  • Patent number: 10646664
    Abstract: An injector for delivering a therapeutic product may include a base having a flexible surface that conforms to various body contours of a patient and defines one or more an injection chambers. The injector may have a height that is substantially less than its width, thereby defining a low profile, which provides a larger more stable base that can pinch or stretch the skin in a controlled manner. The larger base can also accommodate larger volumes via multiple injection chambers and/or large combined primary containers.

  • Patent number: 10645087
    Abstract: Systems and methods for cloud based computing systems and, more particularly, techniques for providing centralized user access to network connected computing systems are disclosed. A method for handling access commands originating from at least one source application utilizing a first format, to at least one destination application utilizing a second format is disclosed. The method comprises receiving an access command from a user using at least one source application, and determining a type for the access command based on a data payload. Generating an action based on the type for the access command and the data payload, and translating the data payload into a common format, wherein the common format is determined using the first format and the second format. Lastly, responding to the access command using the translated data payload and action, wherein the response addresses the request for user access to the network connected computing systems.

  • Patent number: 10625018
    Abstract: An insertion mechanism (200) for a drug pump (10, 1300) includes an insertion mechanism (200) housing (202, 1202, 2202, 3202); a sleeve (220, 1220, 2220, 3220); a rotational biasing member (210, 1210, 2210, 3210) initially held in an energized state; a retraction biasing member (216, 1216, 2216, 3216) and a hub (212, 1212, 2212, 3212) connected to a proximal end of a needle (214, 1214, 2214, 3214), wherein the retraction biasing member (216, 1216, 2216, 3216) is held initially in an energized state between the hub (212, 1212, 2212, 3212) and the sleeve (220, 1220, 2220, 3220). The needle (214, 1214, 2214, 3214) is inserted into a target tissue by the rotational biasing member (210, 1210, 2210, 3210) and interaction between the hub (212, 1212, 2212, 3212) and housing (202, 1202, 2202, 3202). Retraction of the needle (214, 1214, 2214, 3214) is caused by decompressing or de-energizing of the retraction biasing member (216, 1216, 2216, 3216).
