A drug delivery device is provided comprising or adapted to receive a cartridge with an axially displaceable piston. The drug delivery device comprises a housing, a stationary capacitive sensor assembly, and a moveable indicator element comprising a surface with a code pattern detectable by the stationary capacitive sensor. The code pattern is formed from conductive markings printed onto the surface. The capacitive sensor is formed on a flexible sheet mounted at least in part to the exterior of the housing.

Drug delivery device with information capture

System comprising a sensor assembly () adapted to measure a magnetic field, and a moveable element () adapted to be moved relative to the sensor assembly between two positions by a combined axial and rotational movement, the rotational movement having a pre-determined relationship to the axial movement. A magnet () is mounted to the moveable element and configured to generate a spatial magnetic field which relative to the sensor assembly varies corresponding to both the axial and rotational movement of the magnet and thus the moveable element. A processor is configured to determine on the basis of measured values for the magnetic field an axial position of the moveable element.

System for determining position of an element in relation to another element using magnetic fields

A method for detecting the presence, and/or determining the location, and/or detecting changes in the material properties, of a first object () within a predefined space () and compensating for the disturbance caused by a second object, where the method comprises the following steps: providing at least a first and a second electrode () capacitively coupled to each other; conductively applying an electrical signal to each of the first and second electrodes (), the electrical signals being different for the first and second electrodes (); for each of the electrodes () measuring the current signal through, and/or the voltage signal on, the electrode (); deriving from the measured values an indication of the disturbance caused by the second object; and deriving from the measured values and the indication of the disturbance a disturbance-compensated indication of the presence, and/or the location, and/or changes in the material properties, of the first object ().
