    摘要: An aerosol delivery system (e.g., MDI or nebulizer for delivering aerosolized medication to a patient) includes a temperature sensor (10) in an aerosol output pathway of the system. A controller (600) determines that an aerosol generator of the system has released aerosol when the sensor senses a predetermined temperature change in the pathway. The temperature sensor may also comprise a thermal flow sensor that includes a heater and upstream and downstream temperature sensors. The controller compares the upstream and downstream temperatures to determine the presence, direction, and/or magnitude of fluid flow in the pathway. The controller may use the aerosol detection and/or flow detection to monitor compliance with desired use of the system and/or provide real-time instructions to a user for proper use of the system. The controller may record the aerosolization and flow data for later analysis.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an integrated electronic-microfluidic device an integrated electronic-microfluidic device, comprising a semiconductor substrate (106) on a first (122) support, an electronic circuit (102, 104) on a first semiconductor-substrate side of the semiconductor substrate, and a signal interface structure to an external device. The signal interface structure is arranged on the first semiconductor-substrate side and configured to receive electrical signals from the electronic circuit. A microfluidic structure (126) is formed in the semiconductor substrate, and is configured to confine a fluid and to allow a flow of the fluid to and from the microfluidic structure only on a second semiconductor-substrate side that is opposite to the first semiconductor-substrate side and faces away form the first support. The electronic-microfluidic device forms a flexible platform for the formation of various System-in-Package applications. It achieves a clear separation between electrical and wet-chemical interfaces.
