  • Publication number: 20240115810
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to medicament injection devices. An injection device includes: a movable dosage programming component comprising a rotary encoder system having a predefined angular periodicity, a sensor arrangement including a first optical sensor configured to detect movement of the movable dosage programming component relative to the sensor arrangement during dosing of a medicament, wherein the first optical sensor is configured to operate in a strobe-sampling mode at a first frequency, a second optical sensor configured to detect movement of the rotary encoder system relative to the second optical sensor wherein the second optical sensor is configured to operate in a strobe-sampling mode at a second frequency lower than the first frequency, and a processor arrangement configured to, based on the detected movement, determine a medicament dosage administered by the injection device.

  • Patent number: 11562140
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for deploying a configuration at a network device. The deployment of the configuration includes, receiving an indication that a particular configuration of a computing component is to be deployed, extracting grammar data from the computing component, the grammar data including commands used to deploy the particular configuration of the computing component and restrictions corresponding to a subset of the commands, generating a template used to deploy the particular configuration, determining, from the grammar data, a variable that is currently undetermined and included in the particular configuration, obtaining the variable, incorporating the variable into the template, and deploying the particular configuration based on the template.

  • Patent number: 9904910
    Abstract: A system controlled responsive at least in part to data read from data bearing records is operative to cause vehicle repair parts to be determined and furnished. Data read by a reader from a tag associated with a damaged vehicle is used to determine vehicle identifying data. A repair estimate calculation circuit (RECC) operates responsive to the read data to produce a needed parts record (NPR). The records produced by the RECC are operative to cause a vehicle repair entity (VRE) to be furnished the vehicle repair parts.

  • Patent number: 8615441
    Abstract: Technologies described herein relate to automated order routing. A consumer can place an order for a product with a first retailer, wherein the first retailer is the preferred retailer of the consumer. If the first retailer fails to commit to fulfilling the order within a threshold amount of time, at least one other retailer is selected, and the order for the product is automatically routed to the at least one other retailer. The first retailer that commits to fulfilling the order acquires the sale.
