  • Patent number: 10179536
    Abstract: An illumination apparatus is described that includes a set of illumination components. The illumination apparatus also includes a housing structure having an overall width and an overall length. The housing structure includes a cavity to house the set of illumination components, which is defined by, at least, a first lateral wall of the housing structure and a second lateral wall of the housing structure that each extends along the overall length, and a base of the housing structure. The housing structure includes a set of openings on the base, where each opening extends from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall.

  • Patent number: 9999127
    Abstract: A device is described having a body and a connector assembly. The connector assembly is positioned at one end of the body and includes a set of contacts and a cover having a façade. The cover also has a set of openings to enable at least a portion of the set of contacts to be exposed on the façade. The cover is at least partially moveable inwards towards the set of contacts when force is applied to the façade.

  • Patent number: 7988660
    Abstract: A fluid injecting device (30) generally including a fluid delivery assembly (32) and a needle-free injecting assembly (34). The fluid delivery assembly (32) delivers or transfers the fluid medicine from a cartridge (40) into the needle-free injecting assembly (34) for injecting into a patient. A drive train (112) applies a force to a piston (64) inside the cartridge (40) during the delivery of the fluid to the needle-free injecting assembly (34) to prevent adhesion or static friction between the piston (64) and the cartridge (40). In addition, sensors can be used to help ensure the proper amount of dosage is transferred to the needle-free injecting assembly, conserve power, reduce leakage during disassembly, among other functions.
