Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location.

Abstract: A method for user passcode authentication is provided. The method includes accessing a user information database with predefined user input option parameters and generating a random arrangement of input options from the predefined user input option parameters. The method includes manifesting the random arrangement of input options on an interactive display interface and receiving a selection of the interactive display interface input options. The method also includes comparing the received selection of interactive display interface options to the predefined user input option parameters.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for generating, distributing, and/or presenting social networking content in conjunction with video content are described. In accordance with various embodiments, social networking related information, e.g., comments, remarks and/or a twitter feed, are displayed in conjunction with the display of video to which the social networking information relates. The social networking related information may be displayed on the same or a different device from that which is used to display the video comments. In some embodiments, the social networking information, e.g., comments on a program, event or broadcast, are displayed on a personal computer or other device such as a mobile telephone, while video content is being viewed, e.g., on a television which is provided video content via a set top box. A knowledgeable moderator can review, supplement, add and delete comments in real time enhancing the overall social networking session.

Abstract: A system and computer-implemented method for better managing internal access by sales agents to electronic contact records by limiting access to records already associated with other agents. A request for access is received and a search is performed. If the record does not exist, the agent is allowed to create it. If the record exists and there is no associated agent or if the requesting agent is the associated agent, the agent is allowed to access it. If the record exists and is associated with another agent, the requesting agent is required to enter an identifying piece of information about the contact, the entered information is matched with the correct information stored in the database, and if they match, the agent is allowed to access to the record. A limit may be set on the time during which the agent is allowed to access the record before renewing the request.

Abstract: A radially expandable backup ring (50) with relatively rigid segments (56) and relatively resilient segments (58) that are integral with one another to circumferentially urge the relatively rigid segments (56) together when the backup ring (50) expands. The backup ring (50) may radially expand to reduce or eliminate a radial gap between the backup ring (50) and a radially inwardly facing surface of a corresponding cased wellbore (22) to prevent or minimize axial extrusion of a corresponding sealing member (32), such as a compressible packer seal of a cased-hole retrievable packer assembly. The relatively resilient segments (58) allow the backup ring (50) to elastically expand and retract to prevent axial extrusion of the sealing member (32). The relatively rigid support segments (54) may be axially aligned with a corresponding relatively resilient segment (58) of the backup ring to prevent axial extrusion of the sealing member (32) through the corresponding relatively resilient segment (58).

Abstract: A backup assembly is provided for backing up a seal assembly that seals a gap between two components of a joint assembly. The backup assembly may include an elastomer, a spring element embedded within the elastomer, and first and second rings located adjacent to the elastomer on opposite sides of the spring element. The spring element may be a garter spring, and the elastomer may be over-molded around the spring. The elastomer may have opposing wing extensions that extend respectively along the first and second rings, and the rings may be steel rings. The elastomer, spring element, and rings form an annular backup ring. The backup assembly may be employed in a seal assembly for sealing a gap between two components of a joint assembly. The seal assembly may include a diaphragm seal component, and the backup assembly operates to provide backup and extrusion resistance for the seal component.
