    摘要: A drug delivery device may be configured to delivery an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) to a subject via the subject's oral-gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The drug delivery device may be configured to deliver a payload of an API while within the GI tract of the subject. The drug delivery device may include a reservoir, a potential energy source, a plurality of outlets, and a plurality of valves, wherein each outlet has a corresponding valve. The drug delivery device may further include a sensor configured to sense the direction of gravity, and the valves may be selectively opened based on a sensed direction of gravity. Thus, the drug delivery device may dispense a dose of API within the GI tracts of the subject based at least in part on the sensed direction of gravity.

    摘要: A device may be configured with a housing having a reservoir and an outlet separated by a heat rupturable membrane. The membrane may serve to separate a material held within the reservoir from the outlet until the membrane is ruptured. The membrane may include a heater configured to selectively rupture the membrane when actuated. The heater may be physically removed and/or thermally insulated from at least one of an environment surrounding the device and the reservoir.
