Abstract: A drive train for a wind-up injection device is described. The drive train includes a torsional energy storage adapted to be loaded or unloaded by a rotatable element, a rotatable user handle, a rotationally driveable expelling mechanism adapted to expel the liquid drug, and a clutch element coupled with the torsional energy storage via the rotatable element and including a ratchet for maintaining the rotatable element at one of a number of discrete angular positions against the torque of the torsional energy storage. The clutch element is adapted to transmit the torque from the user handle to the torsional energy storage, or alternatively from the torsional energy storage to the expelling mechanism. The ratchet is switchable from one position to an adjacent position by a torque transmitted from the user handle to the torsional energy storage. The drive train is adapted to dampen torque peaks visco-elastically and/or visco-frictionally.

Abstract: Female fiber optic connectors having a weatherproofing collar disposed rearward of a connection port opening that receives a fiber optic plug along with cable assemblies comprising the female fiber optic connector and with methods of making the same. The female fiber optic connectors comprise an actuator such as a rocker latch arm or the like disposed under the weatherproofing collar used for releasing or securing an external fiber optic plug that may be received in the connection port. The weatherproofing collar protects the actuator such as the rocker arm latch and surrounding area from dirt, debris, moisture and the like from ingress into the connector. One or more end caps may be used with the weatherproofing collar. The weatherproofing collar allows for a ruggedized fiber optic connector having a quick connect and release mechanism for the external fiber optic plug connector mated to the female fiber optic connector.

Abstract: A button for a drug delivery device with a reduced operating loudness includes a plate-like button body forming a touch surface, wherein the plate-like button body is coupled by an axial supporting member to a noise-generating interface of the drug delivery device and movable into a longitudinal direction of the drug delivery device, wherein the plate-like button body includes a material composite with at least one first component consisting of a first material and at least one second component consisting of a second material different from the first material, wherein the at least one first component and the at least one second component are coupled via at least one coupling plane that is at least sectionwise slanted or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Further, the disclosure describes a button assembly for a drug delivery device which is shock resistant.

Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure relate to message compliance analysis. A computing platform may access historical messages. The computing platform may pre-process the historical messages to configure the historical messages for use in training a disclaimer model to identify whether or not input messages include a disclaimer. The computing platform may train, using the pre-processed historical messages, the disclaimer model. The computing platform may receive a new message. The computing platform may input, into the disclaimer model, the new message, which may produce a disclaimer score indicating a likelihood that the new message includes a disclaimer. The computing platform may compare the disclaimer score to a disclaimer threshold. Based on identifying that the disclaimer score meets or exceeds the disclaimer threshold, the computing platform may remove, from a set of messages scheduled for compliance review, the new message, and send, to an intended recipient of the new message, the new message.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a foam-in-bag dispensing system, including a dispensing apparatus operative to dispense foam precursor, the foam precursor being configured for expanding and solidifying into a polymeric foam, to a dispensing location between first and second web plies extending respectively on first and second sides of the dispensing apparatus; and a bag-status indicator associated for providing an indication to the operator indicative of the readiness of the bag for removal from the device for avoiding premature bag removal.
