  • Publication number: 20230330342
    Abstract: An injector comprises a medicament container, an injection module and a driving mechanism. The injection module comprises a conversion mechanism and a needle output mechanism connected to each other. The conversion mechanism is assembled and connected to the medicament container. A driving piston set in the conversion mechanism is assembled and connected to the driving mechanism. A needle set in the needle output mechanism is used for piercing a human body. The driving mechanism drives the driving piston set to convey a medicament liquid in the medicament container to the needle set for injection, such that the medicament container and the injection module, which are related to safety and hygiene, are of single use and are disassembled and discarded after being used. The conversion mechanism is externally connected to the driving mechanism, so that the driving mechanism does not contact the injection medicament liquid during injection and can be reused, thereby reducing material waste.

  • Patent number: 11748549
    Abstract: Various integrated circuit (IC) design methods are disclosed herein. An exemplary method includes receiving an IC design layout having an IC feature to be formed on a wafer using a lithography process and inserting a spacing in the IC feature, thereby generating a modified IC design layout that divides the IC feature into a first main feature and a second main feature separated by the spacing. The spacing has a sub-resolution dimension, such that the IC feature does not include the spacing when formed on the wafer by the lithography process using the modified IC design layout. A mask can be fabricated based on the modified IC design layout, wherein the mask includes the first main feature and the second main feature separated by the spacing. A lithography process can be performed using the mask to form the IC feature (without the spacing) on a wafer.
