摘要:
The invention is directed to an integrated device for sampling and testing an analyte. The device generally comprises a housing, a lancing device for sampling an analyte, a test strip for substantially capturing at least a portion of the analyte, and a display unit for displaying a result corresponding to the captured portion of the analyte. The invention is further directed to methods for sampling and testing. For example, one method comprises performing a single operation to sample an analyte, to capture the sampled analyte, to perform testing on the sampled analyte, and to display a result corresponding to the performed test. A method such as this can be carried out using an integrated sampling and testing device of the invention, for example, by placing the device the device on a test site of a subject, such as a patient, and performing the single operation to obtain a test result. The invention has particular application in the sampling and testing of analytes in blood, such as the blood of a diabetic patient.

摘要:
A method and an apparatus for automatically replacing a used polishing pad in a chemical mechanical polishing system are described. A controller places a mechanical device against the used polishing pad while the pad is on the polishing platen and activates a pad chucking mechanism that affixes the used pad to the mechanical device. The controller then moves the mechanical device and the pad toward a used pad receptacle, where the pad chucking mechanism is deactivated to release the used pad into the receptacle. The controller then places the mechanical device against a clean polishing pad in a clean pad dispenser and reactivates the pad chucking mechanism to affix the clean pad to the mechanical device. The mechanical device and the clean pad are moved toward the platen, where the pad chucking mechanism is deactivated to release the clean polishing pad onto the platen.
