Publication number: 20220305196Abstract: An injector system for injecting fluid includes a syringe and an injector. The syringe includes a body and a plunger movably disposed within the body. The plunger has at least one flexible leg extending toward the rearward end of the body. The injector has a housing with a front plate, a drive member at least partially disposed within the housing and operable to engage the plunger, and a syringe release assembly operable to release the syringe. The syringe assembly includes a syringe release gear that forms an enclosure for receiving the syringe when the syringe is fully seated within the housing and a plunger release tube surrounding at least a portion of the drive member. The plunger release tube has a first end rotationally engaged with the syringe release gear. Rotation of the syringe release assembly releases the at least one flexible leg from the drive member.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 14, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Inventors: Charles Lang, Christopher Swenglish, Luis Castillo, Stephen Schulte

Patent number: 7765127Abstract: A system supporting commercial transactions synchronizes e-Catalog data from any e-catalog into a users ERP system. A system for processing product information for supporting commercial transactions involves a first database for maintaining product information including product description, product vendor and associated product pricing information. A data processor in the system receives product information and updates the first database information to incorporate received product information in response to detection of matching records between the received product information and the first database information. A display processor initiates display of updated product information in response to user command. Further, a catalog system maintains and processes a catalog of product information supporting commercial transactions and includes a bidirectional communication processor supporting communication with a remote application.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 2001Date of Patent: July 27, 2010Assignee: Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc.Inventors: William A.
