Patent number: 11973530Abstract: A system includes a network node device operable to dynamically connect to different networks and different types of networks based on factors including latency and noise levels in each network. The system allows for low power transmission of data packets as well as obfuscation of transferred data packets by splitting packets for a single file across multiple nodes in a mesh network, where the mesh network then recombines the signals to externally convey the data. The system leverages the use of LoRa communication across one or more networks to communicate critical data, such as location data for particular devices, at long ranges with minimized risk of detection.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2023Date of Patent: April 30, 2024Assignee: SOMEWEAR LABS, INC.Inventors: Alan Besquin, James Kubik, Diego Lozano Trevino, Braden Young, Rachel Carandang

Publication number: 20240082493Abstract: Fluid delivery devices for delivering therapeutic agents are described. More particularly, this disclosure relates to drug reconstitution devices having a plurality of components movable with respect to one another such that an active agent and a solvent can be reconstituted within the device prior to injection. The fluid delivery devices can include a housing, a cartridge holder, a cartridge disposed within the cartridge holder, a button rod, and a foot. The cartridge stores the active agent and the solvent, which are separated by one or more stoppers. The button rod and foot can provide an axial force upon the stopper(s) in the cartridge to inject the fluid once reconstituted. The foot and the button rod can be separate components, thereby enabling the foot to rotate independently with respect to the button rod as the cartridge holder is rotated to reconstitute the therapeutic and prime the device for injection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2021Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: TAKEDA PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY LIMITEDInventors: Shekhar NIMKAR, Arnaz MALHI, William G.
