Abstract: Compactable gastric residence systems comprising therapeutic agent formulations for sustained gastric release of therapeutic agents are disclosed, as well as methods and systems for encapsulating such gastric residence systems. The methods and systems for encapsulating the gastric residence systems can be automated from receiving a bulk of gastric residence systems, orienting, placing, compacting, securing, and encapsulating the gastric residence systems.

Abstract: A shoe-fit testing device includes a pseudo skeletal structure and a pseudo soft tissue structure. The pseudo skeletal structure approximates the bone structure of a human foot and ankle, and the pseudo soft tissue structure encompasses the pseudo skeletal structure. The shoe-fit testing device is capable of transitioning between a compressed state and an uncompressed state. In the uncompressed state, the shoe-fit testing device has a joint girth that is measured at a first value. In the compressed state, the shoe fit testing device has a joint girth that is measured at a second value that is less than the first value. As such, the shoe-fit testing device approximates the flexibility and compressibility of the human foot without requiring a live model.
