Abstract: A system for autonomously inspecting intrusions into a reach envelope of a vehicle traveling along a ride path of a park ride. The system includes a test vehicle that travels along the ride path at test speeds. The system includes a reach envelope inspection assembly including a housing supported by the test vehicle. The reach envelope inspection assembly includes a distance measurement assembly in the housing operable to measure distances between the distance measurement assembly and surfaces of the physical environment. The inspection assembly includes a processor executing code to provide an examination program that compares the plurality of distances to one or more predefined reach envelopes to determine whether an intrusion into any of the one or more predefined reach envelopes exists along the ride path. The test vehicle is a ride vehicle for the park ride or an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operated to follow the ride path.

Abstract: A worksite tracking system uses sensor data associated with operations of a machine on a worksite to detect when the machine performs a dump event to dump material at the worksite, and to update tracking data that tracks machine operations and material movement at the worksite. If sensor data causes detection of a false dump event that did not actually occur, the worksite tracking system identifies the detected false dump event and suppresses corresponding information to update and correct the tracking data.

Abstract: A container for delivering a medicament to a target location includes a housing having a proximal end and a distal end, the housing including a cap locking tab at the distal end, and a vial containing the medicament. The container includes a plunger slidable within the vial from a proximal end to a distal end of the vial to dispel the medicament, an injection member associated with the distal end of the vial, such that the medicament dispelled from the vial passes through the injection member to the target location, and a slidable interaction member associated with the distal end of the vial configured to slide with the vial. An interaction between the slidable interaction member and the cap locking tab causes the cap locking tab to bias outward, and placement of a safety cap on the container after use locks the safety cap onto the container via an interaction with the cap locking tab. The container may further include a resistance feature to control movement of a plunger rod relative to the vial.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a medicament delivery system is provided. The medicament delivery system includes a container for storing a medicament prior to use, the container having a first end and a second end, an injection member in fluid communication with the container, an actuation mechanism associated with the container and configured to deliver the medicament from the container through the injection member when the actuation mechanism is activated. The medicament delivery system further includes at least one detection element associated with the system, wherein in a first mode of operation of the system, medicament is delivered through the injection member and in a second mode of operation of the system, medicament is not delivered through the injection member, and the mode of operation is dependent on an output from the at least one detection element.

Abstract: Embodiments provided herein include a resettable injection training device having a body, a plunger slidable relative thereto, an injection simulation member and retractable and extendable shield, wherein the shield releasably locks in a retracted position prior to use. After use of the training device, the shield extends over the injection simulation member to prevent contact with the injection simulation member. Resetting of the slidable shield occurs by applying a force onto a distal end of the shield to retract the shield until a shield locking surface interacts with a locking surface on the body to maintain the shield in a retracted position. Release of the shield from a retracted position to an extended position may occur by moving the plunger toward a distal end of the body until a contact region at a proximal end of the plunger releases the shield locking surface from the body locking surface to release the shield.
