Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, a medicament container, a needle assembly, and an insertion member. The needle assembly includes a needle coupling member and a needle. A flow passageway is defined between a first end portion and a second end portion of the needle coupling member. The needle coupling member is rotatably coupled within the housing such that it rotates between a first orientation and a second orientation such that a portion of the needle extends from the housing in the second orientation. The insertion member is movable within the housing from a first position to a second position. A contact portion of the insertion member engages the second end portion of the needle coupling member to move the needle coupling member from the first orientation to the second orientation when the insertion member moves from the first position to the second position.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, a gas container, a medicament container assembly, and a movable seal member, with the housing defining a gas chamber and an equalization bypass. The gas container is disposed within the housing and configured to produce pressurized gas within the gas chamber when the apparatus is actuated. The movable seal member is configured to move from a first seal position to a second seal position. When the movable seal member is at the first seal position, the gas chamber is in fluid communication with the exterior volume surrounding the apparatus via the equalization bypass. When the movable seal member is at the second seal position, the gas chamber is fluidically isolated from the exterior volume by the movable seal member.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a signal associated with a characteristic of an actuation event of a medicament delivery device. The method includes establishing a communications link (e.g., via a short-range wireless protocol), between a mobile computing device and a medicament delivery device. A wireless first signal associated with a first motion profile of the medicament delivery device is then received from the medicament delivery device. A second signal associated with a second motion profile of the mobile computing device is generated. The method then includes producing a notification via the mobile computing device when A) a magnitude of the first motion profile is outside of a first threshold and B) a magnitude of the second motion profile is outside of a second threshold.

Abstract: A method of producing a medicament container assembly that contains a dry medicament and a solvent, and having reduced gas content within the dry medicament is described herein. The medicament container assembly includes a container body, a first elastomeric member, a second elastomeric member, and a distal seal. A first elastomeric member, a second elastomeric member, and a portion of the container body collectively define a first volume. The second elastomeric member and a distal end portion of the container body define a second volume. The dry medicament is conveyed into the second volume via a distal end opening of the container body. The solvent is conveyed into the first volume via a proximal end opening. The first elastomeric member is then inserted into the container body via the proximal end opening to seal the solvent within the first volume.

Abstract: Aspects of this disclosure relate receiving a reference symbol from at least one antenna. The reference symbol includes a portion of a first transmitted reference symbol and a portion of a second transmitted reference symbol. The first transmitted reference symbol includes a symbol and a cyclically shifted portion of the symbol having a cyclic shift length. The second transmitted reference symbol includes a cyclically shifted version of the first transmitted reference symbol that is cyclically shifted relative to the first transmitted reference symbol by the cyclic shift length. The reference symbol is processed. In certain embodiments, processing the reference symbol can account for (i) a frame offset between uplink symbols and downlink symbols and (ii) another timing offset between downlink transmission and uplink reception.

Abstract: A method of optimizing write current in a data storage system. The write current is optimized by measuring a bit error rate in the storage system as a function of the write current in the presence of background interference stress and adjacent track interference stress. An optimum write current level is determined as a function of the measured bit error rate.
