Publication number: 20110137247Abstract: An auto-injector automatically dispenses a predetermined dose of medicament upon activation. The auto-injector includes a needle cover operative to engage an injection site and activate the injector. The needle cover is configured to move from a locked retracted position prior to a medicament dispensing operation to a locked extended position after the medicament dispensing operation. The non-removable needle cover prevents contact with the needle both before and after the medicament dispensing operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2011Publication date: June 9, 2011Applicant: Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc.Inventors: C.

Patent number: 7794432Abstract: An auto-injector for dispensing a predetermined dose of medicament is disclosed. The auto-injector includes a needle cover operative to engage an injection site. The needle cover is configured to move from a retracted position prior to a medicament dispensing operation to an extended locked position after the medicament dispensing operation. Any residual activation force remaining after the medicament dispensing operation is contained within the auto-injector and is not directed to the needle cover, thus attenuating, if not eliminating, any kickback effect.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2007Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Egerton Young, Sophie Rebecca Raven, Martin Joseph Murphy, Christopher John Hurlstone, Joseph William Daintrey, Craig Malcolm Rochford, Stephen Philip Kirkwood, Colin James Mathews, Robert L.

Patent number: 7635348Abstract: Containers for automatic injectors and automatic injectors adapted for those containers are disclosed. The containers include structures adapted to retain and, optionally, cripple the needle of the automatic injector when the automatic injector is inserted into the container after use. Depending on the embodiment, an indicator may be included, either as part of the container or as part of the automatic injector, to indicate whether or not the automatic injector has been used. If the indicator is provided as a part of the automatic injector, a corresponding portion of the container may be formed of a light permeable material. The container may also include features, such as an eyelet over the closed end, designed to cushion the automatic injector. Cushioning and shock absorbing features may also be provided inside the container. A clip is also disclosed. The clip is designed to attach two or more containers together.Type: GrantFiled: November 2, 2004Date of Patent: December 22, 2009Assignee: Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sophie Rebecca Raven, Matthew Egerton Young, Paul Greenhalgh, Stephen Pilip Kirkwood, Colin James Mathews, Joseph William Daintrey, John G.

Patent number: 7624336Abstract: Techniques are provided for selecting status data. Redundant views are obtained from multiple synchronous redundant devices. It is determined that the redundant views from the multiple synchronous redundant devices are conflicting. A redundant view score is calculated for each of the redundant views based on one or more characteristics from each of at least two characteristic types, wherein the characteristics are associated with weighted scores. One of the redundant views is selected based on the calculated redundant view score for each of the redundant views.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2004Date of Patent: November 24, 2009Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Timothy James Crawford, James Mathew Davison, Daniel Fernando de Araujo, Paul Matthew Richards

Publication number: 20080041416Abstract: A dispensing brush is used to groom while deodorizing and/or styling the receiver. The receiver can be a human but is commonly a household pet such as a dog or cat. The brush is comprised of a head attached to a handle and includes a bristle cap mounted to the head. Within the handle or the head, an internal cavity is provided that is in communication with an intake reservoir. A pump is also provided within the head or handle of the brush with the intake of the pump in communication with the intake reservoir and a pump output provided through a void in the bristle cap. The intake reservoir includes a depression or other structure such as a wall to create a pocket of fluid, which is held in reserve in the internal cavity, thereby making it accessible to the intake of the pump even when the brush is moved in a variety of positions. The intake reservoir may also include a check valve to further aide in restricting fluid from flowing back into internal cavity from the intake reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 23, 2006Publication date: February 21, 2008Inventors: James Mathews, Richard Mathews

Publication number: 20060224479Abstract: A system and method for producing infrastructure health assessments enabling enterprises to monitor the health of individual technology portfolios and plan accordingly is disclosed. The tool uses two primary assessments to determine: 1) an infrastructure score based the general health of asset components; and 2) adaptability score based on asset components ability to interact with other elements within the asset. To generate the assessment scores, the tool accepts inventory input specific to a portfolio's assets and components. A user interacting with the tool provides classification information relating to each asset and component. The tool then calculates health assessment scores for both individual portfolio assets and for the portfolio as a whole.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2005Publication date: October 5, 2006Applicant: AMERICAN EXPRESS TRAVEL RELATED SERVICES COMPANY, INC.Inventors: Fred Bishop, Sherry Easterwood, Pradeep George, Robert Gilmore, James Mathews, Lawrence Mitsch, James Rottman, James Thornton

Publication number: 20050025363Abstract: A user interface allows a user to input handwritten, key-press, and spoken text in a seamless, synchronized manner. A text input panel accepts soft keyboard presses and handwritten words, characters, and gestures. A text recognizer/synchronizer integrates textual input from various sources while recognizing and preserving the order in which a user entered text via the soft keyboard, via handwriting, and/or by speaking. Synchronized text may be displayed in a stage area of the text input panel before being passed to an operating system message router and/or an application program. While in handwriting recognition mode, various permutations and combinations of a word recognition area, a character recognition area, and a keybar/keypad may optionally be displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 30, 2004Publication date: February 3, 2005Applicant: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Charlton Lui, Charles Thacker, James Mathews, Leroy Keely, David Switzer, William Vong, Butler Lampson
