Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide transaction validation systems and methods for use in self-checkout at a retail establishment. An exemplary system may include a scale sized to support and weigh a shopping basket thereon. At least one image sensor is arranged to capture at least one image of the weighed shopping basket. A processor receives a weight measurement of the shopping basket from the scale and determines, based on information received from a wireless communications device of a customer, a record of products in the shopping basket and an expected cumulative weight associated with the products in the shopping basket. The processor determines a discrepancy between the weight measurement of the products in the shopping basket and the expected cumulative weight and reconciles the determined discrepancy using the at least one captured image of the shopping basket by the at least one image sensor.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the present disclosure are directed generally to systems and methods for delivering an implant to a body vessel of a patient. Such disclosed implants may be a monofilament implant, and disclosed systems for implanting the implant may be automatic. Some embodiments may enable retraction of said implant back into the delivery system following partial exteriorization of the implant from the delivery system. Some embodiments may be configured for retraction of said implant from the patient's body following complete exteriorization of the implant from the delivery system. Some of the embodiments are directed at delivering a monofilament implant for preventing embolic stroke. Other embodiments are directed at preventing pulmonary embolism, occluding a body vessel such as the left atrial appendage, occluding a body passageway such as a patent foramen ovalae, stenting a body vessel, or releasing a local therapeutic agent such as a drug or ionizing radiation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a portable therapeutic fluid dispensing device. The fluid dispensing device includes a reusable part (100) comprising a reusable part housing including at least a controller and a first portion (186) of a driving mechanism, and a disposable part (200) comprising a disposable part housing including at least a reservoir (220) to retain therapeutic fluid, an outlet port to which the therapeutic fluid is dispensed, a fluid conduit providing fluid communication between the reservoir and the outlet port, and a second portion (112) of the driving mechanism. At least a portion of the disposable part housing defines at least a portion of the reservoir. Also, the second portion of the driving mechanism is mechanically couplable to the first portion of the driving mechanism upon connection of the disposable part to the reusable part.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to devices, systems and methods for increasing the accuracy of delivery of a fluid/drug in a fluid/drug delivery device/system. In some embodiments, a fluid infusion device is provided for delivering a drug into the body of a user, and includes at least one housing, a reservoir, a plunger and a drive-screw, where the drive-screw includes a first end and a second end, the first end being configured to operatively connect to the plunger. The device may further include a driving mechanism comprising at least a motor and one or more gears, where the one or more gears include a rotating sleeve configured for engagement with the second end of the drive-screw, a controller for at least controlling operation of the driving mechanism, and a support casing configured to substantially support the rotating sleeve and enable substantially free rotation of the rotating sleeve therein.
