摘要:
An apparatus for extracting bodily fluid (e.g., whole blood) from a user's finger includes a housing with a lancing mechanism and a clamping mechanism attached to thereto. The clamping mechanism includes a lower arm assembly and an upper arm assembly. The upper and lower arm assemblies are operatively connected such that when a user's finger applies a user force to the lower arm assembly and displaces the lower arm assembly from a first to a second position, the upper and lower arm assemblies cooperate to engage the user's finger with a compressive force that is greater than the user force. In addition, the lancing mechanism is configured to lance a target site on the user's finger while the upper and lower arm assemblies are cooperating to engage the user's finger. Thereafter, the compressive force serves to extract a bodily fluid sample from the lanced target site.
摘要:
A marine hydraulic system and method of use for reducing cyclic loading of the pump(s) and motor(s) and an amount of accumulator storage required in a hydraulic system. A closed loop logic controller comprising at least one control algorithm for each pump/motor pair utilized in a single hydraulic system is utilized to reduce load fluctuations on the motors, allow the use of common pressure compensated, variable displacement (VDH) pumps, reduce the number and/or volume of system accumulators and equalize wear throughout the system.

A method of for treating a hydrocarbon fuel comprises applying a plurality of shock waves to the fuel at a frequency and intensity such as to increase the combustion efficiency of the fuel. An apparatus for treating a hydrocarbon fuel comprises a fuel treatment chamber; an inlet for introducing a hydrocarbon fuel to be treated into the treatment chamber; an outlet for removing a treated hydrocarbon fuel from the treatment chamber; and a means for imparting a plurality of shock waves to fuel within the treatment chamber at a frequency and intensity such as to increase the combustion efficiency of the fuel. The apparatus is particularly suitable for installation in the fuel supply system of an internal combustion engine.
摘要:
Blowing devices (100) have many uses; for example, they can be used to dry, cool, clean, or move objects. These functions are often performed by human beings with limited carrying capacity and endurance; therefore, a lightweight blower (100) is desired to perform the above tasks more easily. In accordance with the example uses, the present disclosure includes a lightweight blower (100) having an upper scroll (11), a lower scroll (10), and a joint (15) where the two scrolls (10, 11) are welded together to form a strong, lightweight joint (15).
