A toy construction system comprising a plurality of toy construction elements including a plurality of function construction elements. The toy construction elements and the function construction elements are detachably interconnected with each other forming a toy construction model. The toy construction model comprising at least a subset of the plurality of toy construction elements; each function construction element comprising a function device adapted to perform a user-perceptible function. The toy construction system further comprises a tag construction element detachably connectable to one or more of the toy construction elements. The tag construction element and the function construction elements are configured for communication of configuration data from the tag construction element to each of the subset of function construction elements when the tag construction element is connected to a toy construction element. Each function construction element of the subset is configured to control the function device responsive to the communicated configuration data.

Toy construction system with interactive function construction elements

A modular toy system comprising a plurality of separate electronic toy modules, each electronic toy module comprising a function device operable to perform a user-perceptible function and a control circuit for controlling the function device; wherein at least a first electronic toy module of the plurality of electronic toy modules comprises a first control circuit, a first function device and a sensor system configured for contactless detection of respective coordinate values of at least two coordinates, each coordinate being indicative of a position or an orientation of at least a second electronic toy module of the plurality of electronic toy modules relative to the first electronic toy module; and wherein the first control circuit is configured to control operation of the first function device based on one or more of the detected coordinate values.

Modular toy system with electronic toy modules

The present invention relates to a method of controlling an ensemble of interacting toy construction models. The interacting toy construction models include toy construction elements having functional toy construction elements, the toy construction elements include coupling members configured for detachably interconnecting the toy construction elements with each other. The functional toy construction elements may perform a function in compliance with a configuration defining a functional behaviour. The method includes configuring the functional toy construction elements in the interacting toy construction models based on information on further functional toy construction elements in said interacting toy construction model to coordinate their functional behaviour in a model-behaviour; and further adapting the model-behaviour based on information on further interacting toy construction models in the ensemble. The invention also elates to a toy construction set for constructing an interacting toy construction model and a toy construction system comprising at least two interacting toy construction models.

A pharmaceutical container may include a cylindrical hollow container body () defining a hollow chamber () to receive a pharmaceutical liquid, the container body () including a portion on a sidewall () of the container body (), wherein the portion has a longitudinal extension along the longitudinal axis of the container body () and a circumferential extension along the circumference of the container body (), thereby forming a window () through the sidewall () of the container body () into the hollow chamber (), the window () comprising two long edges () and two short edges (), and a Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna () arranged on the outer surface () of the sidewall () of the container, the antenna () including one or a plurality of nested antenna windings (), each of them surrounding an interior periphery () including a substantially longitudinal portion () arranged along the two long edges () of the window (), and a substantially circumferential portion () arranged mainly around the sidewall () of the container body () and at least partially along a first one of the two short edges () of the window () opposite to a second one of the two short edges () of the window ().

Medical container with NFC antenna

A toy system comprising a plurality of toy construction elements, having detachably interconnecting coupling members for creating coherent spatial structures. The plurality of toy construction elements include: an energy source device comprising a housing and an energy transfer circuit therein; and energy distribution devices to provide respective external conductive loops extending outside the housing and defining a respective external energy transfer zone in a proximity of the respective external conductive loops. The energy source device is configured to be brought into operational connection with the energy distribution devices. The energy transfer circuit is configured to receive electrical energy from an energy source and, when the energy source device is in operational connection with a first energy distribution device, to energize the external conductive loops creating a time-varying electromagnetic field in an external energy transfer zone defined by the first energy distribution device in a proximity of the external conductive loops.

A pharmaceutical container includes a cylindrical hollow container body defining a hollow chamber to receive a pharmaceutical liquid, the container body including a portion on a sidewall) of the container body, wherein the portion has a longitudinal extension along the longitudinal axis of the container body and a circumferential extension along the circumference of the container body, thereby forming a window through the sidewall of the container body into the hollow chamber. In embodiments of the invention, the window comprises two long edges and two short edges, and a Near Field Communication (NFC) antenna. In embodiments of the invention, the antenna comprises one or a plurality of nested antenna windings.

In some embodiments, a method includes producing, from an adapter, a first wireless signal characterized by a first communication mode with a computing device when a portion of at least one of a medicament delivery device or a simulated medicament delivery is disposed within the adapter. An indication is received when the portion of the medicament delivery device or the simulated medicament delivery device is removed from the adapter. A second wireless signal characterized by a second communication mode with the computing device is produced in response to the indication. The second communication mode is different from the first communication mode. The second communication mode can be, for example, a hold mode, a sniff mode or a park mode.
