  • Patent number: 12063318
    Abstract: Systems, methods and articles of manufacture provide for an injection management platform that allows the verification and management of injection event transactions involving injectors equipped with NFC or RFID chips utilizing a distributed and secure technology such as blockchain. An injection event transaction ledger allows for digital receipts of injection event transactions to be securely verified and updated. In accordance with some embodiments, injectors may comprise blow-fill-seal (BFS) injectors that are pre-filled with a single dose of a fluid agent comprising a vaccine or medicament, allowing for tracking of individual doses of the fluid agent via the injection event transaction ledger.

  • Publication number: 20240075378
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a system for facilitating a card game is equipped with RFID antennas or interrogators operable to detect initial wagers placed by players on a table surface of the system. The system is further equipped with an electronic shoe which deals cards for the game and a processor with is operable to receive data both from the RFID antennas and the electronic shoe. Upon receiving data from an RFID antenna that a player has placed an initial wager based on initial odds and receiving data identifying some (but not all) cards dealt for a hand, the processor is operable to calculate adjusted odds for a re-characterization wager that would replace the initial wager, and output on a display of the system an offer for the re-characterization wager that corresponds to adjusted odds.

  • Publication number: 20230210720
    Abstract: A fluid delivery manifold system assembled and configured to allow delivery of a single dose of a therapeutic agent (e.g., vaccine, drug, medicament, etc.) from a Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) vial to a patient. The delivery assembly generally includes a modular manifold design consisting of separately constructed components cooperatively arranged and coupled to one another. The modular manifold construction allows for rapid manufacturing reconfigurations of one or more components with minimal costs to create new delivery manifold configurations that meet specific needs (i.e., different modes of delivery depending on agent to be delivered, such as subcutaneous, intramuscular, intradermal, intravenous injection, spray, or droplet delivery).
