Patent number: 11904127Abstract: An applicator for an analyte monitoring device may include an actuatable housing having a body defining a cavity therein and having a distal opening and a side opening. A cuff and a shuttle are received within the cavity and are separately translatable relative to the housing body. A base may removable engage the housing body at the distal opening. The housing body, the cuff, the shuttle, and/or the base may be engaged with one another with one or more releasable coupling features. The base may be removed from an engagement with the housing body, causing the cuff and the shuttle to be aligned and positioned in a configuration in which the analyte monitoring device, held by the shuttle, is ready for insertion into the skin.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2023Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Biolinq IncorporatedInventors: George Albert Mansfield, III, David Michael Morelock, Mark Christopher Brister, Nathan Thomas Balcom, Joshua David Doan, Joshua Andrew Warner

Publication number: 20210393201Abstract: A device and method for the insertion of an analyte-selective microneedle array sensor into a dermal stratum of a user is disclosed herein. The device comprises a body portion, a recessed actuation portion, a carrier, a gating feature, and a disengagement feature. A user-directed application of a specified force to the actuation area causes the carrier to overcome the gating feature, thereby to effect the acceleration of the microneedle array sensor device towards the skin surface of a user with a specified impact force and velocity.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicant: Biolinq, Inc.Inventors: David Michael Morelock, Scott James Sylliaasen, George Albert Mansfield, III, Pradnya Prakash Samant, Buddhadev Paul Chaudhuri, Andre Gamelin, Jared Rylan Tangney, Joshua Windmiller

Publication number: 20040070238Abstract: An ergonomic shower chair with built in bidet, comprising an ergonomic seat portion, an ergonomic back portion with lumbar support, and a bidet portion. Water enters the bidet portion by holding a hand-held showerhead against the main opening of the bidet portion, and is sprayed towards the user's perineal area through bidet nozzles positioned within holes along a longitudinal groove in the seat portion. Because these holes have inner diameters that are wider than the outer diameters of the bidet nozzles, water is drained away through the interstices between the hole walls and the bidet nozzles. The seat portion includes additional drainage holes for fast drainage.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2003Publication date: April 15, 2004Applicant: Mo-Bility Inc.Inventors: Scott Andrew Moser, George Albert Mansfield, Richard Dean Traver
