Patent number: 11925790Abstract: Processes and devices provide parenteral delivery of therapeutic fluids, in particular high-viscosity therapeutic fluids (e.g., protein therapeutics), by a chemical reaction that generates a gas. A device may include a first actuation chamber containing a first reagent, a second reaction chamber containing a second reagent, and a third therapeutic fluid chamber containing the therapeutic fluid. In a loaded configuration, a plunger separates the first chamber from the second chamber. In a delivery configuration, the plunger allows the first reagent from the first chamber to communicate and react with the second reagent from the second chamber. The generated gas acts upon a plunger to deliver the therapeutic fluid from the third chamber.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2018Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Eli Lilly and CompanyInventors: William Godwin Atterbury, Corrie Jo Bennison, Robert Jonathan Cain, Michael Funk Chiappetta, Jeffrey Leclair Ellis, David Arthur Holley, Mark Lafever, Beverly Ann Piatt, John Paul Tallarico

Patent number: 9594199Abstract: A method of producing plural pixellated display devices, each having a first component comprising an array of independently controllable pixel electrodes; and a second component comprising an array of pixel filters comprising different types of pixel filters of differing optical transmission characteristics, each pixel filter being associated with a respective one of said pixel electrodes. The first component has some distortion within the array of pixel electrodes causing a variation in pixel electrode pitch between different regions of the array. The second component is applied to the first component to provide misalignment between an alignment reference position on the first component and an alignment reference position on the second component. An array of pixel filters is formed in a neutral framework having a separation distance between each pixel filter that prevents any pixel filter of the array of pixel filters overlapping with more than one of said pixel electrodes.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2012Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: FLEXENABLE LIMITEDInventor: Paul Cain
