Abstract: An insertion/retraction mechanism for a drug delivery device is disclosed. The insertion/retraction mechanism includes a retraction hub, an insertion hub, an insertion/retraction mechanism housing, and a dual torsion spring system. The retraction hub includes a first primary rotational stop and a second primary rotational stop extending radially inwardly from an inside surface. The insertion hub is disposed inside the retraction hub and comprises a first complementary rotational stop and a second complementary rotational stop extending radially outwardly from an outside surface.

Abstract: A method and apparatus service a print head by translating a first web support relative to a second web support to adjust a length of a web extending between the first support and the second support.

Abstract: A restraining system is configured to secure and release a rider's footwear to a vehicle footrest in response to inputs to a control interface. The vehicle is typically a motorcycle or bicycle. In the case of a motorcycle, a rider's boot is restrained to a motorcycle foot peg by the action of a restraining device. Exemplary restraining device embodiments include an electromagnet or a mechanical latch. The control interface may be located on the motorcycle handlebar or on the rider's helmet. The rider can provide the inputs directly to the control interface. Alternatively, the inputs may be received from a wireless source.

Abstract: A disclosed device and method are useful for monitoring a tube bending process. An example sensor detects a force associated with moving a mandrel in tubing during at least a portion of a tube bending process. The detected force is used to determine a quality of the tube bending process. For example, a detected pulling force provides an indication of whether a bent portion of a tube is within an acceptable range of a desired configuration. The detected pulling force is also useful to provide an indication of whether a condition of a mandrel or a machine used during the process is as expected.
