  • Publication number: 20240157060
    Abstract: A button for a drug delivery device with a reduced operating loudness includes a plate-like button body forming a touch surface, wherein the plate-like button body is coupled by an axial supporting member to a noise-generating interface of the drug delivery device and movable into a longitudinal direction of the drug delivery device, wherein the plate-like button body includes a material composite with at least one first component consisting of a first material and at least one second component consisting of a second material different from the first material, wherein the at least one first component and the at least one second component are coupled via at least one coupling plane that is at least section wise slanted or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. Further, the disclosure describes a button assembly for a drug delivery device which is shock resistant.

  • Patent number: 11980749
    Abstract: An autoinjector basically includes a housing, a pre-filled syringe, a drive chassis, and a needle guard. The pre-filled syringe is mounted in the housing. The drive chassis is configured to move a plunger in the pre-filled syringe to dispense medicament via an urging force from a drive spring. The needle guard is moveable in the housing between a storage state, a dispensing state, and a lock-out state. The needle guard is biased towards an extended position by a lock-out spring. The needle guard selectively engages the housing to establish a frontmost position of the needle guard in the storage state, and an offset position of the needle guard in the lock-out state. The offset position is axially offset from the frontmost position in the distal direction.

  • Patent number: 11972498
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the disclosed technology involves a system having a generator set comprising a first engine and an output terminal coupled to a power distributor, a load comprising two or more sub-loads, wherein each of the sub-loads are coupled to the power distributor via one or more respective electrical contactors, and a controller communicably coupled to the electrical contactors and the generator set comprising a processor, and a memory, the memory having computer-readable instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the processor cause operations. The operations may include determining a number of sub-loads available, receiving data representing power generation of the generator set, determining which of the available sub-loads to connect in order to balance the generator set to the load, and controlling the respective electrical contactors of the determined sub-loads so as to provide electricity to the determined sub-loads.

  • Publication number: 20240131271
    Abstract: A drive train for a wind-up injection device is described. The drive train includes a torsional energy storage adapted to be loaded or unloaded by a rotatable element, a rotatable user handle, a rotationally driveable expelling mechanism adapted to expel the liquid drug, and a clutch element coupled with the torsional energy storage via the rotatable element and including a ratchet for maintaining the rotatable element at one of a number of discrete angular positions against the torque of the torsional energy storage. The clutch element is adapted to transmit the torque from the user handle to the torsional energy storage, or alternatively from the torsional energy storage to the expelling mechanism. The ratchet is switchable from one position to an adjacent position by a torque transmitted from the user handle to the torsional energy storage. The drive train is adapted to dampen torque peaks visco-elastically and/or visco-frictionally.
