Disclosed is a medicament dispenser (1) for delivering a medicament (9, 53) to a user (2), the medical dispenser (1) comprising one or more internal storages (3, 52) for storing one or more medicaments (9, 53); a dispensing unit (10, 101) configured to access said one or more internal storages (3, 52) and dispense the medicament (9; 53) based on a predefined dispensing protocol (18); a control unit (13) comprising a user recognition unit (12, 19), adapted to collect user authentication data (76); and a communication module (14), configured to send/receive said user authentication data (76) and a delivery control data (16) associated to said predefined dispensing protocol (18) to/from a remote server (15); wherein said control unit 5 (13) is configured to enable/disable said dispensing unit (10, 101) based on said user authentication data (76) and said delivery control data (16). Also disclosed is a medicament re-filling apparatus (32) for the use with a medicament dispenser (1) upon authentication and validation of its user (2) condition.

A power supply unit for an aerosol inhaler includes: a case; a power supply that discharges power to a load for generating an aerosol from an aerosol generation source; a discharging terminal that connects the load to the power supply; a charging terminal that connects the power supply to an external power supply and is separated from the discharging terminal; a temperature measuring unit that measures temperature of the power supply; and a control device that controls an effective value of a first charging current to a value smaller than an effective value of a second charging current. The first charging current is supplied to the power supply when a measurement value of the temperature measuring unit is equal to or higher than a first threshold and the second charging current is supplied to the power supply when the measurement value is lower than the first threshold.

The present disclosure relates to a drug administration device configured to administer a drug. In an exemplary embodiment the drug administration device includes a housing including first and second housing electrical contacts, a dispensing mechanism, a drug holder, a removable power supply including first and second power supply electrical contacts, and at least one protection mechanism in a first protecting configuration when the removable power supply is not received within the housing and in a second configuration when the removable power supply is received within the housing. In another exemplary embodiment the drug administration device includes a housing, a dispensing mechanism disposed within the housing, a removable power supply that is configured to be received within the housing, a sensor configured to determine remaining charge of the removable power supply, and a processor configured to modify operation of the drug administration device in response to data produced by the sensor.

A device is provided for delivering a predetermined volume of at least one substance within a body cavity of a subject. The device contains a) a capsule for containing the predetermined volume of substances; b) a delivery end, having at least one orifice of diameter D, for placement in proximity to the body cavity; c) a valve mechanically connectable to the capsule, having at least two configurations: (i) an active configuration in which the valve enables delivery of the substances; and (ii) an inactive configuration, in which the valve prevents delivery of the substances from the capsule to the body cavity; and d) a fluid tight chamber configured to contain predetermined volume V.sub.gas of pressurized gas at a predetermined pressure, P.sub.gas. The capsule further contains at least one mixing mechanism that mixes the substances and the pressurized gas after the valve is reconfigured to the active configuration.

The present disclosure relates to an aerosol delivery device filling system. The system includes multiple source containers each respectively including a differing aerosol precursor composition. The system further includes a mixing container configured to engage the source containers to receive and mix the aerosol precursor compositions to form a mixed aerosol precursor composition. An aerosol delivery device may engage the mixing container to receive at least a portion of the mixed aerosol precursor composition. A related method for customizing an aerosol precursor composition is also provided.

The invention relates to an inhaler, particularly an electronic cigarette product, comprising at least one evaporator device having at least one electrical evaporator for evaporating liquid supplied to the evaporator and an electronic control device for controlling and/or regulating the evaporator. A plurality of liquids are associated or can be associated with the evaporator device in such a way that the composition and/or the vapour production rate of the vapour/aerosol produced by the at least one evaporator can be adjusted and/or modified in a targeted manner, as the control device is designed for individual control of the at least one or each individual evaporator and/or for group control of the evaporators.

Phyto material tablets, tablet vaporizers, methods and apparatus for forming phyto material tablets. The tablets are formed to increase vaporization efficiency. Tablets can include break regions to facilitate fracturing into multiple pieces for vaporization. The tablets can also include multiple layers of different phyto material mixtures. Compression molds are used to shape the tablets. The compression molds can be provided on a rotational assembly to facilitate rapid manufacturing of multiple tablets. The vaporizers include heating chambers that are configured to increase the surface area of the tablets exposed for vaporization. The heating chambers include compression or fracture members that compress and/or encourage fracturing of the tablets to assist vaporization.
