Abstract: The invention apparatus for and a method of creating a localized warning to prevent damage to buried pipeline and other buried infrastructure using a new type of marker tape with the trade name signal tape® [hereinafter referred to as “Signal Tape”]. The disclosed Signal Tape may incorporate tracer wire and RFID technology to aid in the remote location of the Signal Tape and, thus, the buried infrastructure. Signal Tape may also incorporate Litz wire for use as tracer wire within the Signal Tape.

One or more sensors are operatively coupled to the plunger to measure displacement of the plunger, a processor is coupled to the sensor(s) for analyzing sensor signals to measure volume of medicament delivered from the interior, and an output device, e.g., one or more LEDs or speakers, provide outputs related to the volume of medicament delivered.

Abstract: A system and method provides a glucose report for determining glycemic risk based on an ambulatory glucose profile of glucose data over a time period, a glucose control assessment based on median and variability of glucose, and indicators of high glucose variability. Time of day periods are shown at which glucose levels can be seen. A median glucose goal and a low glucose line provide coupled with glucose variability provide a view into effects that raising or lowering the median goal would have. Likelihood of low glucose, median glucose compared to goal, and variability of glucose below median provide probabilities based on glucose data. Patterns can be seen and provide guidance for treatment.

Abstract: An auto-injector includes a front housing carrying a syringe and an activation cap covering a needle of the syringe, and a rear housing including a drive assembly for automatically deliver agent(s) from the syringe when the device is activated. The rear housing includes a gas canister and an opener mechanism for opening the canister into a set of chambers of an inner housing within the outer housing. When a contact surface of the activation cap is pressed against a subject's skin to insert the needle, the activation cap retracts into the outer housing and activates the opener mechanism to release pressurized gas from the canister into the chambers to advance a plunger within the inner housing to deliver the agent(s) from the syringe into the subject. After the injection is completed and the device is withdrawn away from the skin, the activation cap automatically advances to cover the needle.
