  • Publication number: 20230330347
    Abstract: A method and device for delivering medications that includes a syringe body, a cartridge nest with an application tip, a plunger actuator, and an electronic lock subassembly adapted for preventing administration of the medication until specific conditions are met. The medicine cartridge may comprise a form of a digital security key and/or physical security to prevent the device from administering medication unless specific configurations and conditions are met. The device may further be adapted with pre-programmed information and may be used with a smartphone, tablet, or computer application. The electronic lock subassembly will only permit the administration of medicine when the patient and/or administrator is verified via facial and voice recognition, biometric identifier, or other unique information. Upon proper permission and/or use of uniquely-keyed and matched components, the device may be used to administer medicine, including injecting medicine into the nasal cavity of a patient.

  • Publication number: 20220133282
    Abstract: A device for delivering medications that includes a syringe body, a cartridge nest with an application tip, a plunger actuator, an electronic subassembly adapted for collecting vital signs information, and a biological fluid specimen collector adapted for collecting a specimen from a patient. The biological fluid specimen collector can be adapted for nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal sampling, and may be an absorbent material located at least partially around an application injector extending from the application tip. The electronic subassembly may be configured for interfacing with one or more peripheral sensors, transmitting vital signs information to a database, and transmitting a notification when at least one vital sign parameter meets a predetermined threshold.

  • Patent number: 7299794
    Abstract: A method and a system for improved control of fuel supply to an internal combustion engine are presented. The system, in addition to a liquid fuel injector, includes a fuel vapor injector disposed in an engine air intake manifold. The method includes determining the state of fuel in the liquid fuel line, and adjusting the amount purge fuel vapors injected into engine air intake manifold accordingly. Thus, improved engine performance is achieved.

  • Publication number: 20070012302
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an injection control system for supplying fuel vapour to an internal combustion engine, which system comprises a fuel tank connected to a purge vapour canister and at least one fuel vapour injector disposed in an air intake manifold via a controllable valve. The fuel tank is also connected to at least one liquid fuel injector. The injection control system further comprises means for determining the state of the fuel in the liquid fuel line and an electronic control unit for determining the state of the fuel in the liquid fuel line based on the output of said sensors. The electronic control unit is arranged to control the controllable valve for permitting delivery of fuel vapour from the purge vapour collection canister to the air intake manifold dependent on the current state of the fuel in the liquid fuel line. The invention further relates to a vehicle provided with such a system.
