Abstract: An ink unit of a printer has a memory circuit (memory element) that includes an antenna for non-contact communication with an antenna of a transmitter/receiver.     The memory circuit has a hold mode M2 in which memory access commands from the transmitter/receiver are not received, and an active made M4 in which memory access is permitted upon receipt of a memory access command. The memory circuit shifts into active mode M4 if the identification (ID) contained in the active mode command matches its own ID when an active mode command containing the cartridge ID is received from the transmitter/receiver while in hold mode M2. A shift to an anti-collision mode M3 to check the ID occurs with the reception of an anti-collision start command from the transmitter/receiver while in hold mode M2.

Abstract: A wrap around handgrip assembly is provided for suitable installation over, for example, a handlebar of a bicycle. The handlebar grip assembly generally includes a handlebar grip which can be removably attached to a handlebar. The grip assembly when attached will not rotate around the handlebar in use, and yet is easily detached from the handlebar. The handlebar grip assembly starts out in an open position and is wrapped around a handlebar over its entire width and secured to itself in a closed position along the longitudinal edges of the grip parallel to the handlebar.  The secure closure is achieved by a plurality of rigid clamps that pass over the outwardly extending protrusions and tighten against the handlebar to hold the grip in place. The grip has a resilient inner clamp body layer which is locally flexible to allow the grip to be wrapped around the bar and thickened at regular spatial positions to allow fastening hardware to securely clamp the grip in place. A flexible, shock absorbent, soft outer hand member layer is affixed to the outer surface of the inner clamp body layer.

Abstract: Methods for quantitatively measuring the amount of an analyte of interest in a fluid sample are disclosed. The methods involve providing a membrane having an application, a contact region comprising analyte-binding particles, a sample capture zone, and a control capture zone, where the contact region is between the application point and the sample capture zone, and the sample capture region is between the contact region and the control capture zone (Figure 1).In the assays, a fluid allows transport components of the assay by capillary action through the contact region, to and through the sample capture zone and subsequently to and through the control capture zone. In a "sandwich assay" embodiment, the amount of analyte in the fluid sample is related to a corrected analyte-binding particle amount, which can be determined, for example, as a ratio of the amount of analyte-binding particles in the sample capture zone and the amount of analyte-binding particles on the control capture zone. In a "competitive assay" embodiment, the amountof analyte in the fluid sample is inversely related to a corrected analyte-coated particle amount, which can be determinedas a ratio of the amount of analyte-coated particles in the sample capture zone and the amount of analyte-coated particles in the control capture zone.
