An auto-injector for receiving and operating a syringe, the auto-injector comprising a housing for receiving the syringe. The housing comprises a main body and a door operable into a first position and a second position, wherein the syringe is receivable within the housing when the door is in the first position. The door is configured to couple to: (i) a first plunger driver for priming thereof on a first movement of the door; and (ii) a second plunger driver for priming thereof on a second movement of the door. The first and second plunger drivers are configured on activation of the auto-injector to drive a plunger forward within the auto-injector to operate the syringe received within the auto-injector.

A medicament delivery device is presented having a housing, a delivery member cover slidably arranged in the housing, a medicament container housing arranged in the housing, a forward-biased rotator structure configured to move the medicament container housing in a forward direction in the housing, wherein the delivery member cover is configured to be moved axially from an extended position relative to the housing to a retracted position, thereby causing the rotator structure to rotate from a first rotator position to a second rotator position, and a forward-biased plunger rod extending axially inside the rotator structure and having a first axial engagement position with the rotator structure when the rotator structure is in the first rotator position and the second rotator position, the rotator structure having a first rotator guide track structure configured to cooperate with an inner surface structure of the housing.

Various exemplary drug delivery device sensing modules and methods of using drug delivery device sensing modules are provided. In general, a sensing module can be configured to be attached to a drug delivery device configured to deliver a drug. The drug delivery device can be any of a variety of types of drug delivery devices, such as a syringe, an injection device (e.g., an autoinjector, a jet injector, and an infusion pump), a nasal delivery device, and an inhaler. The sensing module can be configured to gather data for one or more parameters related to drug delivery and to transmit data indicative of the gathered data to an external source configured to analyze the data received from the sensing module.

A drug delivery device is provided, including a housing, a drug storage container, a plunger, a plunger biasing member, a releaser, and a shock absorber. The housing defines a longitudinal axis and has an opening. The drug storage container includes a barrel, a stopper, and a delivery member, where the stopper is movably positioned within the barrel. The delivery member is positioned at a distal end of the barrel and has an insertion end configured to extend at least partially through the opening during a delivery state. The plunger is moveable toward the distal end of the drug storage container to engage the stopper and expel a drug from the drug storage container through the delivery member. The plunger biasing member is coupled with the plunger and configured to urge the plunger toward the distal end of the drug storage container. The releaser member has a first position wherein the releaser member prevents the plunger from moving into the delivery state and a second position wherein the releaser member does not prevent the plunger from moving into the delivery state. The shock absorber is configured to absorb an impact force and prevent unintended movement of the releaser member.

Embodiments relate to using sensor data and location data from a device to generate augmented reality images. A mobile device pose can be determined (a geographic position, direction and a three dimensional orientation of the device) within a location. A type of destination in the location can be identified and multiple destinations can be identified, with the mobile device receiving queue information about the identified destinations from a server. A first image can be captured. Based on the queue information, one of the identified destinations can be selected. The geographic position of each identified destination can be identified, and these positions can be combined with the mobile device pose to generate a second image. Finally, an augmented reality image can be generated by combining the first image and the second image, the augmented reality image identifying the selected one destination.

According to some embodiments of the invention, a surgical robot includes a robot arm having an end effector, the end effector comprising a needle assembly. The surgical robot further includes a robot control system operatively connected to the robot arm, and an end effector control system operatively connected to the end effector. The robot control system provides control signals for operation of the robot arm to move the end effector to selected positions relative to a subject. The end effector control system is configured to provide signals for operation of the end effector to at least one of inject material through the needle assembly to a selected location within the subject's body or extract material through the needle assembly from the selected location within the subject's body.
