Patent number: 11635167Abstract: A camera mount includes a pivotable assembly of a pair of arms and a pocket into which an end of one of the arms is inserted, in one of a plurality of discrete orientations. The arms are pivotably joined to one another by a fastener and permitted to be aligned at one of a plurality of angles. The camera mount is installed in a track, a rail or another system mounted to a fixture of a materials handling facility or another environment, and a camera module is mounted to another end of one of the arms. A position of the camera module is selected by installing the camera mount into a desired location on the track, the rail or the other system. An orientation of the camera module is selected by selecting the one of the plurality of discrete orientations and aligning the arms at one of the plurality of angles.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Travis Justin Hosler, Peter Hoeft, Michael Lim, Joseph Horrell, Bruno Bianchessi Alves

Publication number: 20180099099Abstract: A safety member for use with an injection device is disclosed. The safety member includes a blocking ring extending into a housing of the injection device in blocking association with a latch member associated with a trigger mechanism of the injector, in which the blocking ring blocks movement of a portion of the trigger mechanism into a firing position. The safety member further includes a manipulable portion disposed outside the housing and configured for hand-manipulation by a user to remove the safety member from the housing to unblock the firing mechanism to enable firing of the injector.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2017Publication date: April 12, 2018Applicant: Antares Pharma, Inc.Inventors: Julius C. Sund, Eric Lagman, Peter Hoeft, Paul R. Lesch, JR., Thomas E. Kramer

Patent number: 8915889Abstract: A medicament dispensing mechanism is disclosed that is configured to eject successive doses of the medicament from a medicament chamber. An embodiment of the dispensing mechanism includes a housing and a plunger rod configured for ejecting the doses of medicament from the chamber. The dispensing mechanism further includes an actuation mechanism that comprises a trigger associated with the housing and having a ready and a fired position with respect thereto. The trigger is configured for manipulation by a user for successive movement in a generally axial dosing motion from the ready position to the fired position in which the trigger is associated with the plunger rod to cause the plunger rod to eject one of the doses of a predetermined volume and a resetting motion from the fired position to the ready position that comprises axial rotation, wherein the trigger is uncoupled from the plunger rod during the resetting motion.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2013Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Antares Pharma, Inc.Inventors: Janice L. Cox, Matthew Rust, Thomas E. KraMer, Peter Hoeft

Patent number: 6908005Abstract: A can end made of sheet metal for containers which in a closed state has an increased inner pressure compared to an ambient pressure. The can end includes a substantially flat central panel, a portion in the central panel is smaller with respect to the panel, and is adapted to be broken out of the panel by tearing. The smaller portion is defined by a score line, and a tab that is adapted for gripping and serving for opening the smaller portion. The tab is mounted at the central panel. In a longitudinally limited section of the can end, following a starting portion of the score line, at least one of a metal structure and structure lines of the sheet metal below the score line have a substantially higher density compared to a metal structure of the sheet metal below at least adjacent score line sections for temporarily blocking the opening process, which is difficult to control, after initially breaking or tearing open the score line.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 1999Date of Patent: June 21, 2005Assignee: Schmalbach-Lubeca AGInventors: Lutz Strube, Peter Hoeft
