Abstract: A drug delivery device for delivering a medicament includes a housing, a pump, drive component, an inlet fluid path, an outlet fluid path, an inlet pressure sensor, an outlet pressure sensor, and a controller. The pump is coupled with the housing. The drive component is for driving the pump. The inlet fluid path is configured to deliver medicament to the pump. The outlet fluid path is configured to receive medicament from the pump. The inlet pressure sensor is positioned along the inlet fluid path and configured to measure inlet fluid pressure. The outlet pressure sensor is positioned along the outlet fluid path and configured to measure outlet fluid pressure. The controller is workingly coupled with the inlet pressure sensor, the outlet pressure sensor, and the drive component, wherein the controller is configured to adjust at least one parameter of the drive component based on input information received from the inlet pressure sensor and/or the outlet pressure sensor.

Abstract: A device for connecting tubes for a drug delivery system includes a connecting portion having a first tube channel, a second tube channel, a connecting heating element, and a carriage assembly. The first tube channel is adapted to receive a first tube, and the second tube channel is adapted to receive a second tube. The connecting heating element is positioned adjacent to and/or intersecting the first and second tube channels and is adapted to selectively heat at least a portion of the first and second tube. The carriage assembly moves the heated first and second tubes into end-to-end contact with each other to couple the first and second tubes together.

Abstract: A novel back and neck orthotic device is disclosed. This back and neck orthotic device includes an elastic matrix layer; an electronic textile layer which electrochemically generates electrical energy when stretched; Additionally, an alert module is mounted to the one side of the elastic matrix layer, detecting when a person bends and alerting them correspondingly. When used, it is only necessary to attach the back and neck orthotic device to person's back and/or neck. When the back or neck is bent, the elastic matrix layer is elastically deformed, resulting in the electronic textile layer is to be deformed as well, allowing the electronic textile to output a voltage. When the output voltage exceeds the preset voltage threshold, the alert module is triggered to remind the user to correct their posture.
