The invention proposes a method and a device for needleless injection of liquid into a substrate, in particular of a liquid pharmaceutical or cosmetic preparation into a biological tissue, which makes it possible in a particularly advantageous manner to reliably inject a particularly fine liquid jet into the substrate without a significant increase in the static pressure in the liquid during the injection process. According to the invention, this is achieved by first accelerating the liquid received in a liquid container together with the latter to an initial velocity before the movement of the liquid container is stopped again, while simultaneously ejecting the liquid from the liquid container through an outlet nozzle under at least partial retention of its movement. Preferably, the ejected liquid jet is set in rotation about its jet axis before it impinges on the substrate, so that the jet receives a helical movement and thus practically drills into the substrate without splashing away laterally.

The invention relates to a clamp (1), which is such that the clamp (1) can accommodate a fluid-carrying duct (L), that the clamp (1) in a resting state can compress the accommodated fluid-carrying channel (L), and that in a working state the clamp (1) can accommodate the fluid-carrying channel (L) so that the fluid-carrying channel (L) is not compressed, wherein the clamp (1) has a first permanent magnet (M1) and a second permanent magnet (M2), the permanent magnets (M1, M2) being arranged at a distance from one another, such that the permanent magnets (M1, M2) can be rotated at least about an angle relative to one another, the relative rotation of the permanent magnets (M1, M2) to one another resulting in a reduction in the distance (d), the resting state being made available at a first angle and the working state being made available at a second angle.

The invention proposes a method and a device for needleless injection of liquid into a substrate, in particular of a liquid pharmaceutical or cosmetic preparation into a biological tissue, which allows a particularly fine liquid jet to be reliably injected completely into the substrate in a particularly advantageous manner. According to the invention, this is achieved by setting the ejected liquid jet in rotation about its jet axis before its impingement on the substrate, so that the jet receives a rotational movement and thus practically drills into the substrate without splashing away laterally.

An auto-injector apparatus includes a flexible container containing a liquid medicant, a needle communicated with a container, a housing with a container being received in the housing, a pump disposed in the housing and positioned to engage the flexible container and expel the medicant from the container through the needle upon relative movement between the pump and the container, and a main drive spring operably as ted with the needle to extend the needle fro a first needle position wherein the needle is completely received in the housing to a second needle position wherein the needle protrudes from the housing. The pump may be a roller.

A device has a hollow guide shell including an injection end and a longitudinal axis. An actuator magnet is disposed in the hollow guide shell. An injection pin is coupled to the actuator magnet. A driver magnet is positioned on the device radially outward from the actuator magnet. A fluid cartridge is disposed in the injection end of the hollow guide shell, the fluid cartridge including a needle and a plunger. The driver magnet selectively exerts an injection force on the actuator magnet in a direction oriented towards the injection end of the hollow guide shell to engage the injection pin with the fluid cartridge. A liquid, gas or other agent can selectively be ejected from the cartridge by the device to inject the fluid, gas or other agent into another object.

A dry powder delivery device may be configured to provide micronized dry powder particles to airways of a user. The device may include a cylindrical container delimiting a chamber containing at least one magnetically-responsive object, a motor external to said chamber, a magnet external to the chamber and rotatably coupled with the motor, and an outflow member configured to direct airflow to a user. The magnetically-responsive object may be coated with micronized dry powder particles, and the motor may be operable to rotate the magnet about an axis. Rotation of the magnet creates a magnetic field that causes the magnetically-responsive object to move in response to the magnetic field and collide with a side wall of the container to deaggregate the dry powder particles and aerosolize the dry powder in the chamber.

The present invention relates to a method and corresponding apparatus for just in time mixing of a solid or powdered formulation and its subsequent delivery to a biological body. In some embodiments, a powdered formulation is maintained in a first chamber of a plurality of chambers. A plurality of electromagnetic actuators are in communication with the plurality of chambers. The actuators, when activated, generate a pressure within at least the first chamber. The pressure results in mixing of the powdered formulation and a diluent in time for delivering into the biological body.

An infusion system for infusing a medication in a patient, comprising a medication dose dispensing device and a control device for controlling the dispensing device. The infusion system can be configured in a non-operating configuration, in which the dispensing device and the control device are spaced apart from each other, and in an operating configuration, in which the dispensing device and the control device are temporarily proximity-coupled. The actuating rotor of the control device and the actuated rotor of the dispensing device have a common rotation axes, and the system can compensate or block the rotation of the control device with respect to the dispensing device.

A wireless power transmission method and apparatus are provided. The wireless power transmission method receives a signal associated with a relative position of the wireless power transmission based on a frequency in a high frequency band, and determines whether to wirelessly transmit a power based on an intensity of the received signal.

System for trans-dermal delivery of doses of a medicament, comprising a delivery device to be placed in dermal contact with a patient, the delivery device comprising a reservoir for holding a medicament to be delivered, a trans-dermal injection element for delivering doses of the medicament to the patient, a control unit for controlling the delivery of the medicament when activated, the system further comprising a separate hand-held drive device to be temporarily placed in proximity of the delivery device when a dose of medicament is required, the drive device comprising an activation unit for activating the control unit of the delivery device.
