US Classification:

422 681, 422 50, 422400, 422401, 422 62, 422502, 204409, 324438, 324439

Abstract:

A fluid sampling device () that operates by a combination of capillary action to collect a small fluid sample, and by pressure differential when inserted into an analyzer () to expose the fluid sample for testing by the analyzer (). The device is especially suited for use as a disposable blood sampling unit designed to interface with a blood analyzer, albeit the concept of the invention may be employed for sampling and testing virtually any fluids.

International Classification:

B25B 23/18

US Classification:

362119, 362109, 362120

Abstract:

A power tool including a end effector rotatable with respect to the housing, a collar rotatable with respect to the housing, a printed circuit board (PCB) rotatably fixed with respect to the housing, and a light element operatively connected to the PCB and adjacent to the end effector and in a recess of the collar and located to illuminate a workpiece machined by the power tool. A method of providing light for a workpiece being machined by a power tool including locating lighting elements around a spindle of a power tool, aligning the lighting elements to shine light on a workpiece being machined by the power tool, operatively connecting the lighting elements to a PCB, containing and supporting the PCB with a guide, supporting wires configured to provide power to the PCB with the guide, locating the lighting elements, PCB and guide in a rotatable collar, and preventing the lighting elements, PCB and guide from rotating when the collar rotates.
