  • Patent number: 12616790
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices and methods for causing the linear translation of a plunger through a reservoir containing a fluid. A flexible member, for example, a wire or a ribbon, is coupled to the plunger and extends through a wall of the reservoir toward which the plunger is being linearly translated. A pulling force on the flexible member caused by a drive mechanism causes the plunger to linearly translate toward the end wall of the reservoir, thereby forcing any fluid contained in the reservoir out of the reservoir through a fluid port.

  • Publication number: 20250117795
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interaction-based token generation are disclosed. In some examples, a system receives an indication of an interaction between a user device and an interactive element. The interaction involves receipt of data at the user device through the interaction. The system determines, based on context data and based on the user device storing the data in response to the interaction, that a predetermined condition is met. The system causes, in response to the predetermined condition being met, a digital object to be automatically generated using a distributed ledger. The system associates the digital object with the user device.

  • Publication number: 20250053975
    Abstract: A blockchain agnostic token network is described. In an example, a request to purchase a non-fungible token (NFT) minted on a blockchain from a seller is received relative to a listing that offers the NFT for sale via a timed auction. In response to determining that the request to purchase the NFT satisfies one or more purchase conditions, the NFT is issued to user account that requested to purchase the NFT. As part of issuing the NFT, the NFT is recorded on a blockchain, such as a blockchain selected by a seller of the NFT or a blockchain selected by the user account to which the NFT is issued.

  • Publication number: 20240234066
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments may terminate application of an electric pulse to a shape memory alloy (SMA) element that causes actuation of a medicament pump based on resistance values unlike conventional approaches that rely on a mechanical mechanisms to trigger termination of the application of the electric pulse. The magnitude of the resistance values, the rate of change (RoC) of the resistance values, the temperature of the SMA element, the time that has passed since initial application of the electric pulse to the SMA element, or combinations thereof may be used to trigger the termination of the application of the electric pulse to the SMA element in exemplary embodiments. The monitoring of the resistance of an unactuated SMA element may be used to determine when to initiate and when to terminate application of an electrical pulse to the other SMA element.

  • Publication number: 20230248901
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques, processes, devices or systems for pump devices. In one approach, a wearable drug delivery device may include a reservoir configured to store a fluid, the reservoir including a housing defining an interior chamber. The wearable drug delivery device may further include a drive device for driving the fluid from the reservoir, the drive device including a plunger head within the interior chamber of the housing, and a plunger shaft extending from the plunger head. The plunger shaft may include a first component adjacent a second component, wherein during movement of the plunger head in a first direction the first and second components engage one another to form a rigid portion of the plunger shaft, and wherein during movement of the plunger head in a second direction, opposite the first direction, the first and second components are separated from one another.

  • Publication number: 20230079908
    Abstract: A first computing node of a system can receive sensor data about a physical environment. The first computing node can analyze the sensor data with a restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) neural network to determine whether there is a fault condition in the physical environment, an identification of the fault condition being omitted from data used to train the RBM neural network. The first computing node can update the RBM neural network based on the sensor data to produce a first updated RBM neural network. The first computing node can send a first patch indicative of the first updated RBM neural network to a central server. The first computing node can receive, from the central server, information indicative of a second updated RBM neural network, the second updated RBM neural network being based on an aggregation of the first patch and of a second patch generated by a second computing node.

  • Publication number: 20230019194
    Abstract: A system can initiate a training session for a neural network that comprises inputting first data to the neural network to facilitate training of the neural network, wherein use of the neural network increases an accuracy of performing a task associated with the neural network according to a defined accuracy criterion. The system can render a first visual representation of the neural network during the training session via a user interface associated with a virtual reality environment, and render a second visual representation of a possible unintended behavior of the neural network as a result of being trained based on the first data. The system can modify the neural network with respect to the second visual representation in the neural network of the possible unintended behavior in response to receiving second data indicative of a user input via the user interface, the modify resulting in a modified neural network.
