    摘要: An arrangement for determining a position (x) of a stopper relative to a container in a drug delivery device includes an acoustic source configured to emit an acoustic signal and an acoustic sensor configured to detect an acoustic signal, a processing unit for controlling the acoustic source and processing the detected acoustic signal for determining characteristics of the acoustic signal correlated with the position (x) of the stopper. A method for determining a position (x) of a stopper relative to a container in a drug delivery device includes the steps of emitting an acoustic signal from an acoustic source, detecting an acoustic signal caused by the emitted acoustic signal by means of an acoustic sensor, and processing the detected acoustic signal for determining characteristics of the acoustic signal correlated with the position (x) of the stopper by means of a processing unit.

    摘要: The invention relates to a stopper arrangement for a drug delivery device, comprising a stopper, a linear actor coupled with one end to the stopper and with an opposite end to a coupling arrangement, wherein the stopper arrangement is configured to be disposed within a container of a drug delivery device, wherein a shape and/or material of the stopper and the coupling arrangement are configured such that a first frictional force between the coupling arrangement and the container is lower than a frictional force between the stopper and the container when the linear actor is contracting and that second frictional force between the coupling arrangement and the container is greater than the frictional force between the stopper and the container when the linear actor is expanding.
