  • Publication number: 20210374938
    Abstract: Techniques for determining a state of an object are discussed herein. In some implementations, a state sensing device may be capable of sensing and/or helping determine a state of an object. A state of an object may include various information about a physical object, such as a position and/or location of the object, a condition of the object, how the object relates to one or more other objects, etc. This disclosure may also be directed to providing a certification of the state of the object. For instance, the state sensing device may help provide a degree of confidence in the determined state of the object.

  • Patent number: 10166590
    Abstract: A method of forming a part includes: inserting a blank into a die, the die comprising a mold mounted above a sealing counterpart; clamping the blank between the mold and the sealing counterpart; applying first pressure on the blank from the sealing counterpart so the blank is pressed upward to form a shaped part corresponding to the mold; applying a vacuum to the shaped part to hold it against the mold also after separating the mold and the sealing counterpart, the vacuum applied through at least one opening in the mold located in a corner of the mold that the blank does not reach when the first pressure is applied; and discontinuing the vacuum to allow the shaped part to be released from the mold.

  • Publication number: 20180304025
    Abstract: Methods and systems for an injection system are provided. An example injection system includes a container for a pharmaceutical that is sealed at a proximal end with a plunger having a pushing surface for engaging an inner surface of the hollow body. A plunger rod extends axially from the proximal end of the container and is covered with a plunger rod cover. Removal of the cover activates the system and allows for delivery of the pharmaceutical product from the container by advancing the plunger within the container towards the seal.
