Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a fuel injection system (1) for supplying a combustion engine of a vehicle with fuel, in which method the fuel is conveyed at high pressure with the aid of a high-pressure pump (2), fed to a high-pressure accumulator (3), and injected into a cylinder of the combustion engine with the aid of at least one injector connected to the high-pressure accumulator (3). In order to detect any damage to the drive of the high-pressure pump (3), according to the invention a) the pressure (P) in the high-pressure accumulator (3) is measured and, on the basis of the measured values, a pressure drop (?P) in the high-pressure accumulator (3) caused by an injection into a cylinder is determined, b) a maximum pressure gradient is determined during a pressure build-up phase following the injection, c) the determined pressure drop (?P) and the determined maximum pressure gradient are put into proportion.

Abstract: A cassette unit sub-assembly for a medicament delivery device, the sub-assembly comprising: a body extending along a longitudinal axis from a proximal end to a distal end; a delivery member guard coaxially attached to the body and being axially movable relative to the body along the longitudinal axis; a lock member attached to the body; the lock member is movable relative to the delivery member guard between a locked position and an unlocked position; the lock member comprises a distally directed surface adjacent to a proximally directed surface of the delivery member guard in the locked position; and the distally directed surface of the lock member is spaced apart in a circumferential direction relative to the longitudinal axis from the proximally directed surface of the delivery member guard in the unlocked position.

Abstract: A method is for validating a data set in a distributed database system in which the data set is stored distributedly on computers of the distributed database system. The method includes sending a request to one of the computers by a central computer. The request has a command to check for a given criterion of a partial data set of the data set on the computer to which the request was sent.
