  • Publication number: 20250144384
    Abstract: An ingestible device (200), comprising: a housing (210, 220) comprising a stop geometry (228) at an exit hole (224); a tissue penetrating member (230) and an actuator that comprises: a pushing portion (260) configured for axial movement from a first to a second position, the pushing portion configured to move the tissue penetrating member from within the housing to a lodged position in tissue, and a holder portion (270) coupled with the pushing portion (260) for initial axial movement with the pushing portion. In the first position the holder portion releasably holds the tissue penetrating member (230) in axial retaining engagement. As the pushing portion (260) moves towards the second position, the tissue penetrating member (230) moves through the exit hole (224) until the holder portion (270) enters into engagement with the stop geometry (228). The pushing portion (260) moves further to release and advance the tissue penetrating member (230).

  • Patent number: 11823256
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a virtual reality (VR) simulation of a retail store, which simulation is configured and displayed on an immersive VR display device that enables a user to experience the simulated retail store as if it were a physical retail store. The systems enable the user to arrange display cases and other interior store components, and to populate shelves, racks, and the like, with products to be sold in the retail store. A VR platform enables multiple users to synchronously view the VR simulation and make coordinated changes to develop an optimized configuration of the retail store. Marketing, sales, merchant, and other data may be collected, aggregated, and analyzed to identify purchase trends of certain products; the analyzed data may identify user shopping preferences, and the VR platform may generate a customized retail store including only products relevant to a user.
