摘要:
An electronic circuit for a contactless, piezoelectric switch assembly. The piezoelectric switch assembly includes a piezoelectric module which generates voltages under manual pressure and electronic circuit operative to perform a predetermined switch function upon receipt of these electrical signals. The electronic circuit performs a variety of switching functions, such as: toggle on and off; dimmer setting; momentary on. The sensing means of the electronic circuit is coupled to the piezoelectric module via a reference voltage and a negative current source that pulls one terminal of the piezoelectric module toward the reference voltage. A slew rate limited buffer amplifier drives a comparator with hysteresis achieved by changing the comparison voltage. This hysteresis serves to reduce detection of jitter and noise in the initial application of pressure. In the momentary on mode the reference voltage supplied to the piezoelectric module is above the second threshold of the comparator when initial manual pressure is detected. This causes the comparator to remain tripped. Upon release of pressure on the piezoelectric module, a piezoelectric signal of the opposite polarity causes the comparator to reset. In order to prevent hang up, a timer returns the reference voltage to its original level after a predetermined time.

An integrated medical testing device includes a testing meter and lancing device, the meter having a housing, a display, a test element opening, a firing mechanism and a navigation mechanism integrated with a lancing device. The lancing device is at least partially located in the housing and includes a tip having an opening through which a lancet extends upon firing. Various mechanisms can be used to extend the tip from the housing and to prime and fire the lancing device. The lancing device can accommodate a single lancet or a cartridge having multiple lancets. If a cartridge is used, various mechanisms can be utilized to position an unused lancet for firing after a test has been conducted. The relative locations of the lancing device and test element opening are such that the integrated meter and lancing device can be used with a test element inserted in the test element opening. The integrated meter and lancing device can include status indicators that reflect the state of the lancing device.

A bound component including a cover having a retaining device located thereon and a binding mechanism coupled to the cover and configured to bind a plurality of pages together. The bound component further includes an elastic strap, the elastic strap being formed in a loop or formable into a loop. The retaining device is configured to cooperate with the elastic strap to slidably couple the elastic strap to the cover and to limit the sliding motion of the elastic strap relative to the cover when the elastic strap is formed in a loop.
