Analysis and Design of a Membrane-based Triggering Mechanism for Ingestible Devices
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.
