    摘要: A method to measure compliance with a pharmaceutical regimen, by the steps of: (a) ingesting a dose of a medication (10) into the gastrointestinal tract of a person, the dose of medication (10) comprising a drug formulation (13) and a permanent magnet (14); (b) as a result of the ingestion of step (a), detecting passage of the permanent magnet (14) past at least two magnetic field sensors (20) positioned apart from each other and adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract; and (c) measuring compliance with the pharmaceutical regimen by way of the detection of step (b). And, apparatus useful to measure compliance with a pharmaceutical regimen by detecting ingestion of a dose of medication (10) comprising a drug formulation (13) and a permanent magnet (14), the apparatus including at least two magnetic field sensors (20) positioned apart from each other on a necklace (22), each magnetic field sensor (20) being in electronic communication with a microprocessor for receiving signals from the magnetic field sensors (20) to determine the passage of a permanent magnet (14) between the magnetic field sensors (20).

    摘要: An improved upper capsule portion (62) of an oral drug delivery capsule (60) that includes an upper capsule portion (62) and a lower cup shaped capsule portion (64), the lower cup shaped capsule portion (64) containing a medical formulation (66), the lower capsule portion (64) being made of a material that disperses in gastrointestinal fluid, the lower capsule portion (64) having a mouth, the upper capsule portion (62) dimensioned to engage with the mouth of the lower capsule portion (64). The improvement is the positioning of a communication device, such as an RFID tag (90), on or integrally with the upper capsule portion (62) so that the communication device can communicate that the oral drug delivery capsule has been ingested. An alternate embodiment with an improved lower capsule portion is also disclosed.

    摘要: Methods of synthesizing stable oscillatory chemical systems from chemical systems having at least one output dynamically related to at least one input are provided. The output and input of the chemical system are selected such that a dynamic relation exists between the input/output pair. The chemical pair is then analyzed to determine whether the response of said output to a change in the input is a cumulative response or resilient response. If the input/output response relationship of the selected input/output pair is determined to be resilient, then the methods require connecting a feedback block between said output and said input, said feedback having non-linear dynamics and inverting preaction hysteresis characteristics, or optionally repeating the selection and analysis steps with the different input/output pair until said output exhibits a cumulative response to a change in the input. If the response is determined to be cumulative, the methods require connecting a feedback block between said chemical system output and said chemical system input, said feedback block having non-linear dynamics and inverting Schmitt trigger hysteresis characteristics.
