Eyewear with a replaceable lens include an elongate center member, a pair of temple arms, and a pair of connecting members. Each connecting member is secured to one of the temple arms and to the center member, and has a slot formed in a surface thereof. A lens is received in the slots of the connecting members, with a rear surface of the lens along an upper edge of the lens being spaced from the center member so as to form a gap therebetween. A nosepiece may be secured to a lower edge of the lens.

Embodiments provide a sensor insertion tool (SIT) that provides a motive force for insertion of an analyte sensor into/through skin. A SIT may be releasably locked to one or more components of a sensor insertion system, such that components of the sensor insertion system remain securely coupled during sensor insertion. A SIT may include a release member that unlocks or uncouples the SIT and the other components after sensor insertion. In various embodiments, a SIT may be a component of a sensor insertion system configured for assembly by an end user, a health care professional, and/or a caretaker prior to sensor insertion, and may act in cooperation with other sensor insertion system components. Additional components and methods of assembly and use are also provided herein.

摘要:
A device and method for delivering a device such as a sensor or fluid transport structure or a fluid transport structure sensor combination into, for example, animal skin. Such a device utilizes an introducer device such as a needle or trocar to puncture skin and allow a sensor to enter through the resultant skin puncture. A device in accordance with embodiments of the present invention includes a housing for mounting to animal skin including an opening for receiving both the distal end of an analyte sensor and the end of an introducer, an actuator device for forcing the introducer from a first position within the housing, through the exit port to a second position, with sufficient force to puncture skin.

The plurality of nano-layers has different characteristics from one another. A method of making a wear resistant coating is provided. The method includes the steps of providing a substrate; disposing a hard backing; and disposing a plurality of nano-layers on the hard backing.
摘要:
A thermal barrier coating and deposition process for a component intended for use in a hostile thermal environment, such as the turbine, combustor and augmentor components of a gas turbine engine. The TBC has a first coating portion on at least a first surface portion of the component. The first coating portion is formed of a ceramic material to have at least an inner region, at least an outer region overlying the inner region, and a columnar microstructure whereby the inner and outer regions comprise columns of the ceramic material. The columns of the inner region are more closely spaced than the columns of the outer region so that the inner region of the first coating portion is denser than the outer region of the first coating portion, wherein the higher density of the inner region promotes the impact resistance of the first coating portion.

Zirconia-containing ceramic compositions that are capable of providing thermal barrier coatings wherein the zirconia is stabilized in the cubic crystalline phase. These compositions comprise at least about 50 mole % zirconia and a stabilizing amount up to about 49 mole % of a stabilizer component comprising: (1) a first metal oxide selected from the group consisting of ytterbia, neodymia, mixtures of ytterbia and neodymia, mixtures of ytterbia and lanthana, mixtures of neodymia and lanthana, and mixtures of ytterbia, neodymia and lanthana in an amount of from about 5 to about 49 mole % of the composition; and (2) a second metal oxide selected from the group consisting of yttria, calcia, ceria, scandia, magnesia, india and mixtures thereof in an amount of about 4 mole % or less of the composition. The ceramic composition further comprises one or more of a third metal oxide selected from the group consisting of: (a) hafnia in an amount from about 0.5 to about 40 mole % of the composition; and (b) tantala in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 10 mole % of the composition. These compositions are useful in preparing thermal barrier coatings for an underlying substrate of articles that operate at, or are exposed to, high temperatures.
摘要:
A spill resistant lid includes a sealing bead in pressure contact with the inside wall of a container to be closed when the lid is in sealing position with respect to the container to substantially seal the container. The lid includes a first cylindrical wall and a second cylindrical wall spaced apart to form a receiving channel for the top of a container to be sealed. A ridge extends into the channel from the first cylindrical wall to hold the lid in place. The sealing bead extends into the channel from the second cylindrical wall. A central lid portion closes the area inside the second cylindrical wall and applies sealing pressure to the bead. In a preferred embodiment a third cylindrical wall in the central lid portion is joined to the second cylindrical wall by a web. The relative positions of the second cylindrical wall, the web, and the third cylindrical wall are deformed when the lid is in sealing position on the container and such deformation causes the bead to apply sealing pressure to the inside container wall. The central lid portion also preferably includes a container bottom platform and container receiving groove or secondary container platform for receiving and holding the bottom of a container stacked on the lid.
摘要:
A spill resistant lid to be secured over the open top of a container to resist spilling of the container contents from the open top of the container includes a central lid portion extending over the open top of the container. A raised portion, such as a drinking mouthpiece, extends above the central lid portion and a deformable section, such as a cylindrical section, extends downwardly from the raised portion toward the central lid portion. The deformable section is at least partially separable from the central lid portion so it can be deformed in an over center manner or other manner such that deformation of the deformable section toward the raised portion results in the deformable section assuming a stable open position exposing an opening or hole through the lid into the container and deformation of the deformable section from open position results in the deformable section assuming a stable closed position over the opening or hole.
