Abstract: A gearbox includes a planetary gearset, an input shaft coupled to a sun gear of the planetary gearset, and an output shaft coupled to planet gears of the planetary gearset via a carrier. A constant torsion spring is coupled to a ring gear of the planetary gearset. The constant torsion spring is capable of preventing the ring gear from moving when a torque at the output shaft is below a threshold. The ring gear winds the constant torsion spring in response to the torque exceeding the threshold.

Abstract: An electrochromic display module employing a unique combination of architecture and electrochromic composition to provide an extended life to the module. The architecture may involve the use of an extended seal about a perimeter of a display portion where the composition is located. In this manner, the rate of solvent leakage from the composition may be substantially reduced. Additionally, the electrochromic composition itself may make use of particular low volatility solvents and constituent combinations so as to discourage the amount particle generation therein. Ultimately, an electrochromic display module having a useful life of more than about 3 years may be provided.

Abstract: A system and method for monitored administration of medical products to patients. In one implementation, the system includes: an RFID tag article disposable on or in proximity to a patient, including a first RFID tag containing first information relevant to administration of medical product to the patient; a medical product labeled with a second RFID tag containing second information relevant to administration of the medical product to the patient; a reader arranged to receive signals from at least one of the first and second RFIDs; and a controller operatively coupleable in communication with the reader to process information received by the reader and to responsively generate an output relating to treatment of the patient.
