  • Patent number: 12638110
    Abstract: A fluid adaptor, having a funnel adaptor having a first open end and a second open end, the first open end having a greater diameter than the second open end, a plurality of annular protrusions disposed on an inner surface of the funnel adaptor and arranged between the first open end and the second open end, each of the plurality of annular protrusions having a radius, the radii decreasing from the first open end to the second open end, and an extension tube extending from and integral to the second open end. In some possible configurations of the funnel adaptor, an elongated tube may removably and frictionally engage the second open end. In other possible configurations, each adjacent pair of the plurality of annular protrusions forms an annular channel therebetween.

  • Publication number: 20260118670
    Abstract: Head-mounted augmented reality (AR) devices can track pose of a wearer's head to provide a three-dimensional virtual representation of objects in the wearer's environment. An electromagnetic (EM) tracking system can track head or body pose. A handheld user input device can include an EM emitter that generates an EM field, and the head-mounted AR device can include an EM sensor that senses the EM field. EM information from the sensor can be analyzed to determine location and/or orientation of the sensor and thereby the wearer's pose. The EM emitter and sensor may utilize time division multiplexing (TDM) or dynamic frequency tuning to operate at multiple frequencies. Voltage gain control may be implemented in the transmitter, rather than the sensor, allowing smaller and lighter weight sensor designs. The EM sensor can implement noise cancellation to reduce the level of EM interference generated by nearby audio speakers.

  • Publication number: 20250161649
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a luer connector comprising relatively movable components to facilitate fluid flow therethrough. In some embodiments, a male luer tip supported by the housing can be configured to rotate with respect to the housing. In some embodiments, at least one of the luer tip and the internal member can be axially moveable between a first closed position and a second open position relative to the other of the luer tip and the internal member. Further, the luer tip and the internal member can cooperate such that rotation of the luer tip in a first direction relative to the housing increases an axial displacement between the first open end of the luer tip and an end portion of the internal member.

  • Patent number: 12280230
    Abstract: Some embodiments relate to a luer connector comprising a housing having a hollow bore therethrough, a first end, and a second end, a male luer tip supported by the housing configured to rotate with respect to the housing, the luer tip having a first open end and a passageway through the luer tip in fluid communication with the first open end, and a substantially rigid internal member extending into the passageway of the luer tip toward the first open end of the luer tip. In some embodiments, at least one of the luer tip and the internal member can be axially moveable between a first closed position and a second open position relative to the other of the luer tip and the internal member. Further, the luer tip and the internal member can cooperate such that rotation of the luer tip in a first direction relative to the housing increases an axial displacement between the first open end of the luer tip and an end portion of the internal member.
