A system and method is provided for an injectable substance delivery pen comprising a microneedle hub assembly removably engaged with a pen device body which includes a cartridge, a plunger, and a drive mechanism. The hub assembly includes at least one microneedle for intradermal or shallow subcutaneous injection of the contents of the cartridge. The cartridge, plunger and drive mechanism components of the pen body are fabricated of non-compliant and non-compressible materials to allow effective communication of the cartridge contents via the microneedle patient interface.

A clamping assembly having a top and bottom and front and back orientation, at least one optical axis, and a pre-actuated state in which a fiber is not secured to the clamping assembly and a post-actuated state in which a fiber is secured to the clamping assembly, the clamping assembly comprising: (a) a housing; (b) a platform disposed in the housing and being fixed therein both radially and axially, the platform defining a fiber-receiving channel along the optical axis to receive at least one fiber, at least a portion of the fiber-receiving channel being accessible from the top; (c) a first cam member disposed in the housing above and adjacent to the fiber-receiving channel, the first cam member being radially actuateable within the housing, the first cam member having a first cam surface; (d) a second cam member disposed in the housing and axially slidable therein, the second cam member having a second cam surface adjacent the first cam surface and configured such that, upon forward motion of the second cam member relative to the first cam member, the first cam member is urged downward as a result of a camming action between the first and second cam surfaces; and (e) an actuator disposed slidably within the housing behind and adjacent to the second cam member and configured such that, when moved forward, it forces the second cam member forward relative to the first cam member.

An electrophoretic display that is switchable between a grayscale updating mode and a monochrome updating mode. The monochrome updating mode provides for extreme pixel states only including black and white, whereas the grayscale updating mode provides for an intermediate grayscale pixel state. A suitably selected transition signal is applied when switching from the grayscale updating mode to the monochrome updating mode. The transition signal involves a drive pulse that serves to reduce the level of remnant DC voltage otherwise occurring in each pixel due to differences in the grayscale updating mode and the monochrome updating mode.

A driving support device, a driving support method, and a computer program provide an image of the peripheral environment of a vehicle which is captured by a camera. The traveling state of the vehicle is obtained and, based on same, a blind spot region for a driver created by a right front pillar, as it would appear after a predetermined period of time, is calculated by taking into consideration the time lag between capture of an image by the camera and projection of that image by a projector. An image corresponding to the calculated blind spot region is extracted from the image captured by the camera, and the extracted image is projected onto the inside surface of the right front pillar.

An improved combination card and card retaining member for removably securing the card to the card retaining member, the card having formed within it an aperture and a slot connecting the aperture with an edge of the card, and the card retaining member being a member, such as a ring, which may be passed through the slot and into the aperture to secure the card to the card retaining member. The aperture and slot are configured and located on the card in such a manner as to improve the ease of attachment and detachment of the card to and from the card retaining member while minimizing the risk of accidental detachment of the card from the card retaining member. One or more cards may be used simultaneously with a single card retaining member. A preferred use of the invention is to retain and organize credit cards.

A predetermined number of erasable blocks positioned at a start of a volume area in a semiconductor memory card are provided so as to include volume management information. A user area following the volume management information includes a plurality of clusters. A data length NOM of an area from a master boot record & partition table sector to a partition boot sector is determined so that the plurality of clusters in the user area are not arranged so as to straddle erasable block boundaries. Since cluster boundaries and erasable block boundaries in the user area are aligned, there is no need to perform wasteful processing in which two erasable blocks are erased to rewrite one cluster.

A method is disclosed for creating a 2D barcode. In an embodiment, the method includes: embedding primary information that can be read by a 2D-barcode-reader in a primary information pattern, and embedding secondary information that is made difficult to reproduce without alteration in a visible pattern. In an embodiment, the visible pattern is embedded within the barcode in at least one area that does not contain any primary information.
