Abstract: An injection device is disclosed comprising a plunger for expressing medicament from a syringe and a delivery mechanism arranged in use to provide a forward biasing force to urge the plunger from a first rearward position to a second forward position to express a dose from the syringe. A latch arrangement is provided that releasably holds the plunger against the force of the delivery mechanism. The latch arrangement comprising at least two resilient segments which define opposing sections of an aperture within which a rearward end of the plunger is retained in the rearward position. A trigger is provided for releasing the plunger in use, the trigger being arranged to outwardly deflect at least one of the resilient segments such that the aperture is expanded to release the rearward end of the plunger. A method of manufacturing the injection device is also enclosed.

Abstract: This application relates to systems and methods for scaling and assembling framed images, and to offering the framed images for purchase. In some embodiments, a computing device is configured to receive a first customer selection of a frame style and a frame size, where the frame size indicates dimensions of a frame window. The computing device is also configured to receive a second customer selection of a mat style. Further, the computing device is configured to determine, based at least on the dimensions of the frame window and the mat style, a mat size, where the mat size includes dimensions of a mat window. The computing device is also configured to determine, based at least on the dimensions of the mat window, an image size for an image. For example, the computing device may execute a rule-based model, or a machine learning model, to determine the image size.

Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device comprising an elongate housing and a cap removably mounted over a forward end of the housing. The cap comprising at least one slot extending forwardly from its rear edge; the at least one slot being configured to engage with an outwardly projecting protrusion on an outer surface of the housing when the cap is mounted on the housing. A rearward portion of the cap includes rearwardly extending engagement features provided on each side of the at least one slot, the engagement features being configured to locate within a cavity in the housing when the cap is mounted on the housing. The cavity is provided with corresponding surfaces which align with the cap engagement features so as to hold the outwardly projecting protrusion within the cut-out.

Abstract: The invention provides an injection device for delivering a dose of medicament from a syringe. The injection device comprises a housing (10), a plunger (110) moveably mounted within the housing, an actuation mechanism (120, 122) arranged to provide a forward biasing force to urge the plunger forward in use to express a dose of medicament and a trigger mechanism (40) arranged to (directly or indirectly) releaseably hold the plunger against the force of the actuation mechanism. The injection device further comprises a plunger velocity regulator comprising a cam surface (162) associated with one of the housing or the plunger, and a cam member (152) associated with the other of the plunger or the housing and arranged to engage the cam surface during actuation movement of the plunger such that axial movement of the plunger relative to the housing causes relative rotational movement of the cam member and limits the forward velocity of the plunger movement.

Abstract: An injection device (100) suitable for the delivery of a viscous medicament from a container (10) through a needle (16) disposed at the distal end of the container (10) is disclosed. The device comprises a housing (102), an advancing mechanism (190, 204, 230) operable to move the container (10) relative to the housing from a starting position in which the needle (16) is shrouded and an insertion position in which the needle (16) is exposed, and a stopper drive arrangement operable to move a stopper (22) towards the distal end of the container (10). The stopper drive arrangement comprises a drive body (240) arranged for axial movement with respect to the housing (102), a driveshaft (250) arranged for rotation with respect to the drive body (240), a plunger (202) arranged for axial movement with respect to the drive body (240) to move the stopper (22) upon rotation of the driveshaft (250), and drive means (290) arranged to rotate the driveshaft (250) upon activation of the stopper drive arrangement.

Abstract: A substance delivery device for delivering a substance from a container includes a body, and a plunger movable with respect to the body so as to expel at least a portion of a substance from the container, a trigger mechanism, a latch member latched in a stationary position at least along the longitudinal axis of the device before use, and a lockout shroud movable along the longitudinal axis relative to the latch mechanism. User manipulation of the trigger mechanism causes the latch mechanism to become unlatched and move along the longitudinal axis and to cause movement of a plunger relative to the body, and in a first position of the lockout shroud along the longitudinal axis relative to the latch member, the lockout shroud prevents the trigger mechanism from unlatching the latch member, whereas in a second position the lockout shroud allows the trigger mechanism to unlatch the latch member.
