Abstract: A computerized electro-mechanical drug delivery device configured to deliver at least one dose of two or more medicaments. The device comprises a control unit. An electro-mechanical drive unit is operably coupled to the control unit and a primary reservoir for a first medicament and a secondary reservoir for a fluid agent, e.g. a second medicament. An operator interface is in communication with the control unit. A single dispense assembly is configured for fluid communication with the primary and the secondary reservoir. Activation of the operator panel sets a first dose from the primary reservoir and based on the first dose and a therapeutic dose profile, the control unit is configured to determine a dose or range of the fluid agent. Alternatively, the control unit determines or calculates a dose or range of a third medicament. Further, a dispense interface for use with a drug delivery device is disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a trigger mechanism for a drug delivery device comprising at least one energy storing element, an actuation element and a series of cascaded trigger elements. The trigger elements are pre-stressed with increasing pre-stressing and coupled to the at least one energy storing element such that the trigger elements, upon exerting a sufficient actuation force (Fa, U) on the actuation element, cause a cascaded release of increasing portions of energy stored in the at least one energy storing device. At least one of the trigger elements is equipped with a latch element directly coupling at least two trigger elements such that the latch element restrains at least one of these trigger elements to its pre-stressed state before exerting the actuation force (Fa, U).

Abstract: A turbomachine includes a compressor portion having an intake and a filtration system having an interior and an exterior. The filtration system is arranged upstream of the intake and includes a drain capable of fluid communication with the exterior of the filtration system. The drain includes a one-way valve that allows liquid separated from air flowing through the interior of the filtration system to pass through the drain to the exterior of the filtration system in a first direction, and substantially limits a flow of unfiltered air from entering the intake from the exterior in a second direction.

Abstract: An injection device (1) for administering a fixed dose of a medication is provided. The injection device (1) comprises a housing (2) wherein a drive mechanism comprising a drive member (3) is at least partially enclosed and a dosing element (34) which is fixed relative to the drive member (3).
