A liquid medicine injection device includes: a liquid medicine storage unit including a cylinder including a space configured to store liquid medicine therein and a discharge hole connected to the space, and a piston arranged inside the cylinder and moving toward the discharge hole depending on discharge of the liquid medicine; a first electrode on an outer surface of the cylinder; a second electrode on the outer surface of the cylinder, the second electrode facing the first electrode with the piston therebetween; and a circuit unit including a substrate electrically connected to the first electrode and the second electrode.

An at least partly implantable system for injecting a substance into a patient's body. The system comprises at least one flexibly bendable infusion needle with a tip end of each of said at least one infusion needle arranged in at least one first housing for penetrating the first housing's outer wall in at least one penetration area and having the respective other end arranged in at least one second housing, the first and second housings being adapted for implantation inside the patient's body, wherein the at least one second housing is provided for implantation inside the patient's body remote from the at least one first housing and wherein the injection needle is sufficiently long to bridge the distance from the at least one second housing for remote implantation to the at least one first housing and further through the first housing up to the outer wall of the first housing. The system further comprises at least one drive unit adapted for being coupled to the at least one infusion needle and arranged at least for advancing the tip end of the at least one infusion needle so that the at least one infusion needle penetrates with the tip end or ends thereof said at least one first housing's outer wall in said at least one penetration area.

A blood pump system for persistently increasing the overall diameter and lumen diameter of peripheral veins and arteries by persistently increasing the speed of blood and the wall shear stress in a peripheral vein or artery for a period of time sufficient to result in a persistent increase in the overall diameter and lumen diameter of the vessel is provided. The blood pump system includes a blood pump, blood conduit(s), a control system with optional sensors, and a power source. The pump system is configured to connect to the vascular system in a patient and pump blood at a desired rate and pulsatility. The pumping of blood is monitored and adjusted, as necessary, to maintain the desired elevated blood speed, wall shear stress, and desired pulsatility in the target vessel to optimize the rate and extent of persistent increase in the overall diameter and lumen diameter of the target vessel.

An auto injector is disclosed comprising: a housing, a cartridge receiver, and an ejector member. The cartridge receiver is configured to receive a cartridge containing the medicament. The auto injector further comprises a blocking member coupled to an ejector member. The blocking member is configured to move between a blocking position wherein a connector opening is blocked and a non-blocking position wherein the connector opening is not blocked.

A cartridge assembly for an aerosol-generating system is provided, including a cartridge having upstream and downstream ends, a first compartment having a first air inlet and a first air outlet, and a second compartment having a second air inlet and a second air outlet; a cartridge holder, a portion of the cartridge being received within the cartridge holder; a mouthpiece having upstream and downstream ends, at least a portion of the cartridge holder is received within the mouthpiece, the downstream end of the cartridge is spaced apart from the downstream end of the mouthpiece and defines a mixing chamber therebetween, and another portion of the cartridge holder is spaced apart from the mouthpiece and defines an airflow channel between the cartridge holder and the mouthpiece; and a ventilation air aperture providing fluid communication between a downstream portion of the airflow channel and the mixing chamber.

A negative pressure wound therapy system can include a source of negative pressure negative pressure configured to aspirate fluid from a wound covered by a wound dressing and electronic circuitry with a power source, boost converter circuitry configured to receive power at a first level from the power source and supply power at a second level to the source of negative pressure, the second level being higher than the first level, and a controller configured to, in response to a determination that a capacity of the power source is being depleted, cause the boost converter circuitry to supply power to the source of negative pressure at a third level lower than the second level. The controller can further lower a target negative pressure level associated with negative pressure provided by the source of negative pressure.

A pulsed oxygen delivery system is disclosed for a closed breathing environment, which includes a source of gaseous oxygen, a phase dilution type oronasal dispensing mask worn by a user in a closed breathing environment defined by a pressure suit, and a pulse control module for delivering a timed and metered bolus of oxygen from the source of gaseous oxygen to the oronasal dispensing mask upon inhalation by the user.

A system for facilitating control of and interaction with a tattoo machine and associated accessories is disclosed. In particular, the system includes a software application, which may be utilized to scan for devices within a communication range of a device executing the software application. Devices that are detected by the device and application may be wirelessly paired and/or synchronized with the application and with each other using any suitable communications technology. The detected devices, for example, may include wireless tattoo machines and associated tattoo machine accessories. Once the detected devices and/or application are wirelessly paired with each other, the system may enable a user to control the tattoo machine, the tattoo machine accessory, or both by utilizing the application. For example, the system may utilize the application to adjust settings of the tattoo machine, record tattoo machine usage, schedule tattoo sessions, and conduct a variety of other actions.

A method and apparatus for enhancement of focus and concentration during training and learning with flashing light, sound, and/or binaural beats to stimulate entrained Hz neural oscillations

Irrigation and/or aspiration devices and methods may be configured to aspirate and irrigate alone, sequentially, or concurrently. The devices and methods may provide a base with a removable head, and adapted for partial or complete separation of the irrigation and aspiration functions. The devices and methods can be configured to aspirate and/or irrigate the nasal and sinus cavities. The devices and methods may be manually and/or automatically controlled. The devices and methods may include removable, and/or replaceable, and/or refillable, and easily cleanable reservoirs for aspirant and irrigant. The device head and/or aspirant reservoir may comprise a diagnostic device, i.e., test device and/or container after use of the devices and methods.
