摘要:
Apparatuses and methods providing data such as, for example, calibration and reagent information (30) over a network (6) to a measurement apparatus (4) which makes use of a consumable reagent (18) in a measuring process are disclosed. The present invention permits a measurement apparatus (4) to download the necessary code assignment (24) and calibration data (32) of the consumable reagent (18) by means of an electronic communication protocol from a host (33). The host (33) can be a software application running on a host computer (34), another measurement apparatus (50, 58) with or without a code-key slot used to read a memory device providing the above mentioned information (30), a dedicated connectivity device, such as a docking station (44), a portable memory reader (48), a remote computer (54), and combinations thereof.
摘要:
A method includes providing a molded elastomeric mat having an input protrusion, an output device receiving surface including an output device contact, and a battery receiving indentation including a power supply contact. The method further includes insert molding an output conductive path into the elastomeric mat, the output conductive path electrically coupling a circuit carrier output contact to an output device contact, and insert molding a power supply conductive path into the elastomeric mat, the power supply conductive path electrically coupling a circuit carrier power contact to the power supply contact. The method includes interfacing the elastomeric mat with a circuit carrier, aligning the input protrusion with a circuit carrier input contact, interfacing a display device with the output device receiving surface, electrically connecting the display device with the output device contact, and positioning the elastomeric mat into a housing.

摘要:
An electronic device enclosure having an integrated in-mold foil, which prevents fluid ingress around an included display of the electronic device, is disclosed. A portion of the in-mold foil is adapted to the specific contour and profile of the display, thereby allowing a user to use a touch screen interface of the display with no shortcomings. In addition, the in-mold foil protects the display from direct chemical attack, and may provide a liquid-tight seal between a button of the electronic device and the enclosure.

摘要:
A multicolor liquid ink jet print head including a print head body containing liquid ink and having a nozzle assembly and electrical connections to the nozzle assembly. The print head body defines passageways to couple the ink from ink chambers in the print head body to the nozzle assembly. The disclosed print head body contains three ink chambers for inks of three different colors, each of which are connected by a separate pathway in the print head body to a separate section of the nozzle assembly. The ink flow channels of the print head body are designed to assure total isolation of each color of ink from each of the other colors. The print head body includes sidewalls and a bottom, with the bottom of the print head body defining three exit ports communicating with the nozzle assembly. One of the nozzle ports communicates with an opening in the bottom of one of the ink chambers. Each of the other two exit ports communicates with a different crossflow channel in the bottom of the print head body which in turn communicates with an opening in the bottom of a different one of the ink chambers. The crossflow channels are formed in molding the print head body to extend to the exterior of the print head body, and each crossflow channel is sealed with a plug to prevent leakage of ink from the crossflow channel.
