Abstract: Systems are described for delivery of a wide variety of materials in which liquid and gas or vapor states are concurrently present, from a package preferably including a fluid-containing collapsible liner. Headspace gas is removed from a pressure dispensing package prior to liquid dispensation therefrom, and ingress gas is removed thereafter during dispensation operation. At least one sensor senses presence of gas or a gas-liquid interface in a reservoir or gas-liquid separation region. A gas removal system including an integral reservoir, at least one sensor, and at least one flow control elements may be included within a connector adapted to mate with a pressure dispensing package, for highly efficient removal of gas from the liquid being dispensed from the container.

Abstract: A paint edging apparatus includes a body having front and rear ends defining a longitudinal axis therebetween, the body receiving a paint reservoir for supplying paint to an applicator portion of the apparatus, the body including a handle extending rearwardly at an acute angle relative to the longitudinal axis. An urging mechanism selectively engages the paint reservoir to discharge paint therefrom. A vibrator mounted to the body and operatively connected to the paint applicator portion of the apparatus imparts an oscillatory motion to the paint applicator. A trigger is pivotally mounted to the handle for activating the vibrator, wherein a user can move the apparatus over a work surface to apply paint to the work surface and also pivot the trigger at the same time by grasping the handle with a single hand.

Abstract: A drug delivery device includes a housing with a base and a cover that define an enclosure. A drug container disposed within the enclosure includes a drug reservoir configured to retain the drug therein. The drug container includes external features formed on an exterior of the drug container configured to interface with the housing so as to allow for dynamic movement relative to the housing to relieve stress on the rigid or flexible drug container when the needle assembly is actuated between the engaged and unengaged configurations. The drug delivery device includes a needle assembly with a needle and a drug channel connected between the drug container and needle assembly. A needle actuation mechanism is coupled to the needle assembly and actuatable between an engaged configuration and an unengaged configuration. The needle is extended from the housing in the engaged configuration and retracted in the housing in the unengaged configuration.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a fill sleeve for protecting an outer surface of a syringe from exposure to a liquid when filling the syringe with the liquid. The fill sleeve includes a sidewall extending between a first open end and a second end having an end wall. The end wall and the sidewall define an interior volume of the fill sleeve. The end wall is provided with an opening configured to form a seal with a fill site of a syringe when the syringe barrel is inserted within the interior volume of the fill sleeve. The seal prevents the outer surface of the syringe barrel from being exposed to a liquid when the fill sleeve and the syringe are lowered into a liquid, such as paint. The configuration also allows for a preferred filling position that minimizes filling pressures, force, and fill time in comparison to prior art designs.

Abstract: Embodiments of a delivery device, a kit comprising the delivery device, and methods of using the same are presented. In one embodiment, the delivery device includes a syringe assembly defining two or more reservoirs each configured to hold a dispensable material. Additionally, the delivery device may include a delivery tip. The delivery tip may have an inlet, an outlet, a central flow-restricting portion, and one or more channels adjacent to the central flow-restricting portion that provide fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet, the one or more channels including a section that tapers inwardly toward the outlet. In one embodiment, the delivery device is configured such that if the two or more reservoirs hold dispensable material then the syringe assembly can be actuated to dispense the dispensable material from the two or more reservoirs substantially simultaneously into the inlet.

Abstract: A pill-dispensing apparatus for automatically dispensing solid pills includes a plurality of storage units and a pill dispensing module. The storage units store pills in bulk and each include a hopper and an auger movably positioned with respect to the hopper. An inlet of the auger is positioned to receive pills from the hopper. The pill-dispensing module includes: a dock for receiving and holding a selected one of the storage units, a drive unit for rotating the auger to motivate the pills along the auger, a pill counter for counting pills dispensed from an auger outlet, and a lift for tilting the hopper to control flow and to assist in motivating pills to fall from the hopper and move along the auger.

Abstract: A injection system having a syringe body which defines a pumping chamber. A syringe plunger is located in the pumping chamber and is adapted for reciprocal motion within the pumping chamber. The syringe plunger includes a capture member projecting outwardly in a proximal direction. An actuating shaft is coupled to the syringe plunger and is movable through the syringe body to control movement of the syringe plunger. The capture member is adapted to flex radially outwardly when contacted by the actuating shaft to form a releasable engagement with the actuating shaft when the actuating shaft and the capture member are in an engagement position. A release actuator is disposed proximal to the syringe body, and the capture member releases the actuating shaft upon engagement with the release actuator.
