Patent number: 12527910Abstract: The application describes a protective case for an auto-injector. The medicament contained within these auto-injectors can be susceptible to degradation due to exposure to extreme temperatures and light. Thus, one embodiment of the protective case reduces the rate of heat transfer between the internal storage compartment of the case and the external atmosphere by including particularly configured vacuum chambers. Additionally, as auto-injectors become smaller, portability can be desirable. Thus, another embodiment of the protective case includes low-profile cases that allow the user to keep the auto-injector with them, e.g., by attaching the case to a common everyday item.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2022Date of Patent: January 20, 2026Inventors: Elijah Kapas, Matthew Kane, Conor Cullinane

Publication number: 20240358923Abstract: A novel single use auto-injector for delivering a fixed amount of medicament is described. The auto-injector may include a sealed housing rotatably held in a cover. Once the auto-injector is positioned at the injection location, the user can transition the housing from a locked to an armed position. The user can then compress the sealed housing into the cover, triggering activation mechanisms that initiate the injection. A first activation mechanism engages an interlock to prevent reuse of the auto-injector. A second activation mechanism straightens and extends a curved needle to a set the exposed needle length. A third activation mechanism pierces a sealed reservoir allowing the medicament to be forced through the injection needle. Following the injection, the auto-injector expands and interlocks, retracting the needle into the auto-injector and preventing reuse.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2024Publication date: October 31, 2024Inventors: Elijah KAPAS, Matthew KANE, Conor CULLINANE

Publication number: 20050234913Abstract: A computer system creates and maintains an index for tracking information relating to individuals. Such information can include, but is not limited to, social security numbers, names, address information, credit bureau identification numbers, and credit history information on individuals. The invention employs logical rules to this information in order to create and maintain a set of files for each individual. The logical rules can include social security rules, geography rules, and address ranking rules. The invention is designed to evaluate slight variations in information very carefully in order to insure that appropriate files are assigned the same index identification number or that appropriate records are assigned separate and different index identification numbers as a situation warrants. The present invention is designed to maintain numerous files for each individual being tracked instead of merging and purging files as is done in the conventional art.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2005Publication date: October 20, 2005Applicant: Providian Financial CorporationInventors: Trevor Carone, Batista Gazoli, Matthew Kane, Edgar Penaflor

Publication number: 20010011242Abstract: The system includes data storage for storing current financial data on a user, as well as data relating to user defined future financial goals and events. The system also includes a unified display to graphically represent the various goals and events, as well as the projected net financial position of the user based on the stored current financial information and the future goals and events. In a preferred embodiment, the net position is displayed as a bar graph, with the goals and events being represented on categorized time lines above the graph having the same x-ordinate time scale. Each event or goal may be moved along its time line, or deactivated, to effect the projected net asset position of the user. The event or goal representations also provide simple access to the stored data underlying each of the goals and events.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 1997Publication date: August 2, 2001Inventors: KATHERINE ROY ALLEX, GEOFFREY ATKIN, MITCHELL S.
