Publication number: 20210220579Abstract: The introduction of electronics into a drug delivery device may introduce certain technical challenges, such as durability, electro-mechanical integration, and drug delivery performance. The present disclosure provides solutions for inclusion of an electronics module with an inhaler. For example, heat stakes may be used to secure a printed circuit board (PCB) to an electronics module's housing. Also for example, a slider may be used to transfer vertical movement of an inhaler's yoke to an electronics module's switch. Also for example, certain seals may be used when interfacing the electronics module to other portions of the device's housing to achieve a desired performance.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2021Publication date: July 22, 2021Applicant: Norton (Waterford) LimitedInventors: Enrique Calderon Oliveras, Daniel Buck, Erica Jamie Kantor, Ross William Weir, James Roche, Steven David Gardner, Robert Owen Kivlin

Publication number: 20210053704Abstract: A container carrier application system is provided. The system includes a controller, a conveyor, a container positioning device, and an application device. The conveyor conveys a plurality of groups of containers from a supply side to an output side. The container positioning device positions each group of containers for application of a container carrier, and the application device applies the container carrier to the group. A motion of the container positioning device and a motion of the application device are synchronized to coordinate a position of the group with a position of the container carrier to be applied to the group. The controller is configured to control a conveyance speed of the groups such that a gap is introduced between a first group and a second group as they are conveyed along the conveyor, the gap being spaced in a conveyance direction of the containers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2019Publication date: February 25, 2021Inventors: Zachary Alan Edwards, Robert Michael McKenna, Nicholas James Roche, Jeremy Rollin Pond, Brent Thomas Nasset

Patent number: 8451165Abstract: Described is a mobile radar system which provides both persistent surveillance and tracking of objects with adaptive measurement rates for both maneuvering and non-maneuvering objects. The mobile radar system includes a vehicle having mounted therein an active, electronically-steerable, phased array radar system movable between a stowed position and a deployed position and wherein the phased array radar system is operational in both the deployed and stored positions and also while the vehicle is either stationary or moving. Thus, the mobile radar system described herein provides for longer time on target and longer integration times, increased radar sensitivity and improved Doppler resolution and clutter rejection. This results in a highly mobile radar system appropriate for use in a battlefield environment and which supports single-integrated-air-picture metrics including but not limited to track purity, track completeness, and track continuity and thus improved radar performance in a battlefield.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2010Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: Raytheon CompanyInventors: Angelo M. Puzella, Steven T. Cummings, Joseph A. Licciardello, Jerome H. Pozgay, Stephen J. Pereira, Michael G. Sarcione, Peter D. Morico, James A. Roche, Jr.

Patent number: 7157966Abstract: A power amplifier includes an input network, output stages, coupled in parallel and configured to output power optimally in corresponding power-ranges, the output stages coupled to the input network, an output impedance matching network, coupled to the output stages and not containing a switching element, and a bias-control network, coupled between the output impedance matching network, the input network, and the output stages. In some amplifiers the output impedance matching network does not contain a switching element corresponding to the output stage configured to output power in the highest range. In other amplifiers the bias-control network is configured to isolate output stages by providing a hard shut-off to transistors of the isolated output stages.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2004Date of Patent: January 2, 2007Assignee: Fairchild Semiconductor CorporationInventors: Atiqul Baree, Gary Hau, Mikhail Shirokov, James A.

Patent number: 6464243Abstract: A wheelchair (1) has a seat support (5) which has a pair of longitudinal bars (1) which extend downwardly at the front. The bars (10) are connected to a backrest support (6) which pivots via a triangular plate (25) to a collapsed position at which it overlies the seat support (5). The wheelchair (1) also has a lower leg support (7) which pivots about pivot joints (5) to fold up underneath the seat support (5) to collapse in a very compact and simple manner.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2001Date of Patent: October 15, 2002Inventor: James Roche

Patent number: 6324644Abstract: A method and system of communicating with a computer through a network prior to booting the computer's operating system or after operating system failure is provided. A multitasking kernel is implemented in a network enhanced BIOS. External references in a NIC device driver are resolved to reference services provided by the network enhanced BIOS. A workstation coupled to the computer through a network may be used to access and set status on the computer prior to loading the operating system or after operating system failure. The multitasking kernel may be operated simultaneously with a conventional BIOS. The computer may be further provided with a means for alerting the workstation in the event of a POST failure or operating system crash.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 1999Date of Patent: November 27, 2001Assignee: Phoenix Technologies Ltd.Inventors: Yuval Rakavy, Ian Anderson, Andrew Garsten, James Roche, Michael Peter R.
