  • Additively manufactured energetic material anti-tamper feature and implementation
    Patent number: 11877389
    Abstract: An apparatus with an anti-tamper architecture includes a substrate and a layer of a pyrotechnic composite arranged on a surface of the substrate. The pyrotechnic composite includes a metal and a metal oxide, and the layer has a thickness of about 1 micrometer to about 10 millimeters. A reaction of the pyrotechnic composite is an exothermic reaction and at least partially fractures the substrate after the reaction is initiated.
    Type: Grant

  • Ambulatory infusion device
    Patent number: 11628249
    Abstract: Disclosed is an ambulatory infusion device, including a control unit and an electroacoustic transducer. The control unit is configured to operate the electroacoustic transducer as noise emitter or to operate the electroacoustic transducer as noise receiver and to determine from a received noise that is received by the electroacoustic transducer a state of the ambulatory infusion device.

  • Meter with bi-stable display
    Publication number: 20110295095
    Abstract: A medical handheld device having a bi-stable display, which can be supplemented by a further display, is presented. The display of the medical handheld device can have a display surface. The display surface can have a keypad in the form of a matrix of sensors. The matrix of sensors can be coupled to image segments on the display surface and can detect touches on the display surface. By coupling the matrix of sensors to the image segments of the display surface, a change of the representation of touched areas of the display surface can occur.
