Patent number: 11116903Abstract: Contemplated herein is a medication mixing device which can include a housing having therein a first chamber containing a first medicament component and a second chamber provided containing a second medicament component provided with a sealing structure selectively isolating the first chamber from the second chamber. The sealing structure can include a first sealing component having a first sealing interface and a second sealing component having a second sealing interface wherein a first compression force can be applied to the first and second sealing components causes the sealing interfaces to form a seal. The first compression force can then be configured to allow the first sealing component and the second sealing component to maintain at least one degree of freedom with respect to one another.Type: GrantFiled: February 8, 2018Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: Windgap Medical, IncInventors: Adam Standley, Cole Constantineau, Christopher Stepanian, Brent Buchine, Jeffrey Thomas Chagnon

Patent number: 10569017Abstract: A telescoping portable drug mixing and delivery device configured to store a dry medication separately from a liquid component, wherein a tensile force applied between the housing and a cap opens a valve and causes displacement of a fluid from a first chamber to a second chamber while simultaneously mixing the fluid with a dry medicament prior to injection. An extendable needle guard is provided over the delivery assembly which prevents premature injection as well as inadvertent sticks or other cross contamination of a needle. The needle guard can also form part of a secondary trigger mechanism which injects the reconstituted drug after the mixing stage is complete.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2018Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: Windgap Medical, Inc.Inventors: Cole Constantineau, Christopher Stepanian, Adam Standley, Brent Buchine, Jeffrey Thomas Chagnon, Michel Bruehwiler

Publication number: 20070222116Abstract: This invention discloses improvements that can be achieved in thermal or mechanical performance of aerogel composites via densification. Densified aerogels and aerogel composites can display higher compressive strength, modulus, flexural strength, and maintains or insubstantially increases the thermal conductivity relative to the pre-densified form. In the special case of fiber reinforced aerogel composites densification via mechanical compression can prove highly beneficial.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2005Publication date: September 27, 2007Applicant: Aspen Aerogels, Inc.Inventors: George Gould, Je Lee, Christopher Stepanian, Kang Lee
