Regulation of navigation speed among displayed items and tilt angle thereof responsive to user applied pressure

An electronic device can include a touch sensitive display screen and a controller circuit. The touch sensitive display screen identifies a location where a user is pressing and generates a force signal that indicates how hard the user is pressing. The controller circuit controls a speed at which information items are scrolled across the screen and controls a tilt angle of the displayed information items responsive to the force signal. The controller circuit graphically renders the tilt angle on the screen by tapering width of the displayed information items in a defined direction and regulates the tapered width responsive to the force signal. No tilt angle is rendered when the force signal indicates that the user is not pressing the screen. The scrolling speed and the tilt angle of the displayed information items are increased, to provide a visual indication to the user of the increased scrolling speed, responsive to the force signal indicating that the user is pressing harder against the screen.

Method of individually tracking and identifying a drug delivery device

A method of and system for identifying an individual drug delivery device and tracing its ownership. An individual drug delivery device, such as a patch, is coded with a unique identifier. Such coding is performed by using a bar code or by storing the identifier in a memory device in the drug delivery device. A database contains a record of the identifier, representing the drug delivery device. The identifier is read upon a transfer of the drug delivery device and the database is updated to include information such as the date of the transfer, the identity of the transferee and the prescribing physician. The ability to retrieve such information regarding specific drug delivery devices can result in the prevention of abuse of controlled substances contained therein.

Vehicle

An inverted vehicle in which the angle of tilt of a vehicle body due to acceleration can be reduced by ground engagement members. The vehicle causes assist wheels to engage the ground when acceleration of the vehicle exceeds a predetermined threshold value to accelerate / decelerate the vehicle. The acceleration may be either requested acceleration or actual acceleration. The ground contact points of the assist wheels are set so that higher the acceleration, the farther away the ground contact points are from the ground contact points of the drive wheels, in the direction opposite to the direction of the acceleration. When the acceleration is within a predetermined range, the vehicle body tilts to a corresponding angle, and when the acceleration exceeds the predetermined threshold value, the assist wheels engage the ground to prevent the vehicle body from tilting beyond a predetermined value.

Ergonomic cable tie installation tool

An ergonomic cable tie installation tool includes a generally pistol-shaped housing including a grip which depends from a barrel. Pivotally connected to the lower region of the grip is a trigger linkage of a trigger mechanism. The trigger mechanism also includes an intermediate linkage pivotally connected to the trigger linkage. The intermediate linkage is supported in the housing. The intermediate linkage is, in turn, connected to a tensioning mechanism also supported in the housing. The tensioning mechanism couples the intermediate linkage to the cable tie. Pivoting the trigger linkage toward the grip, normally by the hand of a user, causes the intermediate linkage to pivot resulting in the tensioning mechanism producing an increased tension in the cable tie. The trigger linkage is oriented relative to the grip such that pivoting it toward the grip requires the stronger fingers of the user's hand to travel more than the weaker fingers thereby improving the ergonomics of the tool. The trigger linkage may also make the respective travel distances of the stronger and weaker fingers more uniform also improving the ergonomics of the cable tie installation tool. Moreover, the trigger mechanism may provide for the tension force applied to the cable tie to increase as the trigger linkage is increasingly pivoted toward the closed position. Methods of operating the tool also provide improved ergonomics of the tool.
