Patent number: 11918790Abstract: A drug injection device includes a last dose setting having a main drive pin, a drive wheel, a driven wheel, an abutment element fixedly coupled to, or integrally formed with, the driven wheel. The drive wheel has a rotation axis parallel to a longitudinal axis and is configured to be driven about the longitudinal axis by a knob and to be periodically driven in rotation about the rotation axis by the main drive pin, during a drug dose setting. The driven wheel has a second rotation axis parallel or coaxial to said longitudinal axis and is configured to be periodically driven about the longitudinal axis by the drive wheel. The abutment element is configured to prevent the rotation of the drive wheel about the longitudinal axis when the knob has made a predetermined number of full and/or partial rotations about the longitudinal axis correlated to the predetermined drug volume.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Stevanato Group S.P.A.Inventors: Oliver Taylor Harvey, Christopher John Hurlstone, Isobel Rachel Sands, Rhona Ann Sinclair

Patent number: 11480641Abstract: A perfusion chamber for use in a phantom includes a waterproof housing containing a porous material defining fluid paths between pores and tubular channels within the porous material. A reservoir for use in a phantom, a pump mechanism for use within the bore of an MRI scanner, a phantom for use in an MRI scanner, and a method for calibrating a scanning device are disclosed. Also disclosed is apparatus for validating images of a phantom that includes: one or more sensors for coupling to a phantom to be imaged; a control/logging system configured to: collect sensor data during imaging of the phantom and pass this as input to a computer model; compare the image data with reference image data produced using the computer model; and return a pass score depending on the comparison. A system and method for verifying images of a phantom are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2017Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Inventors: Xavier Golay, Aaron Oliver-Taylor, Tom Hampshire

Publication number: 20220079214Abstract: An aerosol generating device includes a rod of aerosol generating material and a filter rod, and tipping paper. The filter rod includes a first filter portion and a second filter portion. The first filter portion includes acetate tow and is positioned at a mouth end of the aerosol generating device. The second filter portion is biodegradable and extends from the first filter portion to the rod of aerosol generating material. The tipping paper surrounds the filter rod and a part of the rod of aerosol generating material. The second filter portion encloses a volume which is more than 50% of a combined volume enclosed by the first and second filter portions. The tipping paper includes a line of weakening extending from the mouth end towards the rod of aerosol generating material so that at least a portion of the tipping paper can be opened, and preferably removed, by a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2020Publication date: March 17, 2022Applicant: JT International S.A.Inventors: Oliver Taylor, Timothy Collins

Publication number: 20210386114Abstract: A filter for an aerosol generating article includes a first end for attachment to an aerosol generating article; a second end which is a mouth end which can be received in the mouth of a user; and tipping paper wrapped around the filter. The tipping paper provides four haptic regions which provide different touch experiences for a user's lips at the mouth end, wherein first and second haptic regions provide a first touch experience and third and fourth haptic regions provide a second touch experience. Rotation of the filter allows different haptic regions to contact the user's lips, and haptic regions arranged on opposing sides of the filter may provide a same or different touch experience for both the upper and lower lip of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 19, 2020Publication date: December 16, 2021Applicant: JT International S.A.Inventors: Oliver Taylor, Tim Collins
