Abstract: A medicated module for an injection system to co-deliver at least two medicaments is disclosed where a primary delivery device containing a primary medicament accepts a medicated module containing a single dose of a secondary medicament and where both medicaments are delivered through a hollow needle. The medicated module is user selectable so that it will deliver a priming dose of a primary medicament or both the primary and secondary medicaments. The module also contains a needle guard that locks after dose delivery. The needle guard prevents accidental needle sticks before and after an injection. A locking collar rotates during use as an inner protrusion follows three paths of a track located on the outer surface of a body housing. When the inner facing protrusion is in the third path, it encounters a hard stop and a rotational bias that locks the guard from further refraction and thus covers the sharp distal end of the needle.

Abstract: An infusion pump drive and its methods of use are disclosed. In one embodiment, the infusion pump drive may include a transmission component and a spring in line with the transmission component. Displacing the transmission component may compress the spring to apply a force causing fluid to dispense from an associated reservoir. Depending on the particular embodiment, the transmission component may either be displaced continuously or displaced multiple times to dispense fluid from the reservoir.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a medication delivery device, to dosing mechanisms suitable for use in medication delivery devices, in particular in pen-type injectors, preferably having dose setting means and a drive device enabling the administration of a medicinal product from a single- or multi-dose medication cartridge, to a use of such device, and to a method of manufacturing or assembling such device.

Abstract: A medicated module for an injection system to co-deliver at least two medicaments is disclosed where a primary delivery device containing a primary medicament accepts a medicated module containing a single dose of a secondary medicament and where both medicaments are delivered through a hollow needle. The medicated module is initially in a locked state until attached to a drug delivery where interaction of the cartridge holder with the module bypass housing changes the module to a triggerable state. The medicated module does not require the user to manually engage a reservoir containing the secondary medicament. Instead, a biasing member automatically activates the reservoir when the needle guard is retracted when the module is in the triggerable state. The needle guard prevents accidental needle sticks before and after an injection, and locks after removal from the injection site.

Abstract: A medicated module for an injection system to co-deliver at least two medicaments is disclosed where a primary delivery device containing a primary medicament accepts a medicated module containing a single dose of a secondary medicament and where both medicaments are delivered through a hollow needle. The medicated module is initially in a locked state until attached to a drug delivery where a locking plate is moved to a triggering state. The medicated module does not require the user to manually engage a reservoir containing the secondary medicament. Instead, a biasing member automatically activates the reservoir when the needle guard is retracted when the module is in the triggering state. The needle guard prevents accidental needle sticks before and after an injection, and locks after dose delivery.

Abstract: The invention resides in a hand-held medicament delivery device which comprises a housing containing a first electrical circuit and a battery, a medicament delivery mechanism, and a protective cap releasably securable to the housing. The housing also includes a contactless switch and the cap a switch actuator. The switch is operable between an on state in which the first electrical circuit is connected to the battery and an off state in which the first electrical circuit is disconnected from the battery. The invention also resides in a method of controlling power in a hand held medicament delivery device comprising the steps of actuating a contactless switch in the housing by an actuator in a housing cap when the switch and actuator are in proximity, the actuation of the switch signalling to a microprocessor that the cap is on the housing, detecting the status of the device by the microprocessor, and only if the microprocessor determines the device is inactive, powering down the device.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for providing interactive text preview. For example, a primary device (e.g., a smart phone) establishes a communication channel with a secondary device (e.g., a television). The primary device projects an application interface, of an application hosted on the primary device, to a secondary display of the secondary device. An interrogation connection is established with a text entry canvas of the application interface. The primary device listens through the interrogation connection to identify text input data directed towards the text entry canvas. An interactive text preview interface, populated with textual information derived from the text input data, is displayed on a primary display of the primary device. In this way, the user may naturally preview text entry through the primary device (e.g., and does not have to look up to the television to see what is being typed).

Abstract: In many computing scenarios, a user of a primary device may wish to incorporate an auxiliary device in the presentation of an application. Such incorporation may involve a terminal services session that projects the computing environment of the primary device onto the auxiliary device; mirroring the computing environment of the primary device through the auxiliary device; and/or utilizing applications that interoperate with client applications executing on the second device. However, such techniques may not fully reflect the properties of each device, and/or may only apply to particular applications and/or configurations.

Abstract: The manner of presenting a user interface of an application may be significant in many respects. A user interface may be suitable only for some devices (e.g., buttons may be selectable by a pointer, but not on a touch-sensitive display; textboxes may appear too large or too small on different displays), and may satisfy only some user interactions (e.g., a map interface may be usable on a laptop by a stationary user, but not usable in a vehicle while the user is driving). Presented herein are techniques for automatically generating a user interface that is adapted both for the interaction component properties of the device, and the interaction criteria of the user interaction with the user interface. A device may choose the presentation of each element of a user interface based on such information, and generate a user interface matching both the device and the user interaction with the application.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for gesture navigation for a secondary user interface. For example, a primary device (e.g., a smart phone) may establish a communication connection with a secondary device having a secondary display (e.g., a television). The primary device may project a rendering of a secondary user interface, of a secondary application executing on the primary device (e.g., a photo app), to the secondary display of the secondary device. The secondary user interface may comprise a user interface element (e.g., a photo carousel). The primary device may receive a continuous motion gesture input (e.g., a looping gesture on a touch display of the smart phone). The primary device may visually traverse, through the secondary user interface, one or more content items of the user interface element based upon the continuous motion gesture input (e.g., scroll through photos of the photo carousel).
