  • Publication number: 20260083918
    Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed herein for a tamper evident and tamper resistant device for a syringe. The small size of the device reduces costs related to production as well as preserves space in medical carts or other medical storage areas. The device includes two ends connected via a shaft. The two ends are shaped to be complementary to each end of the syringe, particularly to cover the ends of a pre-filled syringe to prevent access for potential tampering. Also disclosed is a wrapper and method of wrapping the device and the syringe where removal of the wrapping or attempted access to the syringe provides evidence of tampering. The wrapping can also be perforated to allow for ease of removal during actual intended use of the pre-filled syringe.

  • Patent number: 12068817
    Abstract: A user equipment (UE) can connect to an evolved universal terrestrial radio access network (E-UTRAN) new radio (NR) dual-connectivity (EN-DC) network using both a Long Term Evolution (LTE) anchor link and a 5G NR non-anchor link. The UE shares RF chain components (e.g., antennas) between the LTE and NR links. The UE uses various techniques for controlling or modifying NR sounding reference signal (SRS) transmissions and/or LTE operations to avoid interruption on LTE operations due to NR SRS transmissions.

  • Patent number: 11783144
    Abstract: A transportable container is enabled with radio frequency identification (“RFID”) technologies to maintain automated inventory levels of those items that are inside the container. The inventory data is communicated via wireless methods, such as cellular or Wi-Fi, to a remote device such as enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The ERP system may use the inventory data received from the remote device to automatically update appropriately and generate appropriate records (e.g., container inventory, restocking, invoicing, etc.). In some embodiments, automated RFID scans are triggered when the container is opened and subsequently closed. The container may include RF containment/screening to prevent inadvertent scanning of RFID tags outside of the container. The container may also include a location device to allow the location of the container to be readily determined.

  • Patent number: 11156195
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for adjustable fuel pressure module. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus for regulating fuel pressure comprises a body configured to mate to a fuel filter housing, a spring seat assembly configured to seal an opening in the fuel filter housing according to a force applied by a pressure regulating spring acting on the spring seat assembly, and a pressure regulating spring adjusting assembly mounted to the body, configured to constrain an adjustable length of the pressure regulating spring, wherein the spring is constrained between the spring seat assembly and the pressure regulating spring adjusting assembly. A force exerted upon the spring seat assembly by the pressure regulating spring corresponds to a desirable fuel pressure. The spring seat assembly is configured to unseal the opening in the fuel filter housing responsive to a fuel pressure greater than the desirable fuel pressure.

  • Patent number: 11131536
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to localization and tracking of an object. As one example, measurement data can be stored in memory to represent measured electrical signals at each of a plurality of known measurement locations in a given coordinate system in response to an applied signal at an unknown location in the given coordinate system. A dipole model cost function has parameters representing a dipole location and moment corresponding to the applied signal. A boundary condition can be imposed on the dipole model cost function. The unknown location in the given coordinate system, corresponding to the dipole location, can then be determined based on the stored measurement data and the dipole model cost function with the boundary condition imposed thereon.

  • Patent number: 10560957
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to resolving out-of-sync uplink grants for communication in an unlicensed spectrum. For example, a user equipment (UE) may receive an uplink grant from a network entity on a downlink communication channel, wherein the uplink grant is associated with a system frame number (SFN). The UE may further determine, based on the SFN, that the uplink grant is out of order with one or more stored uplink grants within a queue. Additionally, the UE may insert the uplink grant in an ordered position within the queue relative to the one or more stored uplink grants.
