A device for enabling a patient to have ready access to a daily dosage of medication placed in compartments at predetermined time periods and wherein the compartments are only accessible to the patient at predetermined time periods. The device comprises an annular plate member having a plurality of medicine receiving compartments formed adjacent the periphery thereof. Specific dosages in the form of capsules or pills are sequentially placed in selected compartments. In a preferred mode, up to four compartments are loaded in sequence to provide one dosage, up to four sequences of four compartments allowing four daily dosages to be provided. An annular top cover member is positioned over the plate member, the cover member including a window or door. The annular compartment containing member is controlled in a manner such that a selected compartment is positioned at a location under the window. When the window is so located, an alarm is energized to alert the patient that the dosage in that compartment is available for use. When the door is opened, the alarm is deactivated. An indexing mechanism is provided to rotate the plate member so that the adjacent compartment is rotated beneath the window. As the plate member is rotated, the window is automatically shut before the alarm for the next compartment is energized. A locking member is provided so that only the health provider can have access to all the compartments and thus determine if the patient has complied with the specified dosage regimen.

A microflow device for separating or isolating cells from a bodily fluid or other liquid sample uses a flow path where straight-line flow is interrupted by a pattern of transverse posts which are arranged across the width of a collection region in an irregular or set random pattern so as to disrupt streamlined flow. Sequestering agents, such as Abs, are attached to all surfaces in the collection region via a hydrophilic permeable hydrogel coating. The collection region is formed as a cavity in a body molded from PDMS, which flexible body is sandwiched between a glass slide or comparable flat plate and a rigid top cap plate, both of which are pressed into abutting relation with the PDMS body by a heat-shrunk polymeric sleeve. Following cell separation and washing, cells can be released from the sequestering agents and the device centrifuged to force said cells to collect adjacent the hydrogel-coated slide or plate. Slitting the polymeric sleeve allows the body to then be peeled from the slide or plate, using an integral tab, to expose the separated cells on the top surface thereof for ready microscopic examination.

A portable battery jump start having a case having soft sides and a soft top cover configured to be selectively closed and opened. The sides of the case are joined to one another by seams that may be taped to become watertight. A first seal is configured for selectively connecting the top cover to the sides. The first seal can include a waterproof zipper. A rigid insert member is disposed inside the case and defines a center compartment, a left compartment and a right end compartment. A battery is snuggly disposed in the center compartment. Each clamp in a pair of electrical clamps is connected to the battery by one of the cables in a pair of cables and stored in one of the end compartments. A control module is disposed in the center compartment and electrically connected to the battery so as to permit selective supply of electricity from the battery to the cables. The battery and control module are protected from impact by being surrounded top and bottom with various pads and around the sides by the insert member.

A capacitive interposer (caposer) is disposed inside an integrated circuit package between a die and an inside surface of the package. Conductive layers within the caposer constitute a bypass capacitor. In a through-hole caposer, micro-bumps on the die pass through through-holes in the caposer and contact corresponding landing pads on the package. As they pass through the caposer, power and ground micro-bumps make contact with the plates of the bypass capacitor. In a via caposer, power and ground micro-bumps on the die are coupled to power and ground landing pads on the package as well as to the plates of the bypass capacitor by power and ground vias that extend through the caposer. In signal redistribution caposer, conductors within the caposer redistribute signals between die micro-bumps and package landing pads. In an impedance matching caposer, termination structures within the caposer provide impedance matching to a printed circuit board trace.

A pneumatic pogo stick is comprised of an elongate cylindrical housing which forms a cylinder. The housing is formed from a clear polycarbonate plastic. A top cap is attached to one end of the housing to form the top of an air chamber. A plastic piston, slidable within the cylinder, forms the bottom of the air chamber.

A bottom bracket assembly is attached to the bottom of the housing and a bushing for maintaining the lateral position of the shaft relative to the housing is attached to the bottom bracket assembly. The bushing prevents the shaft from rotating relative to the housing. User foot supports are also attached to the bottom bracket for supporting the feet of the user and handle bars are attached to the top cap for grasping with the hands of a user.
