Abstract: A hypodermic interface assembly is disclosed. The hypodermic interface assembly includes a hub, a cannula, and a cannula carrier. The cannula carrier is non-removably-connected to the cannula. The cannula carrier is controllably separable from the hub.

Abstract: An oriented distance measuring system can include a rail; an odometer including a wheel; a first controller; and a first sensor in communication with the first controller, the first sensor configured to sense rotation of the wheel, the first controller configured to collect data from the first sensor, the data being associated with the rotation of the wheel; and a second sensor configured to sense roll, pitch, and yaw of the system.

Abstract: A device can include a bar; a dynamic clamp assembled to the bar and configured to move with respect to the bar during use to capture dimensions of each of a plurality of physical objects to be measured; an orientation sensor; and a distance sensor configured to sense movement of the dynamic clamp with respect to the bar.

Abstract: A hypodermic interface assembly is disclosed. The hypodermic interface assembly includes a hub; a cannula; a core member; and a cannula carrier. The core member is non-removably connected to the cannula. The cannula carrier is non-removably connected to the attachment member. The cannula carrier is controllably separable from the hub. A subassembly is also disclosed. The subassembly includes a hub; a cannula; and a core member. A proximal end surface of the core member is arranged at a predetermined hub-core distance away from a distal end surface of the hub.

Abstract: A hypodermic interface assembly includes a hub, a cannula carrier connected to the hub, and a cannula connected to the cannula carrier. The cannula carrier includes an outer side surface including a first outer side surface portion, a second outer side surface portion, and a third outer side surface portion. The cannula extends through a passage formed by the cannula carrier.

Abstract: A hypodermic interface assembly includes a cannula and a hub. The hub is defined by a first portion and a second portion. The second portion of the hub is breakably-connected to the first portion of the hub. The cannula is joined to the second portion of the hub. The second portion of the hub is defined by an outer head surface portion having a first geometry. The second portion of the hub also includes an outer neck or groove surface portion having a second geometry. The first geometry of the outer head surface portion is greater than the second geometry of the outer neck or groove surface portion.
