Abstract: A drug delivery device for setting and dispensing doses of a liquid drug is described. The device includes a housing and a dose setting and drive mechanism with a dose setting member and a dose setting drum. The dose setting and drive mechanism is configured to perform a dose setting operation for setting a dose to be delivered by the drug delivery device by rotating the dose setting member relative to the housing and a dose delivery operation for delivering the set dose during rotation of the dose setting drum relative to dose setting member the housing. The dose setting drum includes an array of encoder features at its proximal end. The dose setting member has at least one aperture located in a proximal end surface that is coincident with at least a portion of the array of encoder features of the dose setting drum.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a drug delivery device for setting and dispensing doses of a liquid drug. The device comprises a housing and a dose setting and drive mechanism with a dose setting member. The dose setting and drive mechanism is, at least partially, arranged within the housing and is configured to perform a dose setting operation for selecting a dose to be delivered by the drug delivery device by moving the dose setting member relative to the housing and a dose delivery operation for delivering the set dose by axially displacing the dose setting member along an axis. The maximum radial extension perpendicular to the axis of the dose setting member is smaller than the maximum radial extension of a region of the housing located adjacent to the dose setting member.

Abstract: Various systems and methods are provided that display various geographic maps and depth graphs in an interactive user interface in substantially real-time in response to input from a user in order to determine information related to measured data points, depth levels, and geological layers and provide the determined information to the user in the interactive user interface. For example, a computing device may be configured to retrieve data from one or more databases and generate one or more interactive user interfaces. The one or more interactive user interfaces may display the retrieved data in a geographic map, a heat map, a cross-plot graph, or one or more depth graphs. The user interface may be interactive in that a user may manipulate any of the graphs to identify trends or current or future issues.

Abstract: The present disclosure refers to a drug delivery device for setting and dispensing doses of a liquid drug which may be used together with a module for detecting the amount of a dose selected and/or delivered. The device comprises a housing and a dose setting and drive mechanism with a dose setting member. The dose setting and drive mechanism is configured to perform a dose setting operation for selecting a dose to be delivered by rotating the dose setting member relative to the housing and a dose delivery operation for delivering the set dose by pushing the dose setting member axially towards the housing without relative rotation therebetween. The dose setting member comprises a set of axially directed stop teeth formed at its distal end which are configured to engage with a set of counterstop teeth located on the housing at the end of the dose delivery operation.

Abstract: A drug delivery device for setting and dispensing doses of a liquid drug. The device comprises a housing and a dose setting and drive mechanism with a dose setting member and a dose setting drum. The dose setting and drive mechanism is configured to perform a dose setting operation for selecting a dose to be delivered, and a dose delivery operation for delivering the set dose. The dose setting drum comprises a set of clutch teeth that are engagable with a mating set of teeth on the dose setting member. The clutch teeth and the mating teeth are engaged during a dose setting operation to prevent rotation therebetween and the clutch teeth and the mating teeth are disengaged during a dose delivery operation allowing relative rotation between the dose setting drum and the dose setting member. The clutch teeth are formed on an external surface of the dose setting drum.

Abstract: A mains DC power supply comprising a buffer amplifier, in which a battery is used to provide a reference voltage for the buffer amplifier. The battery voltage reference is disconnected from the buffer amplifier, to prevent excessive dissipation of the battery, when the mains AC supply is in the switched-off state. The use of a battery voltage reference produces a DC power supply, from the mains AC supply, with an ultra-low level of subsonic and audio frequency noise.
