Patent GB-2584730-A (GB)
Title: Improved drug delivery device
Inventor: TAHIR SHABUDIN
IPC: A61M5/315
Filed: 2019-06-14
Abstract: A pre-filled syringe needs a variable length plunger rod 114 to accommodate different fill volumes. To assemble such a syringe, the length of plunger rod 114 may be altered by telescoping ratchet or rotational mechanism, and by partially inserting the plunger rod 114 into the barrel such that a forward end of the plunger rod contacts the bung 104. The plunger rod 114 is then slightly withdrawn, such that after assembly, the length of the plunger rod 114 defines a separation between the bung 104 and the forward end of the plunger rod 114. This clearance gap allows expansion of the pre-filled content during transport at high altitude without leakage.

Title: Methods and tools for remote frailty and gait analysis
Inventor: IOANNIS GKOUZIONIS
IPC: G06T7/00
Filed: 2021-04-07
Abstract: Using a motion capture system with a camera and computer arrangement, performing gait analysis of a person using machine learning (artificial intelligence) to automatically diagnose frailty. Video is taken of patients and used as input and a human pose estimation software retrieves coordinates of body parts which are then transformed into signals and movement histograms to be used as feature descriptors. The camera and software work in a high frames per second rate and thus lead to greater accuracy. No marker-based (i.e. wearable markers/devices) motion capture is needed, meaning the method of diagnosing frailty is less invasive.

Title: Fuel injection system
Inventor: ANDREW PLAYLE
IPC: F02M63/02
Filed: 2021-08-26
Abstract: A fuel injection system 14 for a compression ignition internal combustion engine. The system comprises a fuel pump 20 comprising a pumping chamber 33, a first outlet valve 34 to control fuel delivery from the fuel pump to a primary accumulator 24 (common rail) in communication with fuel injectors. A secondary accumulator 40, and a second outlet valve 36 to control fuel delivery from the pumping chamber to the secondary accumulator. The first outlet valve controls communication between the accumulators, and the outlet valves are configured such that pressure in the secondary accumulator between pumping events is lower than in the primary accumulator. Lower fuel pressure in the secondary accumulator than in the primary accumulator means that pressure spikes in the pumping chamber are reduced, thereby reducing fatigue stress on components of the fuel pump. The secondary accumulator may also have pressure control means 50 with a leakage path 52 to a low pressure drain.
