Patent ID: 7138806

Claim:
An injection device configured to detect a position of a rotor relative to a stator for setting a dose of medicament, the rotor operatively coupled to a rod within an interior of the injection device, and the stator operatively coupled to a surface in the interior of the injection device, wherein the rotor is rotatable relative to the stator to effect dosage of the medicament, and at least one rotor electrode is arranged on said rotor and at least one stator electrode is arranged on said stator, such that said electrodes at least partially overlap in at least one position of the rotor relative to the stator, said at least one rotor electrode disposed on an exterior surface of the rotor and comprising an exterior rotor electrode surface that faces an interior portion of the stator, and said at least one stator electrode disposed on the interior portion of the stator and comprising an exterior stator electrode surface that faces the exterior surface of the rotor; and wherein a relative position of the rotor to the stator indicates a dosage and the injection device for detecting the position of the rotor relative to the stator provides an indication of the dosage as set.
