  • Publication number: 20250285560
    Abstract: Disclosed is an AR self-injection training system and method of use incorporating a marker specifically designed for device-naive self-injection patients. The marker is designed so that it can be removably adhered to an injection site. Once in position it anchors AR content to the injection site for training. The marker is designed to associate AR content to the injection site for training and allows patient to leave the marker in place and inject to the same site. Providing a system that is able to identify a site of injection and to provide salient instructions streamlines the process of training and makes the transition to using a real-device relatively seamless. The provided embodiments can also incorporate error correction functionality and even local anesthesia or analgesic. Following training, the opening in the marker allows patients to leave the marker in place and inject to the same site.

  • Patent number: 10740738
    Abstract: A system for counting objects in a queue waiting for service at one of a plurality of electronic points of service “EPOSs” includes an object tracking system and a processor system for processing data. The processor system may have memory means storing data indicative of the positions of each of said EPOSs within a service point area, and be adapted to receive data from each EPOS indicating its operational status and to receive from said tracking system data relating to positions of objects within the service point area. The method of counting objects in a queue comprises firstly determining an initial seed location as a point at which a single queue of objects forms. Then, determining a new seed location as a point at which the single queue forms Once the new seed location is determined, tracked objects may be assigned to the single queue and then counted.

  • Patent number: 9539171
    Abstract: An instrument, article and method are provided for minimizing pain during administration by injection of a liquid, such as, an anesthetic. The instrument has a forward end. A lightpipe mounted freely for vibration projects out of the forward end. The article, a single use tip, is composed of a tip sleeve removably mounted on the forward end of the instrument and a tip member removably mounted on the projecting lightpipe to vibrate a preselected injection site on a human or animal. The tip sleeve and tip member are covered by an elastic overmold that enables the tip member to vibrate freely with respect to the tip sleeve and light from the lightpipe to illuminate the injection site. A vibration unit mounted in the instrument is coupled to the lightpipe. The method is carried out by imparting vibrations and illumination via the lightpipe to the tip member.
