This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,857,767.

Summary of the Inventive Concept

The present inventive concept integrates an injector usable with different dimension cartridges with cutting-edge technologies such as AI, IoT, blockchain, and machine learning to create a more powerful, efficient, and secure system for substance dispensing.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed an injector compatible with cartridges of differing dimensions, addressing the limitation of traditional injectors being restricted to a specific cartridge size. However, the original patent did not consider the potential of integrating advanced technologies to enhance the injector's functionality and user experience.

Detailed Description of the Inventive Concept

The new inventive concept comprises an injector usable with different dimension cartridges, integrated with a blockchain-based authentication system for verifying the authenticity of the cartridges. The injector is also equipped with AI-powered sensors for detecting the type of cartridge inserted, IoT sensors for tracking the usage of the cartridges, and machine learning algorithms for optimizing the dispensing process based on user data and cartridge characteristics.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The integration of advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, blockchain, and machine learning with an injector usable with different dimension cartridges provides a novel and non-obvious solution, offering enhanced functionality, security, and user experience compared to the original patent.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the inventive concept may include a wearable injector patch, a modular injector assembly with blockchain-based inventory management, or a smart injector system with cloud-based data analysis and personalized recommendations.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The intelligent injector system has significant commercial potential in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, particularly in applications such as diabetes management, vaccine administration, and personalized medicine.
