Publication number: 20240082488Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide swallowable devices, preparations and methods for delivering drugs and other therapeutic agents within the GI tract. Particular embodiments provide a swallowable device such as a capsule for delivering drugs into the intestinal wall or other GI lumen. Embodiments also provide various drug preparations that are configured to be contained within the capsule, advanced from the capsule into the intestinal wall and degrade within the wall to release the drug to produce a therapeutic effect. The preparation can be coupled to a delivery mechanism having one or more balloons or other expandable devices which are expandable responsive to a condition in the small intestine or other GI lumen to advance the preparation out of the capsule into the intestinal wall. Embodiments of the invention are particularly useful for the delivery of drugs which are poorly absorbed, tolerated and/or degraded within the GI tract.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 5, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: Rani Therapeutics, LLCInventors: Mir IMRAN, Peter HERRMANN, Baber SYED, Timothy H.

Patent number: 11579010Abstract: A load cell includes a bearing element configured for a hoist that includes a hook, a suspension with an orifice that receives a shaft of the hook, a nut, and housing. The bearing element, preferably a ring, contacts the suspension, and has an orifice that receives the shaft therethrough with the nut secured to the shaft proximate to the bearing element. Strain gauges are mounted on the ring side wall being equally spaced. A second suspension orifice concentric with the first orifice receives the ring with strain gauges therein. For improved accuracy, a thrust roller bearing and two thrust washers are positioned on sides of the ring, all of which are preferably positioned in a cup member that is received in the second orifice. A clearance fit is provided with respect to each of protruding upper and lower overhanging cylindrical ring lips and the cup to protect the gauges.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2020Date of Patent: February 14, 2023Assignee: Motion Laboratories, Inc.Inventors: Peter Herrmann, Philip Nubile
