A radiator core support structure comprises a radiator core support and a heat exchanger. The former has a through-hole, and a fixing hole on its the lower portion. The latter has a pipe projecting rearward and introduceable in the through-hole and a lower mounting pin projecting downward from its bottom portion. The fixing hole is formed as an elongate hole extending toward the front side so that the pipe can be kept free from an interference between the pipe and the radiator core support when the lower mounting pin is inserted in a front side of the fixing hole and the heat exchanger is turned rearward around the front side of the fixing hole to stand erect. Then, the fixing hole allows the mounting pin to be slid rearward for introducing the pipe through the through-hole.

Receiver apparatus for use with an analyte sensor, and methods of operation and manufacturing. In one embodiment, the analyte sensor is an implanted/implantable blood glucose sensor, including oxygen-based detector elements. The receiver apparatus is a wireless-enabled small form-factor device with limited functionality that can be easily worn or kept with the user on a continual basis, thereby obviating the need for a more fully featured receiver or smartphone for extended periods of time (e.g., one week). The exemplary oxygen based analyte sensor, with high degree of stability over time, enables the user to divorce themselves from the more fully functioned receiver or smartphone, since no external calibration of the sensor is required during the extended period. In one variant, the device is a lightweight wristband. Other variants include e.g., pendants, finger-worn rings, arm or head bands, skin patches, and even dental, subcutaneous, or prosthetic implants.

TOF system optical power is augmented using auxiliary optical emitter unit(s) that may be a wireless (WOE), or a plug-wired (PWOE). WOE units sense emitted TOF system optical energy S_out and emit optical energy S_out-n preferably dynamically synchronized in frequency and in phase to S_out as received by the WOE. Each WOE includes at least one optical sensor to detect S_out, and internal feedback ensuring that frequency and phase of the WOE emitted S_out-n optical energy are dynamically synchronized with frequency and phase of the TOF emitted S_out optical energy. PWOE units need no internal feedback but are calibrated by the TOF system to cause a close match between frequency and phase of the PWOE-emitted optical energy with what would be emitted by the TOF system primary optical source. If PWOE(s) are used in isolation, delay difference between PWOE and the TOF primary optical energy source can be software-compensated.
