  • Publication number: 20230347065
    Abstract: An electronic system comprising: at least one user interface member configured to be manipulated by a user for performing a dose setting operation of the drug delivery device and/or for performing a dose delivery operation for delivering a set dose, an electronic control unit configured to control operation of the electronic system, an electrical signaling unit configured to provide at least one electrical signal when the user interface member is manipulated, and a manipulation evaluation unit configured to evaluate the at least one electrical signal of the signaling unit to determine whether the manipulation of the user interface member indicated by the at least one signal of the signaling unit qualifies as an activation operation. The electronic control unit is configured to switch the electronic system into a higher power consumption when the manipulation evaluation unit has confirmed that the manipulation qualifies as activation operation.

  • Patent number: 11707418
    Abstract: A connector for rotatably coupling an enteral feeding solution supply tube to a circular port of a gastrostomy device wherein the connector comprises a fluid conduit having a first end configured for connection with an orifice defined in the circular port to supply the enteral feeding solution to the gastrostomy device, and a second end configured for connection to the enteral feeding solution supply tube, a pair of arms circumferentially arranged around an outer wall of the first end of the fluid conduit, each arm including a first free end and a second free end, wherein the second free end includes a catch configured to releasably engage with a circumferential rim on the circular port, and a flexible bridge connecting each arm to the first end of the fluid conduit and about which the first and second ends of each arm can be pivoted, wherein the connector is couplable to and decouplable from the circular port by pivoting the first and second ends of each arm at the flexible bridge such that the catch on the

  • Publication number: 20140369899
    Abstract: A cooling system in an aftertreatment unit for a multi-cylinder internal combustion engine is disclosed. The aftertreatment unit includes a selective catalyst reduction (SCR) module, an exhaust conduit portion, and a number of reductant injectors. Each reductant injector includes an injector coolant outlet. The cooling system supplies coolant to the reductant injectors by a coolant pump. A phase separation tank, positioned at a higher gravitational potential downstream of the reductant injectors, includes a number of compartments. Each compartment includes at least one inlet portion and at least one outlet portion. Each inlet portion is in fluid communication to the injector coolant outlet and each outlet portion is in fluid communication with the coolant reservoir. A coolant anti-siphon line portion facilitates fluid communication between the reductant injectors and the phase separation tank.
