A stowable dish drying rack system includes a mount for attachment to a bottom surface of a cabinet. A plate support is attached to the mount and is extendable vertically downwardly from the mount in a deployed position. The plate support receives vertically orientated plates such to facilitate drying of the plates. The plate support is positionable in a horizontal orientation in a stored position when the plate support is free of the plates.

Stowable dish drying rack system

A device and method for lancing a patient, virtually simultaneously producing and collecting a small fluid sample from a body. The device comprises a blood collection system including a lancing needle (), drive mechanism (), kneading or vibration mechanism (), optional suction system (), and sample ejection mechanism. The device is preferably sized to be hand-held in one hand and operable with one hand. The device can optionally contain integral testing or analysis component () for receiving the sample and providing testing or analysis indication or readout for the user. A method involves piercing the skin at a rapid rate, kneading the surrounding area by ultrasonic action, piezoelectric or mechanical oscillation to stimulate the blood flow from the wound, drawing the fluid using a pumping system.
