Abstract: A system for packaging fluid into a reservoir may comprise a fluid production assembly. The system may further comprise a reservoir chain dispenser and an enclosure having a plurality of compartments. A first compartment may include an infeed aperture. The system may further comprise a dispenser interface including an outlet cover retainer displaceable between a stowed position and an infeed aperture plugging position. The system may further comprise a reservoir singulation assembly. The system may further comprise a filling assembly including cartridge having an inlet in communication with the fluid production assembly and outlet including a sharp. The cartridge may be at least partially in the first compartment. The system may further comprise a second and third compartment. The system may further comprise a particulate inspection system and a marking assembly. The system may further comprise an outfeed assembly including a first and second array of receptacles.

Abstract: A particulate inspection system may comprise a reservoir rest body having a pattern of light and dark regions. The system may further comprise a rest body backlight. The system may further comprise an external illuminator. The system may further comprise a vision assembly opposite the rest body. The vision assembly may include at least one imager. Each imager may have a field of view encompassing at least a portion of rest body. The system may further comprise a controller in data communication with each of the at least one imager. The controller may be configured to command capture of a series of images from each imager, receive the images, process the images into processed images, detect regions of interest within the processed images, analyze the regions of interest, and classify the regions of interest as one of a bubble and something other than bubble.

Abstract: A syringe pump may comprise a main housing. The syringe pump may further comprise a drive head coupled to a drive head tube and displaceable relative to the main housing. The drive head may include a means for positioning and retaining a plunger flange of a plunger of a syringe in alignment with a fiducial reference axis. The syringe pump may further comprise a means for positioning and retaining a barrel of the syringe in alignment with the fiducial reference axis. The syringe pump may further comprise a load cell assembly including a load cell and a contact in mechanical communication with the load cell. The contact may be disposed on the drive head and in alignment with the fiducial reference axis.

Abstract: An illumination source includes a housing (101), at least one first light emitting diode (LED) (102) coupled to the housing and configured to emit green-shifted white light, at least one second LED (104) coupled to the housing and configured to emit blue-shifted white light, and at least one third LED (106) coupled to the housing and configured to emit at least one of a red-orange light and an amber light.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for generating white light at points that are along and near a black body locus. In one embodiment, an illumination source includes a housing (101), at least one first light emitting diode (LED) (102) coupled to the housing and configured to emit green-shifted white light, at least one second LED (104) coupled to the housing and configured to emit blue-shifted white light, and at least one third LED (106) coupled to the housing and configured to emit at least one of a red-orange light and an amber light.
