Abstract:
An electrochemical test sensor is adapted to measure glucose and correct for the oxygen effect in a fluid sample. The test sensor comprises a base, first and second working electrodes, and a counter electrode. The first working electrode includes glucose oxidase, a mediator and peroxidase. The second working electrode includes glucose oxidase and the mediator. The first working electrode, the second working electrode and the counter electrode are located on the base. In other embodiments, an electrochemical test sensor is adapted to measure cholesterol, lactate, pyruvate or xanthine and correct for the oxygen effect in a fluid sample.
Abstract:
A lens for a linear light source may include a top and a bottom, the bottom including an incident surface, and a first supporting surface and a second supporting surface respectively at each side of the incident surface, and the top including an emergent surface, wherein the top further comprises a total internally reflective surface, and wherein in a cross section, the emergent surface is joined with the first supporting surface, the total internally reflective surface is joined with the second supporting surface, one part of light from the linear light source incidents into the incident surface and emerges after refracted by the emergent surface, and the other part of light incidents into the incident surface and reflected by the total internally reflective surface and then emerges after refracted by the emergent surface.
Abstract:
A vaginal dilator having side blades or having upper and lower blades including accessorial blades is described. The vaginal dilator includes an upper blade, a pressing member, a lower blade and a handle. The upper and lower blades are connected by a pin. The pressing member is engaged with the handle by a first dilating fixation device. The vaginal dilator having side blades includes an arc-shaped movable locating sleeve rotationally connected with the upper blade. Each end of the sleeve is provided with a mounting base. The mounting base is provided with a joint cavity for receiving a side blade which can be retracted between the upper and lower blades. The back portion of the side blade is provided with a second dilating fixation device engaged with the back end of the upper blade or a locating buckle of the mounting base.
Abstract:
The present disclosure describes a semiconductor device including a semiconductor substrate and a gate stack disposed on the semiconductor substrate. A first spacer element is disposed on the substrate abutting the first gate stack. In an embodiment, the first spacer element includes silicon nitride. A second spacer element is adjacent the first spacer element. In an embodiment, the second spacer element includes silicon oxide. A raised source and a first raised drain is provided laterally contacting sidewalls of the second spacer element. In an embodiment, a contact directly interfaces with the second spacer element.
Abstract:
A frying-roasting device comprises a bottom base, an oil storing plate, an electric heating frying-roasting plate and an upper cover. There are bosses extending backwards at two sides of a back end of the bottom base. R-shaped orbits are included that have openings from the bosses' back end that extend toward the bosses' front lower parts. Jointed shafts extend outward at a back end of two sides of the upper cover. The jointed shafts are inserted in the r-shaped orbits to form a hinging connection. There are two blocking walls that extend from a back end to an inside of each boss. The height of the two blocking walls is lower than openings of the r-shaped orbits. When the upper cover is opened, the back connecting member is blocked by the frying-roasting plate and the two blocking walls so that the upper cover remains sloped.
