  • Patent number: 9956342
    Abstract: The injection device includes a static structure including a first gear member. The injection device also includes a dynamic structure including a medicine container, a mechanism for pushing liquid medicine out of the medicine container for its injection to a patient, and a second gear member engaged with the first gear member. The injection device additionally includes a drive member for driving one of the first and second gear members so as to cause the dynamic structure to move relative to the static structure along a predetermined direction due to the engagement between the first and second gear members. The injection device further includes a clutch mechanism for maintaining engagement between the first and second gear members in normal condition of the injection device, and for allowing disengagement of the first and second gear members upon a shock received by the injection device along the predetermined direction.

  • Patent number: 6055807
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for reducing harmful emissions in the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine which may be a Diesel engine or an Otto engine operated by a lean fuel air mixture. The exhaust gases are subjected to a catalytic treatment for oxidizing carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, and the exhaust gases are throttled to increase their temperature under operative conditions of heat deficiency such as at cold start. The exhaust gases are subjected to an additional catalytic treatment for reducing nitrogen oxides in a deoxidation means. The throttling of the exhaust gases is controlled such that the temperature of the exhaust gases will be within a predetermined temperature range at which said deoxidation means is operative.
