The device (1) further comprises a mechanism operable such that, after a dose delivery operation was completed, the piston rod (9) is moved into the proximal direction with respect to the bung (5) by a back off distance (D), wherein in the initial state, a distance between a distal end of the piston rod (9) and a proximal end of the bung (5) is greater than zero, with the distance between the piston rod (9) and the bung (5) in the initial state being defined by the back off distance (D). Furthermore, a method for assembling a drug delivery device (1) is provided.

An illustrative cable connector hand tool and associated method are operable to permit cable connection sections to respectively pass through a side opening of hand tool members into a center aperture of the tool members. In one illustrative embodiment, the hand tool members are formed with a recessed portion adapted to receive an end of one of a pair of cable connectors such that mating edges of the cable connectors used to couple the cable connection sections are visible when the cable connectors are in a coupled configuration abutting each other. An illustrative embodiment includes the recessed portion formed with a plurality of keyway indentions or recesses spaced apart in the center aperture that are operable to engage keys, protrusions, or lugs on an outer wall of the cable connectors.

A pipe processing tool that is configured to deform the end of a pipe so that the circumferential shape of the end of the pipe generally matches the circumferential shape of an adjacent pipe end. Matching the circumferential shapes of the pipe ends is advantageous during a pipe attachment process. The pipe processing tool can include a deformation ring with a plurality of pipe deformation members. Each pipe deformation member faces radially inward and is actuatable in a radial direction toward and away from the center of the deformation ring in order to permit engagement with the pipe. Each pipe deformation member is individually and separately actuatable from the other pipe deformation members so that the circumferential shapes of the pipes can be altered by controlling suitable ones of the pipe deformation members.

A fluid ejection module mounting apparatus, including a module mount having a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, a fluid ejection module mounted to the module mount, and a clamp assembly including a recessed portion, a clamp along a wall of the recessed portion, and a lever coupled to the clamp and configured to move the clamp from an open position to a closed position. The horizontal portion has an opening configured to receive a fluid ejection module and the vertical portion has a protruding portion. The protruding portion of the module mount is configured to mate with the recessed portion of the clamp assembly.

The present disclosure is related to a device 100 configured for aligning a first hole 131 of a first flange 130 with a second hole 141 of a second flange 140. The device 100 comprises a base 101, a shaft 110 extending from the base 101 and a first and a second pusher 115, 116. The shaft 110 is configured to move between a retracted position and an extended position. The shaft 110 in the extended position extends from the first hole 131 into the second hole 141. The first and second pushers 115, 116 are also configured to be moved radially outwardly from the shaft 110 to exert pressure against an inner wall of the first and second holes 131, 141. Methods for aligning a first and a second hole 130, 140 are also provided.

A ceiling mount support tool for temporarily mounting an electrical device, such as a ceiling fan to a ceiling bracket. The ceiling mount support tool has a shaft, a ball joint at the proximal end of the shaft, and a socket at the distal end of the shaft. The ceiling mount support tool is mounted to a ceiling flange, and the ceiling fan is mounted to the ceiling mount support tool. Thereafter, electrical wires can be connected, and then the ceiling fan and the ceiling mount support tool can be removed. The ceiling fan with the wires connected can then be mounted to the ceiling bracket.

A method and apparatus for inserting at least a portion of a sensor into a patient is provided. Simple and easy to use mechanisms are provided that can position the sensor or any other device accurately with minimal complication. The method and apparatus can include an inserter device for use with the sensor. The method and apparatus can be for use in continuous or semi-continuous monitoring systems such as analyte monitoring systems.

Provided are an apparatus and method of aligning optical axes of lenses and assembling a camera module that are capable of adjusting the optical axes of the lenses. The apparatus for aligning the optical axes of the lenses and assembling the camera module includes a support block to support a substrate at which an image sensor is installed, a displacement sensor to measure a tilted state of the image sensor, a fastener to fasten or loosen fastening components to couple a lens holder to the substrate, and a controller to control a fastening level of the lens holder by the fastener to correct a tilted state according to a measurement result of the displacement sensor. The optical axis of the lens can be rapidly and precisely adjusted and assembled by use of the above described apparatus and method.

Methods and systems for installing a plug into an aperture of an article are provided, such as drain hole in an electrocoated vehicle floor pan. A robot system used herein includes a robot and a tool, where the tool includes a plug reservoir, a sensor, and an actuator. The sensor is configured to detect the aperture of the article and the actuator is configured to place one of the plugs from the plug reservoir into the aperture. The robot system can include a tool change nest, where the plug reservoir can be received with the tool change nest and the removed from a remainder of the tool. Quick change of plug reservoirs using the present technology improves operation speed and use of one or more tool change nests can reload and/or reconfigure the robot system for plugging various apertures with minimized input or interaction.
