  • Patent number: 12128176
    Abstract: The present invention provides for the integration of drug dispersion methods into a drug or medicine delivery system. The drug dispersion methods used include shear (e.g., air across a drug, with or without a gas assist), capillary flow or a venturi effect, mechanical means such as spinning, vibration, or impaction, and turbulence (e.g., using mesh screens, or restrictions in the air path). These methods of drug dispersion allow for all of the drug in the system to be released, allowing control of the dosage size. These methods also provide for drug metering, fluidization, entrainment, deaggragation and deagglomeration. The present invention also provides for the integration of a drug sealing system into the device. The drug sealing system provides a way of blocking the migration of drug from one area of the package to another.

  • Patent number: 12127894
    Abstract: The present invention provides a clamp (10) for clamp for retaining a medical device in a medical apparatus. The clamp (10) includes a pair of opposed gripping elements (16). At least one of the gripping elements is substantially rotatably moveable to grip and apply a compressive force on a portion of the medical device when the portion it is placed between the gripping elements. The compressive force increases when the at least one of the gripping elements rotates in one direction and reduces when it rotates in an opposite direction.

  • Patent number: 12126399
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for detecting a fault across a pair of lines. Pulse power is applied across the pair of lines. The pulse power comprises alternating pulse on-time intervals and pulse off-time intervals. During a pulse off-time interval, a resistor is connected across the pair of lines and then disconnected when a voltage across the pair of lines reaches a first droop percentage in a first period of time. After disconnecting the resistor, it is determined whether the voltage across the pair of lines droops at least a second droop percentage within a second period of time that begins after the first period of time. Occurrence of a line-to-line fault across the pair of lines is determined when the voltage across the pair of lines droops by at least the second droop percentage or more within the second period of time.

  • Patent number: 12117936
    Abstract: Prefetch of microservices for incoming requests. The method determines for an incoming request a Service Level Objective (SLO) requirement for latency of a request type of the incoming request. The method generates a set of possible microservice sequences for the request including a probability of occurrence of each of the possible microservice sequences and determines a set of prefetch permutations for the set of possible microservice sequences. A latency score is calculated for each prefetch permutation and any prefetch permutations that do not meet the SLO requirement for latency of the request type are eliminated. An optimal prefetch permutation of the remaining prefetch permutations is selected by considering a total cost of the prefetch permutation based on a cost of running each microservice in the set of sequences.
