Abstract: The present disclosure relates to medicament injection devices. An injection device includes: a movable dosage programming component comprising a rotary encoder system having a predefined angular periodicity, a sensor arrangement including a first optical sensor configured to detect movement of the movable dosage programming component relative to the sensor arrangement during dosing of a medicament, wherein the first optical sensor is configured to operate in a strobe-sampling mode at a first frequency, a second optical sensor configured to detect movement of the rotary encoder system relative to the second optical sensor wherein the second optical sensor is configured to operate in a strobe-sampling mode at a second frequency lower than the first frequency, and a processor arrangement configured to, based on the detected movement, determine a medicament dosage administered by the injection device.

Abstract: A drive assembly comprises a guide nut, a lock, and a fastener, the fastener being movable with respect to the lock into and out of a position, in which the fastener engages the lock with the guide nut.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are fastening features for cartridge assemblies that include coding features that help dedicate a medicament reservoir to specific injection devices. An exemplary cartridge assembly comprises a cylindrical inner surface for holding medicament and a cylindrical outer surface comprising a fastening feature having a first coding element protruding from the cylindrical outer surface. The coding element is configured to engage a complementary coding feature on the fastener on a dose setting member specifically configured to dispense the medicament, thereby allowing only the correct cartridge assembly to connect to the correct dose setting member.

Abstract: The drive assembly comprises a guide nut (4), a locking means (9), and a fastener (14), the fastener being movable with respect to the locking means into and out of a position, in which the fastener engages the locking means with the guide nut.

Abstract: A medicament delivery device (1) comprises a housing (15), a telescopic piston rod assembly (12) for driving a bung (20) of a medicament container (9), and a drive mechanism (17) for the telescopic piston rod assembly. The telescopic piston rod assembly (12) has an input drive (23) telescopically coupled to a plunger (55) for driving the bung (20) via an intermediate coupling. The intermediate coupling comprises first and second cylinders (45, 49) telescopically coupled to one another. The plunger (55) is telescopically coupled to one of the first and second cylinders (45, 49) and the input drive (23) is telescopically coupled to the other cylinder. A key (14) is provided for restraining rotation of the plunger (55) relative to the housing (15) so that as the drive mechanism (17) drives the input drive, the plunger, first and second members and input drive telescopically expand or retract with respect to one another.

Abstract: A luminaire which casts a substantially rectangular pattern of light on a surface. It utilizes a lamp which has an axis of radiation and the property of emitting a disproportionately larger percentage of its luminous flux in an annulus which lies between a substantial bounding region at each end of the lamp. A reflector includes a cavity in which the lamp is placed. The reflector has a cutoff edge that forms an aperture opening from the cavity. Support means mounts the lamp in the cavity above the cutoff edge. Specular reflecting means is provided in the reflector to reflect light which is initially directed above the cutoff edge to the surface as supplementary light to fill in areas where light that is directly emitted through the aperture without reflection does not provide proper illumination to the surface.
