  • Publication number: 20160085331
    Abstract: In one aspect of the teachings herein, a physical activity tracking system includes a wearable electronic device that uses dual touch points for detecting control inputs by a user. Processing within the device complements the dual touch point interface by requiring simultaneous touch detections to register user inputs to the device, and by mapping dual-touch detections of different duration to different control actions. Use of the dual-touch arrangement and the associated processing provides a number of advantages, including intuitive operation and minimization of accidental activations by the user. Other advantages of the touch interface include the ability to seat or mount the device in a variety of carriers, such as bracelets, etc., that complement wearability of the device, while still allowing for convenient charging.

  • Patent number: 8216192
    Abstract: A medication and needle module (20) for an injection device. The module (20) includes a housing (22) including a first portion (39) and a second portion (38) detachably connected together, the second housing portion having a periphery complementarily shaped with a cavity (154) in the injection device (150) to be loadable therein, a primary container (120) within the first housing portion and including a medication filled reservoir (124), a secondary container (70) within the second housing portion and including a medication tillable reservoir, a needle cassette (60) rotatably mounted within the second housing portion and including a plurality of delivery needles (64), and a transfer needle assembly (100) within the housing. The detachability of the second housing portion from the first housing portion permits the second housing portion with the secondary container and the needle cassette to be loaded as a unit independently of the first housing portion into the injection device cavity for use.

  • Patent number: 7988678
    Abstract: A needle mounting assembly for mounting a pen needle in fluid communication with a medication cartridge. A collet defines an opening in which is slidably fittable the outlet end of the cartridge. The collet is shiftable relative to the cartridge outlet end. When the collet is disposed in a first axial position, a plurality of fingers of the collet extend forward of the cartridge outlet end and are disposed in a first radial arrangement in which a needle hub of the pen needle can be freely axially placed onto and freely axially removed from the plurality of fingers. When the collet is moved to a second position, the plurality of fingers are shifted by engagement with the cartridge outlet end to operationally secure the needle hub. When the collet is moved back to the first position, the plurality of fingers shift back for free axial removal of the needle hub from the mounting assembly.
