Abstract: Injection systems powered, controlled and network-enabled by a mobile device, and methods for powering and controlling an injection system using a mobile device, are disclosed. An injection device includes a fluid container having a fluid container exit port, an injection driving element adapted to displace fluid from the fluid container through the fluid container exit port, and a connection module connected to the injection driving element, connectable to a mobile device, and adapted to receive electrical power or injection input data from the mobile device.

Abstract: A medication filling and management system comprises a medication storage device for assisting patients in filling and managing medication supplies. The medication storage device includes a number of electronically monitored storage compartments and a communication system to identify a medication to be provided from an adjacent medication commercial package, automatically identify to a user which compartments of the storage device are to be filled with the identified medication from the commercial package, and detect and communicate the filling and dispensing of the medication from the storage device.

Abstract: Described herein is a smart module configured to work with injection devices. The smart module may include electronics such as sensors and indicators, and be programmed to detect environmental parameters. If the sensors detect that a parameter is outside of a predetermined boundary or range, then the indicators may be activated to notify the user that the injection device may not be safe for administering medicine.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods of detecting an impulse of energy given off by an injection device and determining a dosage of medicine based on the impulse. In one example, a module detects the vibrations given off by dialing a click-wheel on an autoinjector and determining the selected dosage of medicine based on the dialed dosage.

Abstract: Described herein is a smart dose monitoring device. The dose monitoring device may include electronics such as motion sensors, orientation sensors, and timers related to monitoring the time of and amount of dose administered during an injection event.

Abstract: Described herein is a programmable portable infusion device. The infusion device may include electronics such as sensors, and can be programmed to detect parameters related to the proper administration of infusion. If the sensors detect that a parameter is outside of a defined boundary or range, the infusion device may notify a user that it may not be safe to administer infusion and may prevent infusion from occurring.

Abstract: A system for assisting patients in sorting and dispensing medication supplies comprises a storage tray having a number of storage compartments, and a communication system to identify a medication to be provided from a pill bottle and, based upon the identification and a known regime, automatically identify which compartments of the storage tray are to be filled with the identified medication from the pill bottle and perform the filling of the storage tray. In doing so, a patient can simply open and present any number of pill bottles to the system, and then allow the system to arrange the medication in the storage tray according to the known regimen. The regimen and regimen updates are communicated to the system by means of a wired or wireless transmission to the system from a remote location (e.g. pharmacy or doctor's office), by direct user input, or by reading such information from a barcode or similar information carrier affixed to the pill bottles.

Abstract: An inflatable seatbelt system (“seatbelt system”) for a vehicle. The seatbelt system includes a shoulder belt anchor, a first lap belt anchor, a second lap belt anchor, an inflatable seatbelt, an inflator device, one or more crash sensors, a lap belt buckle, and a seatbelt fastener. The inflatable seatbelt extends between the shoulder belt anchor and the first lap belt anchor with the inflator device fixedly attached to the first lap belt anchor. The inflator device is actuated by the crash sensors to inflate the inflatable airbag. Furthermore, the second lap belt anchor has the lap belt buckle extending therefrom, which is selectively fastened to the seatbelt fastener that is slidable on the inflatable seatbelt.

Abstract: A self-adjusting seatbelt fastener (“seatbelt fastener”) for a seatbelt restraint system for a vehicle. The seatbelt fastener is comprised of a latch plate and an urging mechanism. The latch plate has a ring portion and a tongue portion, which is utilized for fastening to a lap belt buckle. The ring portion defines an opening for sliding a belt webbing therethrough. In addition, the ring portion of the latch plate has the urging mechanism slidably attached thereto. The urging mechanism extends substantially into the opening and flattens the belt webbing.

Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention is a belt guide apparatus (14) for an enhanced seatbelt restraint system (10) for a vehicle. The belt guide apparatus (14) includes a pivotal fastener (56) for attaching the belt guide apparatus (14) to a vehicle structure (20). The pivotal fastener (56) includes an interface portion (42) extending therefrom for supporting a belt (12) extending through the belt guide apparatus (14). Also, the pivotal fastener (56) is utilized for moving the belt guide apparatus (14) in three or more directions for maintaining the belt (12) substantially flat against the interface portion (42). Moreover, the interface portion (42) has a biasing mechanism (64) disposed adjacent thereto for pressing the belt (12) substantially flat against the interface portion (42).
