1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a simulated medicament delivery device devoid of a medicament delivery mechanism that causes a medicament to be delivered, the simulated medicament delivery device including a housing; and
an electronic circuit system coupled to the housing, the electronic circuit system including an audible output device and a cover, a first portion of the audible output device configured to produce a first plurality of sound waves, a second portion of the audible output device configured to produce a second plurality of sound waves having a phase difference with the first plurality of sound waves, the housing and the cover collectively defining an acoustic enclosure, at least one of the housing or the cover defining a first opening, at least one of the housing or the cover defining a second opening,the audible output device configured to be disposed within the acoustic enclosure such that the first plurality of sound waves travels from the first portion of the audible output device to a region outside of the housing via the first opening and the second plurality of sound waves travels from the second portion of the audible output device to the region outside of the housing via the second opening,the second opening spaced apart from the first opening such that the phase difference between the first plurality of sound waves and the second plurality of sound waves is shifted when the first plurality of sound waves exits the first opening and the second plurality of sound waves exits the second opening.

Abstract
An apparatus includes a simulated medicament delivery device and an electronic circuit system. The simulated medicament delivery device includes a housing, and is devoid of a medicament delivery mechanism that causes a medicament to be delivered. The electronic circuit system is coupled to the housing and includes an audible output device and a cover. The housing of the medicament delivery device and the cover of the electronic circuit system collectively define an acoustic enclosure. The audible output device is configured to be disposed within the acoustic enclosure.

12. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a simulated medicament delivery device configured to simulate the use of an actual medicament delivery device, the simulated medicament delivery device being devoid of at least one of a medicament or a needle, the simulated medicament delivery device including a first housing member and a second housing member; and an electronic circuit system coupled to the first housing member, the electronic circuit system including a speaker including a front portion and a back portion, the front portion of the speaker configured to output a first plurality of sound waves, the back portion of the speaker configured to output a second plurality of sound waves, the first housing member defining at least a portion of a first exit path through which the first plurality of sound waves is configured to travel from the front portion of the speaker to a region outside of the housing, the second housing member defining at least a portion of a second exit path through which the second plurality of sound waves is configured to travel from the back portion of the speaker to the region outside of the housing, a length of the first exit path different from a length of the second exit path such that the first plurality of sound waves is substantially in phase with the second plurality of sound waves when the first plurality of sound waves exits the first exit path and the second plurality of sound waves exits the second exit path. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a simulated medicament delivery device configured to simulate the use of an actual medicament delivery device, the simulated medicament delivery device being devoid of at least one of a medicament or a needle, the simulated medicament delivery device having a housing defining a first exit path and a second exit path; an electronic circuit system coupled to the housing and configured to produce an electronic signal when actuated; and an audible output device disposed within the housing, a first portion of the audible output device configured to produce a first plurality of sound waves associated with the electronic signal, the housing configured such that the first plurality of sound waves travels via the first exit path from the first portion of the audible output device to a region outside of the housing, a second portion of the audible output device configured to produce a second plurality of sound waves associated with the electronic signal, the housing configured such that the second plurality of sound waves travels via the second exit path from the second portion of the audible output device to the region outside of the housing, the second plurality of sound waves having a phase difference with the first plurality of sound waves, a length of the first exit path and a length of the second exit path collectively configured such that the second plurality of sound waves constructively interferes with the first plurality of sound waves in the region outside of the housing. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
