Abstract: A double-acting device for generating a synthetic jet is provided. The double-acting device includes a chamber having a cavity for a working fluid, a separating element for dividing the chamber into at least two sub-chambers, a control system connected to the chamber for controlling the separating element to act reciprocatingly, an input system connected to the chamber for inputting the working fluid to the chamber therethrough and an output system connected to the chamber for outputting the working fluid from the chamber therethrough. When the working fluid is pushed and pulled by a reciprocating action of the separating element, a train of vortices would be puffed and a non-zero-net-mass-flux fluid is generated through a designed structure and a defined arrangement of the input system and the output system.

Abstract: A device for holding a medical test strip is provided. The device comprises a receiving casing having an opening for receiving the medical test strip and a first stopping portion protruding from an upper surface of the receiving casing; an ejection base having a cover and a pusher beneath the cover, the cover downwardly extending a second stopping portion for sliding against the upper surface of the receiving casing; and an elastic member located between the receiving casing and the ejection base. When the pusher moves toward the opening by an external force to eject the test strip from the opening, the elastic member is compressed and the second stopping portion slides away from the first stopping portion. When the external force disappears, the second stopping portion slides toward the first stopping portion by a resilient force of the elastic member until the first stopping portion and the second stopping portion are engaged.

Abstract: A biochemical test system, a measurement device, and a biochemical test strip are provided. The biochemical test strip includes an insulating substrate, a conductive layer, and at least one open-circuit part.

Abstract: A safety lancet includes a housing, an actuating unit, a needle unit, a blocking unit and an elastic unit. The housing has a side hole and a front opening. The actuating unit is disposed on an outer surface of the housing. The needle unit, including a needle, a flex pin and a blocking pin, is disposed inside the housing. The needle corresponds to the front opening and the flex pin corresponds to the side hole. One end of the flex pin extends into the side hole to position the needle unit at a first position. The blocking unit is disposed inside the housing and corresponds to the blocking pin to allow the needle unit to forwardly pass through the blocking unit and prevent the needle unit from backwardly passing through the blocking unit.
