  • Auto-injector
    Patent number: 11944788
    Abstract: An auto-injector (100) for use with a primed safety syringe (200). The auto-injector comprises: a first detector (312) configured, after activation of the auto-injector, to detect movement of a plunger (206, 222) of the safety syringe to a point on a delivery stroke thereof that is indicative of full dose delivery of a substance from the safety syringe.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2018
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2024
    Assignee: Owen Mumford Limited
    Inventors: Toby Cowe, Matthew John Watts, Dheeraj Ramakrishnan, Richard Apsey

  • Noise reduction by mobile communication devices in non-call situations
    Patent number: 8160263
    Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the invention is a mobile communication device having a digital signal processor (DSP), a speaker output node, a local audio source, and an analog front-end (AFE), wherein: (1) the DSP receives a first audio signal corresponding to sound captured by a microphone near a user of the device, (2) if the device is operating in a call mode, the DSP derives a background noise signal from the first audio signal, for subtraction from the first audio signal before transmission to the AFE, and (3) if the device is operating in a non-call mode, then the DSP (i) generates a speaker output signal which substantially corresponds to the first audio signal subtracted from a local audio signal provided by the local audio source and (ii) provides the speaker output signal to a speaker via the speaker output node.
