  • Patent number: 9050409
    Abstract: A patient device includes a case and a user interface for interaction between a patient and the patient device. The case may include a projection unit which projects information onto a surface separate from the case. The user interface may include a display unit for displaying information relating to the patient device integrated into the case and an additional display unit for displaying information relating to the patient device, which is external to the case. The externally provided display unit may be coupled to the case such that it can be at least one of folded, tilted, pulled out or unrolled relative to the case.

  • Publication number: 20090299296
    Abstract: A container for receiving liquids with different concentrations of an active substance that is to be administered or dosed, wherein the container includes a hollow body and a displaceable element for expelling the liquid is located for longitudinal movement in the hollow body, and wherein the cross-sectional surface area of the hollow body is inversely proportional to the concentration of the substance, such that, with identical strokes or longitudinal movements of the displaceable element, the discharged amount of active substance remains independent of the concentration of the substance in the container.
