Abstract: A system for receiving and ejecting a fluid testing device test strip includes a strip connector having first and second guide rails, and divider walls each having a channel. A sled has first and second legs connected to a cross member. Each leg has a contact leg extending inwardly from a chamfered end. The first and second legs when positioned parallel to the guide rails have the contact leg captured in the divider wall channels retaining the sled in sliding contact with the guide rails for motions in loading and ejection directions. A mechanism assembly is movably connected to the fluid testing device. The cross member is coupled so operation in a first direction displaces the sled in the loading direction positioning the sled in a test strip test position, and opposite operation positions the contact legs in direct contact with and ejects the test strip.

Abstract: An appliance, such as a television, may include a heater disposed therein to prevent the formation of condensation on the components of the appliance. The heater may be an existing module of the appliance that is powered up to provide heat when needed or the heater may be a separate, stand-alone heater. A sensor may be provided in the appliance to determine if condensation may form and control the heater accordingly.
