摘要:
Devices and methods of entraining a substance within an airflow are disclosed. Condensation aerosol delivery devices and methods of consistently producing multiple doses of a substance, such as a drug, having high purity, high yield, characterized by a particle size distribution appropriate for pulmonary delivery, and which can be administered to a user in a single dose are also disclosed.
摘要:
High sparking initiator compositions with a controlled amount of power are disclosed. The initiator compositions comprise a metal containing oxidizing agent, at least one metal reducing agent, and a non-explosive binder. Low voltage igniters that provide bidirectional plumes upon ignition are also disclosed. These igniters have a electrically resistive element positioned across a hole in a support which directs the plume. These igniters and compositions are useful in the actuation of solid fuel heating unit, in particular, sealed heating units.
摘要:
Devices for treating body tissue. The device includes: an elongated cylindrical guide portion having a distal end and a proximal end; and one or more heat generators securely attached to the elongated guide portion. The heat generators are operative to inductively generate heat energy in response to an electromagnetic field externally applied thereto. One or more of the heat generators are disposed near target tissue so that the heat energy generated by the heat generators is used to treat the target tissue during operation.

Apparatus and methods for treating body tissue by use of thermal treatment material. The thermal treatment material to be injected into target tissue of a body includes: a carrier substrate; a plurality of first particles operative to generate thermal energy in response to an alternating electromagnetic field applied external to the body; and a plurality of second particles, each of the second particles having a core and a coating surrounding the core. The coating is dissolved at a preset temperature by the thermal energy so that the visibility of the core in an external imaging system is affected as the coating is dissolved to expose the core. The variation of the visibility can be used as an indicator to determine if the material has reached the preset temperature.

摘要:
Heating units, drug supply units and drug delivery articles capable of rapid heating are disclosed. Heating units comprising a substrate and a solid fuel capable of undergoing an exothermic metal oxidation reaction disposed within the substrate are disclosed. These heating units can be actuated by electrical resistance, by optical ignition or by percussion. Drug supply units and drug delivery articles wherein a solid fuel is configured to heat a substrate to a temperature sufficient to rapidly thermally vaporize a drug disposed thereon are also disclosed.
