    Issued: October 23, 2007
    Inventor(s): Eigemann; Jutta & Geser; Johannes
    Assignee(s): Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH

    The present invention relates to a piston pumping system for substantially gas-free measurement and/or pumping of predetermined quantities of liquids, preferably pharmaceutical liquids containing oxidation-prone ingredients. Preferably, the system is used as a micropump or as a component thereof in medical devices such as transdermal therapeutic systems, for example.

  • Blocking device for a locking stressing mechanism having a spring-actuated output drive device
    Patent 7,396,341
    Issued: July 8, 2008
    Inventor(s): Schyra; Michael & Wachtel; Herbert
    Assignee(s): Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH

    A locking-stressing-mechanism with spring-actuated output drive and a counter with which an apparatus of this kind is fitted, accommodated in a two part housing the two parts of which are mounted to be rotatable relative to each other, can be blocked by means of a pre-stressed leaf spring. The leaf spring is initially accommodated in a recess in the wall of one housing part. As soon as the permitted number of actuations has been reached a push rod pushes the leaf spring out of its resting position. The leaf spring then jumps into a recess in the wall of the other housing part and the two housing parts can no longer be rotated relative to each other. The push rod may be mounted on the pointer of the counter. This blocking device can only be overcome by the application of a force which is sufficient to destroy the device. The device is suitable for blocking a high pressure atomiser or a needleless injector with which a fluid is atomised to form an aerosol or a fluid is injected into a biological tissue.

  • Device for clamping a fluidic component
    Patent 7,837,235
    Issued: November 23, 2010
    Inventor(s): Geser; Johannes & Hausmann; Matthias
    Assignee(s): Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH

    A fluidic component is arranged in an elastomeric shaped part, the contour of which is matched to the outer contour of the component and to the inner contour of a holder. The elastomeric shaped part is chamfered towards the fluidic component on its pressure side. When the holder is assembled, the elastomeric shaped part is deformed by a projection provided on a mating part and is put under uniformly distributed internal tension, after which the elastomeric shaped part surrounds the fluidic component to its full height.

  • Microstructured high pressure nozzle with built-in filter function
    Patent 7,896,264
    Issued: March 1, 2011
    Inventor(s): Eicher; Joachim & Geser; Johannes & Hausmann; Matthias & Reinecke; Holger
    Assignee(s): Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH

    A microstructured nozzle consists of a number of channels produced by microstructuring a plate-shaped member. In the nozzle the channels are located between projections which are arranged side by side in rows and project from a base plate. This microstructured base plate is covered with a cover plate. The channels are narrowly defined in terms of shape, cross sectional area and length. The nozzle contains a filter as the primary structure and a secondary structure downstream of the filter. The nozzle is used, for example, with an atomiser which produces an aerosol from a fluid containing a medicament.

Term Definition
Drug Patent A drug patent is assigned by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and assigns exclusive legal right to the patent holder to protect the proprietary chemical formulation. The patent assigns exclusive legal right to the inventor or patent holder, and may include entities such as the drug brand name, trademark, product dosage form, ingredient formulation, or manufacturing process A patent usually expires 20 years from the date of filing, but can be variable based on many factors, including development of new formulations of the original chemical, and patent infringement litigation.
Drug Exclusivity Exclusivity is the sole marketing rights granted by the FDA to a manufacturer upon the approval of a drug and may run simultaneously with a patent. Exclusivity periods can run from 180 days to seven years depending upon the circumstance of the exclusivity grant.
RLD A Reference Listed Drug (RLD) is an approved drug product to which new generic versions are compared to show that they are bioequivalent. A drug company seeking approval to market a generic equivalent must refer to the Reference Listed Drug in its Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA). By designating a single reference listed drug as the standard to which all generic versions must be shown to be bioequivalent, FDA hopes to avoid possible significant variations among generic drugs and their brand name counterpart.
