摘要:
A powder medicament mouthpiece comprising at least one section of through suction tube (1) and a filter (2). One end of the suction tube is a medicament inlet, and the other end (16a) is a suction outlet. The filter (2) is arranged within the suction tube (1). The powder medicament mouthpiece can be connected to multiple models of dry powder inhalers to separate powder medicament from dry powder, and allows for significantly improved efficacy.

A system and methods are provided for removal of undesired portions of a fruit or vegetable, such as removal of calyxes from strawberries before they are flash frozen. An automated process for high-throughput fruit or vegetable calyx removal includes a loading system, an identification system, and a removal system. The loading system is configured to transport the fruit or vegetable through the automated process. The loading system may also orient the fruits or vegetables along an axis of the fruit and or align the fruit or vegetables in a desired pattern, orientation, and/or arrangement. The identification system is configured to locate the calyx and determines calyx position data and an optimal cutting path for individual fruit. The removal system uses data received from the identification system to separate the calyx from the fruit or vegetable.
摘要:
A filtering powdered medicament inhaler comprising a base (1) and an upper base (2). The upper base (2) has arranged therein a separator (62), which is connected at the bottom to a pressure groove (63). The upper base (2) has arranged thereon a hollow tube exterior connector (10) matching a suction tube (131). The hollow tube (19a) and a cavity (9) on one side of the separator (62) are interconnected via conduit (18), or, the hollow tube (19a) is extended for about 8 centimeters to form a mouthpiece. The upper base (2) has arranged in the cavity (9) thereof a filter (121). The base (1) is provided with an external base cover (72) which covers a press-button (5a) so as to reduce air flow into the cavity (9). The medicament inhaling conduit of the inhaler is relatively sealed and allows for rapid entrainment of a sufficient dosage of powdered medicament.

Microfluidic, electrochemical devices are described. The microfluidic, electrochemical device comprises one or more electrode(s) on a substrate and a patterned porous, hydrophilic layer having a fluid-impermeable barrier which substantially permeates the thickness of the porous, hydrophilic layer and defines boundaries of one or more hydrophilic channels within the patterned porous, hydrophilic layer, wherein the hydrophilic channel(s) comprises a hydrophilic region which is in fluidic communication with the electrode(s). In some embodiments, the electrodes comprise a working electrode, a counter electrode, and a reference electrode. In some embodiments, the microfluidic, electrochemical device further comprises a fluid sink. The method of assembling the microfluidic, electrochemical device is described. The method of using the device for electrochemical analysis of one or more analytes is also described.
摘要:
Self-regulating pressure source. The pressure source includes a chamber enclosing a chemical monopropellant. A moveable boss is attached to a deformable membrane sealing an air chamber, the moveable boss and air chamber being disposed within the chamber. A catalyst is disposed around the membrane so as to be covered by the boss in a retracted position so that the monopropellant is broken down by the catalyst to produce a gas. The gas pressure will increase within the chamber causing air in the air chamber to compress thereby to pull the boss into the retracted position to cover the catalyst thereby to regulate the pressure within the chamber. The self-regulating pressure source is particularly suited to power fluidic elastomeric actuators.

摘要:
The present invention relates generally to ophthamological drugs. More specifically, the invention relates to a method of modifying (derivatizing) ophthamological drugs so as to increase their penetration through the cornea. The invention also relates to drugs modified (derivatized) in accordance with the instant method and to the use of same in treating conditions associated with elevated intraocular pressure, particularly, glaucoma.

摘要:
Disclosed is a method for establishing a CoMP cooperating set in coordinated multi-point communication, the method comprising the steps of: triggering and starting a coordinated multi-point communication process; according to channel state information of all cells in a measurement cell set measured by a UE, determining a candidate CoMP cooperating set; sending a CoMP cooperating set establishment request to eNodeBs of the cooperating cells in the determined candidate CoMP cooperating set; the eNodeBs being of the cooperating cell and receiving the CoMP cooperating set establishment request responding to the CoMP cooperating set establishment request to the eNodeB of the serving cell of the UE, and sending a CoMP cooperating set establishment response to the eNodeB of the serving cell of the UE; the eNodeB of the serving cell of the UE determining a CoMP cooperating set of the UE according to information of the CoMP cooperating set establishment response; and according to a coordinated multi-point communication mode, sharing data information and service bearer information of the UE of the CoMP cooperating set. The present invention guarantees coordinated multi-point joint transmission/reception, decreases the overhead and complexity of the communication system and furthermore reduces the time delay in the information exchange.
