The disclosure relates to a drug delivery device, comprising a mechanical audible indicator capable of producing an audible signal with a volume of at least 100 dB.

“Smart” functionality is provided to “dumb” containers. A closure such as tape is provided with structural nonuniformity, such as holes punched to weaken the material or polymer printing to strengthen the material. Data is encoded in structural nonuniformity, so when the closure is torn, cut, or otherwise yields the data is encoded in the acoustic emission. The structural nonuniformity also may be readable optically or otherwise. Encoded data may include event detection (logging containers opening), package/product information (e.g., lot numbers, contents), validation (e.g., validation codes to distinguish authentic from counterfeit products), and user recognition (e.g., brand jingles, warning sounds). Closures may be made/dispensed with structural nonuniformity in place, and/or structural nonuniformity may be added to closures already securing a portal. Hand-held systems may dispense and/or modify closures with structural nonuniformity.

A vehicle has a high-voltage store, which is provided for storing electrical energy, wherein the high-voltage store has a high-voltage store housing, in which a plurality of electrical storage cells are arranged, and a device is provided in the high-voltage store housing through which the gas escaping from one or more of the storage cells into the interior of the high-voltage store housing can escape outwards from the high-voltage store housing into the environment. The device has a purely mechanical acoustic signal generator which is provided in order to generate an acoustic warning signal when gas flows through the device, wherein the warning signal is generated merely by the gas flowing through.

A fishing alert assembly for alerting a fisherman to a fish on a fishing pole includes a fishing pole and a cylinder that is removably coupled to the fishing pole. The cylinder is positioned on an opposite side of the fishing pole with respect to a fishing line thereby inhibiting the cylinder from engaging the fishing line. A plurality of bells is provided and each of the bells is positioned within the cylinder. Each of the bells rings when the cylinder is agitated to emit an audible alert when a fish tugs on the fishing pole.

A doorbell including a housing and mount that can be engaged such that the housing is pivotable or otherwise movable relative to the mount for engagement with the mount and/or for activation of a doorbell switch. A latch can secure the housing to the mount so the housing is secured to the mount. A switch located in a space defined by the housing and mount can be actuated based on movement of the housing relative to the mount.
