    摘要: A strip connector includes a connector housing having a housing cavity and guide feature. A strip carrier slidable in the housing cavity includes a carrier body having a strip channel slidably receiving a test strip in an insertion direction. A first biasing member biases the strip carrier in an ejection direction opposite the insertion direction. A second biasing member acting orthogonal to the first biasing member biases the carrier body in a contact direction orthogonal to the ejection direction. First and second male members of the carrier body slide with respect to the guide feature and prevent strip contact direction carrier displacement until the male members are axially aligned with guide feature branches extending orthogonally to the guide feature. A test strip conductor contacts connector housing electrical contacts when the male members axially align with the branches and the second biasing member displaces the strip carrier in the contact direction.

    摘要: A system and method for rapidly determining ambient temperature in a fluid-analyte meter. The meter includes a housing defining an interior space and an area for receiving a fluid sample. A processor and a first temperature sensor are disposed within the interior space of said the housing. A second temperature sensor is disposed on the housing. One or more processors are configured to determine a first temperature value from temperature data received from the first temperature sensor. The processor(s) are also configured to apply a variable current to a temperature-adjustment source such that the second temperature sensor is adjusted to a predetermined steady-state temperature value different from the first temperature value. The processor(s) are further configured to determine an ambient temperature of an exterior space of the housing based on the applied variable current, pre-determined steady-state temperature, and received first temperature values.

    摘要: One side of the surfaces of the crystal resonator 4 including an adsorbing film 46 that absorbs a sensing object on an excitation electrode 42A is pressed with the channel forming member 5 using the upper-side cover body 21 to fonn a channel 57, which runs from one end side to the other end side on one side of surfaces of the crystal resonator 4. A depressed portion 84 is disposed in at least one of: a position opposed to the channel 57 and at a surface on an opposite side of the channel 57 in the channel forming member 5, and a position opposed to the channel 57 and at a surface on the opposite side of the channel 57 in the pressing member with respect to the channel forming member 5.
