Abstract: To offset waste heat generated by a photovoltaic cell during operation, a cooling system is coupled to the photovoltaic cell. The cooling system is coupled to a surface of the photovoltaic cell opposite another surface of the photovoltaic cell on which solar energy is incident. In various embodiments, the cooling system includes one or more tubes through which fluid is directed. The fluid for cooling the photovoltaic cell may be contaminated water that is directed to one or more solar desalination stills after absorbing heat from the photovoltaic cell to product distilled water. After being further heated by the solar desalination still, water may be directed to a membrane distillation module which produces additional distilled water from the water heated by the solar desalination still and by the photovoltaic cell.

Abstract: A system for embroidering a flame-resistant emblem uses flame-resistant threads for both the primary thread and the bobbin thread, as well as any accompanying supplemental fabrics. The flame-resistant primary thread protects the embroidered portion of the underlying material from any direct flame exposure. The flame-resistant bobbin thread ensures that the embroidered pattern cannot fall off of a garment, further flameproofing both the garment and present invention. Furthermore, a backing may be provided as a mechanism for providing a stitchwork surface and for adding dimensionality to the pattern. The backing may also be made of fireproof threads. The apparatus may also be utilized for appending a flame-resistant patch or patches onto a garment. Such a mechanism allows for attachment of flame-resistant threadwork onto any clothing.

Abstract: An autoinjector includes a case adapted to hold a medicament container, a needle shroud telescopically coupled to the case, and a plunger slidably disposed in the case. The needle shroud is movable between a first extended position, a retracted position, and a second extended position relative to the case. The plunger is movable between a proximal position, an intermediate position, and a distal position relative to the case. When the plunger is in the intermediate position and the needle shroud is in the retracted position, the plunger abuts the case to prevent the needle shroud from returning to the extended position. When the plunger is in the distal position and the needle shroud is in the second extended position, the plunger abuts the case to prevent the needle shroud from returning to the retracted position.

Abstract: An autoinjector includes a case having a rib, a needle shroud telescopically coupled to the case, a carrier slidably arranged in the case and adapted to hold a medicament container, and a collar rotatably and slidably disposed in the case and coupled to the needle shroud and the carrier. The needle shroud is movable between a first extended position, a retracted position and a locked second extended position. The carrier is movable from a first axial position to a second axial position relative to the case. The collar abuts the rib when the needle shroud is in the first extended position and the carrier is in the first axial position, and the collar disengages the rib when the needle shroud is in the retracted position and the carrier is in the second axial position.

Abstract: A detent mechanism for controlling translation between two components in a longitudinal direction includes a resilient beam on one of the components and a rhomboid ramp member on the other component. The resilient beam is essentially straight when relaxed and has a first beam head and is arranged to interact in a ramped engagement with respectively one of two ramps. Each ramp is on one longitudinal side of the rhomboid ramp member such that application of a translative force between the components in one longitudinal direction with the first beam head engaged to one of the ramps in a first state deflects the resilient beam in one transversal direction and such that application of a translative force between the components in the other longitudinal direction with the first beam head engaged to the other one of the ramps deflects the resilient beam in the other transversal direction.
