Abstract: A needle-free injector based on underwater discharge using a shock wave according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a pressure chamber in which a driving fluid is stored; a medicine chamber communicating with the pressure chamber to store medicine; a pressure transmitting unit interposed between the pressure chamber and the medicine chamber to apply propulsion pressure to the medicine stored in the medicine chamber, when a volume of the pressure chamber is expanded; an injecting unit provided at one side of the medicine chamber to discharge the medicine; and an electrode unit to expand the volume of the pressure chamber, by generating bubbles in the driving fluid stored in the pressure chamber and causing break down.

Abstract: Disclosed is a needle-free injector. The needle-free injector includes a first current applying unit that applies a first current, a first coil that receives the first current from the first current applying unit, a second coil that moves to apply pressure to a drug, a housing of which the outside is surrounded by the first coil and in which the second coil is positioned, a drug chamber which is connected to the housing and in which the drug is positioned, and an injection nozzle positioned in the drug chamber to inject the drug.

Abstract: Disclosed is a needle-free injector including a power supply unit, a coil that receives current from the power supply unit, a drug chamber in which a drug is positioned, a housing connected to the drug chamber, a separation membrane that separates the housing and the drug chamber, a metal material adjacent to a separation membrane, and an injection unit positioned in the drug chamber to inject the drug. The coil is positioned outside the housing or outside the drug chamber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a needle-free injector using pulsed shock waves, the needle-free injector comprising: a power unit generating pulsed power; a pulsed shock wave generating unit which receives the pulsed power and generates pulsed shock waves; an upper housing in which a liquid and the pulsed shock wave generating unit are disposed; a lower housing which is connected to the upper housing, and in which a drug is disposed; a shock wave transmission unit which is provided between the upper housing and the lower housing to separate the upper housing and the lower housing; and an injection unit which is disposed in the lower housing and inject the drug.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ejector device for vacuum drying having at least first and second passages for connecting a first chamber with a second chamber, wherein the chambers are arranged substantially at right angles with respect to each other, and the ejector is adapted to vacuum dry the inside of the second chamber by means of high speed air flow toward the first chamber. The flow toward the first chamber preferably travels through the second passage from the first passage, on the side opposite the first chamber, to induce a negative pressure in the first passage. This way, the change in kinetic energy draws the stagnant air and steam existing in the second chamber into the inside of the first chamber.
