Abstract: The introduction of electronics into a drug delivery device may introduce certain technical challenges, such as durability, electro-mechanical integration, and drug delivery performance. The present disclosure provides solutions for inclusion of an electronics module with an inhaler. For example, heat stakes may be used to secure a printed circuit board (PCB) to an electronics module's housing. Also for example, a slider may be used to transfer vertical movement of an inhaler's yoke to an electronics module's switch. Also for example, certain seals may be used when interfacing the electronics module to other portions of the device's housing to achieve a desired performance.

Abstract: A bottom garment including a front panel, a back panel, and a garment lining. The front panel formed of a first fabric and the garment lining formed of a second fabric. The garment lining attached to an inside surface of the front panel and an inside surface of the back panel. The garment lining attached above a crotch point of the garment such that the garment lining is less restrictive than the front panel.

Abstract: A dispensing assembly, including a case including at least one aperture, a drive gear operatively arranged to engage the case, a tablet disc rotatably arranged in the case and including a plurality of compartments, and an electronics assembly, including a motor engaged with the drive gear, and a housing operatively arranged to engage the tablet disc, wherein the motor is arranged to rotate the electronics assembly and the tablet disc with respect to the case to align the plurality of compartments with the at least one aperture.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses compounds of the formula (I), wherein the variables are defined herein which are suitable for the modulation of ROR? and the treatment of diseases related to the modulation of ROR?. The present invention also encompasses processes of making compounds of formula (I) and pharmaceutical preparations containing them.

Abstract: A bottom garment for providing comfort to the wearer. The bottom garment may include a front panel and a back panel, both the front panel and the back panel formed of a high weft-stretch fabric. The bottom garment may also include a garment lining formed of a higher weft-stretch fabric, low weight fabric attached on the inside of the panels inside of the garment, above a crotch point of the bottom garment. The stretch in the weft direction of the garment lining is greater than a stretch in the weft direction of the front panel and the back panel. The stretch in the warp direction of the garment lining is less than the stretch in the weft direction of the garment lining. The bottom garment may further include an elastic support band for maintaining the position of the garment when the garment is worn.

Abstract: A split seal ring having end faces that self-align in both the axial and radial directions is prepared by forming an opposing first pair of angled grooves extending from an inner edge partway across the seal ring inner diameter, and a second pair of angled grooves extending from the inner edge partway across the seal ring rear surface. In embodiments, corresponding grooves meet to form V-shapes. Additional grooves can extend from the outer edge partway across the inner diameter. Corresponding grooves extending from the outer and inner edges on the inner diameter can terminate at locations that are offset radially and/or angularly. By applying an outward force, the seal ring is split at the groove locations into split ring sections having mating end faces. The resulting end face geometry is sufficiently complex to cause both radial and axial realignment as the seal ring halves are mated together.

Abstract: An improved rotor or stator split ring seal assembly includes a flexible ring-advancing mechanism that advances at least one of the split ring halves radially inward, so that during assembly the split ring halves meet before adjacent elastomeric members, thereby preventing the elastomeric members from expanding between the seal ring halves and interfering with their alignment. The ring-advancing mechanism is flexed as the seal is assembled, thereby allowing the ring halves to be seated in the housing. The ring-advancing mechanism can be removable after assembly or internal to the seal. In various embodiments, the ring-advancing mechanism is a flexible bracket, a coil spring, or a vertical or horizontal leaf spring. Separate, identical ring-advancing mechanisms can be included with each of the housing halves so as to advance the split ring halves symmetrically.

Abstract: A clamshell half of a split ring mechanical seal face assembly comprises a split seal ring half having circumferential and proximal surfaces that are seated against corresponding radial and axial support surfaces of a holder half. At least one extending member extends from a hole in the proximal surface to an arcuate slot in the axial support surface, or vice-versa, and thereby radially constrains the split seal ring half to remain unitized with the holder half during clamshell assembly, while permitting rotation of the split seal ring half about a shaft axis over a limited range, which in embodiments is between 2 degrees and 20 degrees. Embodiments further include a secondary seal between the holder half and split seal ring half that frictionally resists displacement of the split seal ring half.
