for the orifice and lumen from being clogged with a sample fluid.
