Patent number: 10159797Abstract: An add-on logging device (100, 300) mounted to a drug delivery device is turned on when the cap is removed. After a given amount of time in inactivity the sensor means of the add-on device is turned off automatically to save energy. If the user takes a dose of drug this is not detected as the add-on device is only turned on when the cap is removed. According to the present invention a warning message is provided when the cap is re-mounted after the sensor means has been turned off automatically, the warning message indicating to a user that an expelled dose may not have been detected.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2015Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Novo Nordisk A/SInventors: Jens Christian Andersen, Nikolaj Frogner Krusell, Preben Mikael Nielsen

Publication number: 20160141194Abstract: Apparatuses and methods providing a ballast system for adjusting the center of gravity of a standardized front opening wafer container. Various embodiments of the disclosure present ballast systems that are low profile, do not require modifications to the shell of the wafer container, and can be retrofit to existing wafer carriers. In some embodiments, these capabilities are accomplished by a ballast that mounts to a kinematic coupling plate of the wafer container. In one embodiment, the ballasting can also provide sufficient counter force to the lifting forces associated with purging of the wafer container, thereby preventing “lift off” of the wafer container during purging operations. The ballasts can be removed for shipping of the wafer container, thereby decreasing shipping costs.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2014Publication date: May 19, 2016Applicant: Entegris, Inc.Inventors: Eric A.

Patent number: 9215199Abstract: Described is a technology by which an email filtering service or other gateway includes hybrid proxy and store-and-forward logic. A message is initially processed with proxy logic. If the proxy logic is unable to complete filtering/scanning of a message within a timeout period, the store-and-forward logic is invoked to complete filtering/scanning of the message. The store-and-forward logic also may be invoked if a delivery attempt made by the proxy logic fails or does not complete prior to a delivery timeout period. When such a condition is met, the store-and-forward logic accepts the message, including storing the message, sending a response that indicates the message was accepted, and closing the connection over which the message was received. The store-and-forward logic may complete any scanning if not completed by the proxy logic, and takes over delivery responsibilities.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2015Date of Patent: December 15, 2015Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventor: Hans Christian Andersen

Patent number: 8635289Abstract: The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for adaptive electronic message scanning. Embodiments of the invention relate to dynamically (and potentially unpredictably) varying the depth/thoroughness of classifying electronic messages to protect against undesirable message content (e.g., SPAM, viruses, digital leakage, etc.). A minimum effectiveness is maintained and, when available resources permit, can be exceeded to provide increased protection. An optimal subset of available message classification rules can be selected on a per message basis. The selection of rules is based on available system resources, minimum desired effectiveness (e.g., defined in a Service Level Agreement (“SLA”)), and rule characteristics. Feedback loops can be used to optimize selected classification rule subsets.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2010Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Hans Christian Andersen, Anatoliy Panasyuk, Venkata Somanadha Sarma Remany, Bart Kus
