Abstract: The present disclosure relates to medicament injection devices. An injection device includes: a movable dosage programming component comprising a rotary encoder system having a predefined angular periodicity, a sensor arrangement including a first optical sensor configured to detect movement of the movable dosage programming component relative to the sensor arrangement during dosing of a medicament, wherein the first optical sensor is configured to operate in a strobe-sampling mode at a first frequency, a second optical sensor configured to detect movement of the rotary encoder system relative to the second optical sensor wherein the second optical sensor is configured to operate in a strobe-sampling mode at a second frequency lower than the first frequency, and a processor arrangement configured to, based on the detected movement, determine a medicament dosage administered by the injection device.

Abstract: A spool valve for controlling the flow of a fluid into a reciprocating piston cylinder. A spool is slideably inserted into an outer casing, the spool valve having a first and a second non-waisted end portions and having a waisted middle portion. The casing has an intake port and output port for fluids entering and exiting the casing. A first non-waisted end portion covers the intake port during a first valve-closed event as the spool slides in one direction within the casing. The waisted middle portion is sufficiently wide to uncover both the intake port and the output port during a valve-open event as the spool slides in one direction within the casing. A second non-waisted end portion covers the output port during a second valve-closed event as the spool slides in the same one direction within the casing.

Abstract: A suturing device is provided that includes a suture positioning assembly that is slidably attachable to a sheath, a housing of the assembly includes a nose, a primary suture with connectors, an end effector, and an end effector actuator, an intravascular tip with a blood contact indicator on the nose, a slide limiter, and a fascia receiving surface, the intravascular tip is configured for insertion into the artery when disposed beneath a fascial layer, the fascia receiving surface is configured for accepting a perimeter edge of a dilated hole of the fascial layer, the housing nose further includes an intermediary suture having intermediary suture connectors, the primary suture connecters are configured for connection to the intermediary suture connectors, the end effector actuator is disposed to operate the end effector to condition the facial layer hole in a position for suturing by the intermediary suture connected to the primary suture.

Abstract: A catheter interface protection device can include a shield. The shield can include an open bottom, a transparent upper surface, sidewalls, and a cavity at least partially defined by the bottom, the upper surface, and the sidewalls. The device can include a vent. The device can include a clip, a tether, and a latch. A non-therapeutic method of protecting a catheter interface can include extending a catheter in the subject through a slot in a catheter interface protection device, wrapping the catheter at least partially around a clip of the catheter interface protection device, and securing a latch of the catheter interface protection device around the clip. A device for positioning a subject in a prone position can include a padded area including an opening configured to accommodate a catheter interface protection device.

Abstract: A tissue engagement and suturing device is provided that includes a tissue capture and engagement assembly that is slidably attachable or integrated with an access sheath, a tissue support structure of the engagement assembly includes a deformable support shelf, and an echogenic location feature, the deformable support shelf provides a surface on which a tissue layer may be secured during manipulation or suturing, the support shelf may be deformed to lay flush with the access sheath during transit into and out of a body lumen, the echogenic location feature is configured relative to the support shelf to provide visual indication of the position of the support shelf relative to a facial layer using traditional non-invasive imaging techniques.

Abstract: A folder and method of making a panel with a plurality of foldable tab extensions. The extensions include first and second regions extending away from the panel, and having scored fold lines therebetween. The uppermost tab region has a releasable adhesive as does a portion of the panel. The panel has a releasable coating or surface such when the tab extensions are folded, either at the first or second region along the fold lines, adhesive on the second region will mate with surface on the panel. To reduce memory effect at the fold, the score lines can be triple scored by parallel two or three parallel score lines. The central score line can be shallower than the parallel scores on either side thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining relationship compatibility are disclosed. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method utilizes personality information provided by acquaintances of a subject user to match personality traits of other users. The systems and methods described herein can be used, e.g., as part of an online dating website, users are matched, in part, based on referral information provided by acquaintances.

Abstract: A camp hammock in which the fabric of the hammock bed is cut in such a way that once the hammock is suspended between to points it allows areas of the diagonal axis of the hammock, where the occupants head and lower legs will be positioned, to hang lower than the opposing diagonal axis which crosses under the occupants lower torso. Once the fabric gives under the torso, the legs are now inline. This hammock can also be enclosed with a top enclosure to trap body heat and a bed liner that will hold an insulating pad with side pockets to hold clothing that will act to retain heat while camping in cold temperatures. This hammock may also have a gear loft attached to the ridgeline seam for storing gear. A rain fly with an adjustable peak and end walls with rain sleeves protects the hammock in wet weather.
