Publication number: 20240131275Abstract: An injection device for injecting medicament in a patient includes a syringe coupled to a housing and radially retained by a retaining rib. A needle guard is slideably coupled to the housing and spring biased in a distal direction by a return spring. A ram is slideably coupled to the housing and spring biased in the distal direction by a main spring. An initial position is defined by a retaining arm being disposed in the longitudinal path of the ram preventing firing. A released position is defined by the retaining arm being clear from the longitudinal path of the ram allowing the ram to extend distally. A locked position is defined by the retaining arm being disposed in the longitudinal path of the ram and a lock arm of the ram being disposed in the longitudinal path of the needle guard preventing the needle guard from being retracted.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Antares Pharma, Inc.Inventors: John Pierre Mehawej, Bryan James Sarkinen

Patent number: 11605397Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide various magnetic recording slider structures and fabrication methods that can reduce head overcoat (HOC) thickness without significantly reducing the lifetime and reliability of a slider by using a protective cap placed on preselected locations on the outermost surface or HOC of the slider. A slider includes a writer comprising an energy-assisted recording element. The writer is configured to store information on a magnetic medium using the energy-assisted recording element. The slider includes a head overcoat (HOC) layer providing an outermost media facing surface. The slider further includes a protective cap positioned on the HOC layer to at least partially cover the energy-assisted recording element, the protective cap including a preselected shape configured to protect the energy-assisted recording element.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2021Date of Patent: March 14, 2023Assignee: Western Digital Technologies, Inc.Inventors: John Pierre Herber, Mark David Alnas Alias, Aileen Ticzon Jara, Reimar Azupardo

Publication number: 20220188656Abstract: Accurate real time automatic detection of events in content of a data stream, such as a transition to a commercial block in the content of a broadcast audio/video data stream, relies on a trainable event classifier that operates on a well-balanced training set input to the classifier. The present disclosure provides a computer controlled method of operating a training tool for classifying events annotated in the content of a data stream. The training tool presents training samples comprising separators and corresponding descriptors that relate to trigger features obtained from variations in parameters of the annotated data stream, and derived features restoring relationships between various separators and corresponding descriptors.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 26, 2020Publication date: June 16, 2022Inventors: Gerrit Cornelis LANGELAAR, John Pierre Jacobus VERHAGEN

Patent number: 10779059Abstract: A method of and system for distributing a content item, having a plurality of segments. A composite content item is created by concatenating segments from different content items from different agencies. A segment of the composite content item may or may not already comprise a previously embedded segment watermark carrying a previously embedded segment payload. The method comprises determining if the segment already comprises a previously embedded segment watermark, and if so, logging the previously embedded segment payload in a watermark transaction log associated with the new segment payload; otherwise, embedding the new segment payload as a watermark in the segment. In the case that the segment already comprises a previously embedded segment payload, the previously embedded payload is logged in a watermark transaction log, and the previously embedded segment payload is replaced with a new segment watermark that represents the new segment payload.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: September 15, 2020Assignee: TELETRAX B.V.Inventors: Valery Stepanovich Kot, Mehmet Utku Celik, John Pierre Jacobus Verhagen
