  • Patent number: 10441731
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical injection device may comprise a main body case having a cartridge holder, a piston that pushes out the pharmaceutical of a pharmaceutical cartridge held in the cartridge holder, a light emitting component, a light receiving component, and a controller. The light emitting component may shine light of different colors on the pharmaceutical cartridge disposed in the cartridge holder. The light receiving component receives light that has been shined from the light emitting component onto the pharmaceutical cartridge and reflected by the pharmaceutical cartridge. The controller may shine from the light emitting component and identify the type of pharmaceutical cartridge.

  • Patent number: 10335550
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical injection device includes a main body case, a cartridge holder, a latching receiver, a driver, and a manipulation component. The cartridge holder has a holding space and a holder latching component. The holding space is capable of holding a pharmaceutical cartridge. The latching receiver is configured to latch or release the holder latching component according to whether the cartridge holder is closed or open. The driver is configured to automatically release a latching of the latching receiver and the holder latching component. The manipulation component is configured to manually release the latching of the latching receiver and the holder latching component by moving the latching receiver upon being subjected to external pressure. The driver or the manipulation component is configured to release the latching between the latching receiver and the holder latching component.

  • Patent number: 9956343
    Abstract: The pharmaceutical injection device of the present invention comprises a cartridge holder, a main case, a piston, a motor, an opening component, an open/closed detection switch, and a controller. The motor drives the piston in either an insertion direction in which the piston is inserted into a pharmaceutical cartridge, or a pull-out direction in which the piston is pulled out of the pharmaceutical cartridge. The opening component opens the cartridge holder in conjunction with the movement of the piston in the pull-out direction. The open/closed detection switch detects whether the cartridge holder is open or closed. When the open/closed detection switch detects that the cartridge holder is open, the controller controls the motor so as to stop the piston.

  • Patent number: 8229353
    Abstract: Provided is a handset comprising a transceiver transmitting and receiving data to and from a base, a data error detector determining whether or not there is an error in the data received by the transceiver, and a reception duration controller changing a specific reception duration. If the data error detector determines that there is an error, then the reception duration controller extends a reception duration of the transceiver so as to receive the data newly sent from the base and to reduce unnecessary calling repetitions between the base and the handset and reduce wasted waiting time.
