Inventor: CLARK RICHARD A
IPC: H01R4/60
Filed: 2005-11-03
Abstract: An extendable molding unit (300) contains a conductor (135) and an adjustable corner assembly (302) for adapting the unit for use in a straight configuration or in a bent configuration. Telescopically arranged conduits (55, 75) allow the length of the unit to be adjusted, with an intermediate section (137) of the conductor effective to accommodate a change in length of the conduits. Two joints (308, 310) provide freedom of rotation about the conductor axis on opposed sides of an angled joint (312) that provides freedom of rotation about an axis disposed at a 45~ angle to the axis of the conductor. This combination permits the unit to be configured to pass around both inside and outside corners, as well as to form upward and downward right angles along a straight wall.

Title: Blood test apparatus and method of controlling the same
Inventor: FUJIWARA MASAKI
IPC: A61B5/157
Filed: 2007-03-22
Abstract: A blood test apparatus having a simple constitution whereby stable measurement can be conducted by surely sampling the blood in an amount being small but sufficient for the test without placing too much burden on a patient. When a first skin contact sensor of this apparatus detects the skin, driving of a negative pressure unit is initiated (time point 166a). Thus, the skin rises and comes into contact with a second skin contact sensor (time point 166b). After piercing into the skin at time point 166c, the negative pressure supply is once ceased. Next, the negative pressure is applied again at time point 166d for a definite period of time. Thus, the opening in the skin is broadened, which facilitates the flow out of the blood (16).
