  • Patent number: 10631575
    Abstract: A flexible circuit board comprises an elongate strip of flexible material having electricity conducting circuitry disposed therein or thereon. A first flap of material is disposed generally transversely to the first end of the elongate strip, where the first flap supports an inner electrode disposed over a center portion of the first flap and an outer electrode disposed around a perimeter of the first flap. Both the inner electrode and the outer electrodes are in electrical communication with the circuitry. A second flap of material is disposed generally transversely to the second end of the elongate strip, where the second flap supports a microprocessor in electrical communication with the circuitry. A first electrical lead is disposed on the elongate strip near the first end and a second electrical lead is disposed on the elongate strip near the second end.

  • Patent number: 10561800
    Abstract: A skin sensing system for a drug delivery device includes a control unit and a skin sensor comprising one or more electrodes. The skin sensor may be configured to store a threshold value associated with skin sensing, receive one or more sensed signal values from the one or more electrodes, compare the one or more sensed signal values with the threshold value, and based on the comparison, transmit a resultant signal to the control unit. The resultant signal is used by the control unit to determine whether a skin surface of a user is substantially proximate to the skin sensor upon receiving the resultant signal. A drug delivery device for sensing contact with the skin includes the skin sensing system. When the skin sensor senses that the drug delivery device is in contact with a patient's skin surface, drug delivery from the device may be permitted.
