Abstract: A sealed speaker enclosure for a bass speaker that is hand-insertable and removable from a hard-side motorcycle saddlebag. The body of the enclosure complements the interior space of the saddlebag making sealing contact with the interior walls of the saddlebag. The bass speaker faces the motorcycle side of the saddlebag within the shock absorber tower indentation overlapping and opening. A speaker grill overlays the opening in the shock absorber tower indentation of the saddlebag.

Abstract: A transdermal permeant delivery of at least one permeant composition into a tissue membrane of a subject including a disposable substrate having at least a portion of a bottom surface of a first release liner connected to an upper surface of the substrate and a patch having a backing layer and a reservoir that is selectively removable from the top surface of the first release liner. In a connected position, a first portion of the backing layer of the patch is releaseably mounted to a top surface of the first release liner in spaced registration with a poration area of the substrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for collecting and preparing a body fluid sample, the system comprising a sample container (10) comprising a sample cup (38) for receiving the sample, said sample cup comprising graduated indicator markings (14) corresponding to equal increments of sample volume, a removable lid (16) for sealably covering said sample cup, said lid having an access point which is sealed by a septum, and a removable cap (22) which is effective to cover said access point, and a delivery device for containing a plurality of predetermined reagent doses which are to be added to a sample within the sample container in the predetermined doses relative to the volume of the sample.

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.

Abstract: A medication dispensing apparatus having a manually operable plunger axially shiftable relative to the apparatus housing. The plunger is pullable relative to the housing in a proximal direction to cock the apparatus, and when the plunger is then manually pushed back toward the housing, a piston within a medicine container of the apparatus is shifted to force medication from a needle assembly at the distal end of the apparatus. The medication dispensing apparatus also includes a priming mechanism which is operated by rotating an externally accessible driver portion to prime the apparatus for use, which priming can be performed whether or not the apparatus is in a cocked state.

Abstract: A kit and needle assembly for reconstituting a quantity of a lyophilized pharmaceutical. The kit of the invention may include a reconstituting appliance having a non-transparent needle covering portion with a hollow adapted to receive the inserted stoppered end of the injection pen cartridge, which needle covering portion extends around a side-firing cannula to hide the cannula from side view. A shiftable alignment member retained within the needle covering portion at a first axial position, and shiftable to a second axial position when abutted by the injection pen cartridge during its insertion, may be included. The kit includes an injection pen cartridge including a barrel filled with a quantity of a lyophilized drug, a slidable plunger used during pen operation to eject the reconstituted drug, and a stopper penetrable by the cannula during drug reconstituting.

Abstract: A prefilled injection apparatus for multiple dosings of medication. The protective housing element into which is installed the mechanical drive mechanism used to force the medication from the apparatus extends forward to provide a volume in which is directly contained a multi-dose quantity of medicine, and the medicine is sealed between a movable piston and a septum each in fluid tight engagement with the protective housing element. This design advantageously eliminates the need for using a separate cartridge within the apparatus. A method of making a cartridge-free, multi-dose injection apparatus is also disclosed.
