A heating unit comprising an electrically conductive substrate. A solid fuel layer comprising a metal reducing agent, a metal containing oxidizing agent and a binder is coated on a surface of the substrate, the solid fuel layer having a solid fuel surface spaced from the substrate. A first electrode coupled to the substrate. A second electrode coupled to the solid fuel surface. A power supply is configured to be selectively coupled to the first and second electrodes to provide a voltage between the metallic substrate and the solid fuel surface. The voltage acts to propagate an exothermic metal oxidation-reduction reaction without the use of an igniter.

An adjustable bed includes a frame structure; an upper support bracket and a lower support bracket pivotally connected to the frame structure; a plurality of platforms disposed on the frame structure and supported by the upper support bracket and the lower support bracket without using hinging means; and an adjustable assembly coupled with the frame structure and the upper support bracket and the lower support bracket for operably adjusting one or more of the plurality of platforms in desired positions.

Apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may be a pipe that includes heat transfer materials that have a thermal conductivity of greater than 50 Watts per meter Kelvin. Heat transfer materials may include one or more solid heat sinks (that are rigidly connected to each other or to a portion of the pipe), Peltier devices, or loose fill of a desired size or shape. Fill included in the pipe may also absorb particulate matter or volatile organic compounds. As a user burns or vaporizes materials at one end of the pipe and sucks heated smoke or vapor into the pipe, that user may inhale cool and clean smoke or vapor. Methods and apparatus consistent with the present disclosure may allow a controller at the pipe to send sensor or consumption data to other electronic devices when a number of milligrams of a substance inhaled by a patient are monitored.

Provided is a system and method for a vaporizer cartridge system wherein the cartridge provides the diffuser. More specifically, an embodiment of the system includes a vaporizing device providing a heating element proximate to a removable cartridge system receiving port, and a dispenser trigger structured and arranged to engage the removable cartridge to dispense a predetermined amount of a liquid concentrate from within the removable cartridge. The system further includes a cartridge with diffuser including: a housing; a reservoir of liquid concentrate; a diffuser element; a metered dispenser structured and arranged to dispense from the reservoir into the diffuser element a predetermined amount of liquid concentrate. An associated method of use is also provided.

An ultrasonic electronic rhinitis therapeutic apparatus with far-infrared atomized coconut essential oil is disclosed. The apparatus includes a nasal plug part and a nasal alar part. The nasal plug part includes an insertion column disposed in a nostril. The insertion column is internally provided with a coconut powder, and a far-infrared generating tube is arranged in the coconut powder. An ultrasonic generator is arranged in the nasal alar part, and the nasal alar part is fitted on the lateral side of the nasal alar. In the disclosure, the oil and acid substance in the coconut powder are atomized by far-infrared light and are atomized under the aid of pulse ultrasonic wave in the nasal cavity to be inhaled into the internal tissues of the nasal cavity, sinus and the like.

A substance delivery device and methods to promote treatment regimen compliance. A beneficial substance and an addictive substance are administered from a device delivering the substances by a user inhaling vaporized or atomized beneficial substances and addictive substances.

Systems and methods for providing respiratory therapy are disclosed. The system includes a nebulizer operable to aerosolize a medicament, a cylindrical mixing chamber, an impacting cap and a recirculation tube. The mixing chamber has an inlet port, an outlet port, an aerosol port in fluid communication with the nebulizer, and a drainage port. The inlet port receives a flow of breathing gas. The mixing chamber receives the aerosol via the aerosol port, entrains aerosol into the flow of breathing gas, and delivers the breathing gas entrained with aerosol to the outlet port. The impacting cap receives and coalesces a portion of the aerosol into droplets within the space defined by the mixing chamber and the impacting cap. The mixing chamber is also configured to direct rain-out resulting from the droplets to the drainage port. The system also includes a recirculation tube to return the rain-out to the nebulizer.

The present disclosure relates to drug administration. In an exemplary embodiment, a system can include a drug administration device configured to dispense a drug to a patient, a monitoring device configured to log a delivery event of drug delivery from the drug administration device into the patient, and a sensor configured to sense a patient parameter following delivery of the drug into the patient. In another exemplary embodiment, a drug administration device can include a drug holder configured to hold a drug, a dispensing mechanism configured to dispense the drug, and a sensor configured to sense a patient parameter, and the drug administration device can be configured to locally activate the drug at a target location in the patient. In another exemplary embodiment, methods, devices, and systems are provided to assess when operation of a drug dispensing mechanism is complete and to confirm whether drug administration was successful.

A vaporization device includes: an air inlet; an air outlet; a vaporization cavity in communication with the air inlet and the air outlet, a vaporization assembly being arranged in the vaporization cavity; and a first capillary liquid absorbing structure arranged on a part of the inner wall of the vaporization cavity close to the vaporization assembly. After the first capillary liquid absorbing structure absorbs an aerosol substrate, a temperature of the cavity wall of the vaporization cavity at a position where the first capillary liquid absorbing structure is located is lowerable with endothermic vaporization of the aerosol substrate.

A medicine application device with ultrasonic massage enabling concentrated supply of medicine, including a medicine concentrated supply device, at least one ultrasonic massage mechanism, a medicine supply pipe and power cables. The ultrasonic massage mechanism has a shell, a base panel having massage projections, and an electrical ultrasonic vibration element; the medicine concentrated supply device has a housing, a control panel, a circuit board, and a medicine supply device. The medicine application device provides high frequency ultrasonic massage and applies medicinal therapy to patients.
