A system and method for automatically delivering a substance to an animal or fish including a positioning system that positions each animal singularly and a sensor that detects the location of a predetermined targeted area on the animal. The system further includes a delivery device for delivering a substance to the targeted area. The position of the delivery device may be adjustable. The delivery device is in communication with the sensor. The delivery device adjusts its position in response to the data received from the sensor and delivers a substance to the targeted area.

A dry powder inhaler is disclosed. The dry powder inhaler includes a first housing member and a second housing member being rotatable in relation to one another to prepare administering a medicament dose from at least one medicament reservoir. An air inlet, a first air outlet, and a second air outlet are provided. The air inlet and the first air outlet are connected by a first air channel via a dosage mechanism configured to arrange a dose from the reservoir into the first air channel. The air inlet and the second air outlet are connected by a second air channel. An inhalation chimney is provided internally forming the proximal portion of the first air channel and comprising the first air outlet at a first end thereof.

A dry powder inhaler is provided. The inhaler is adapted for detachably mounting a compliance monitor having a pressure sensor. The inhaler has a housing comprising first and second shell parts, and a mouthpiece which defines an inhalation passage. An external surface of the housing has an orifice. A conduit from the orifice to the inhalation passage is formed by a channel in one of the shell parts and a corresponding channel cover in the other shell part. When the compliance monitor is mounted on the housing, the pressure sensor is adjacent to the orifice and is in fluid communication with the inhalation passage via the conduit.

An aerosol generator for an aerosol dispenser is presented where, the aerosol generator has a housing having an inlet part comprising a liquid inlet configured to guide a liquid jet (L) into the housing and an air inlet configured to guide an air flow into the housing. The housing further having an outlet part having an aerosol outlet configured to guide an aerosol (C) of liquid mixed with air out of the housing. The air inlet is configured such that at least part of the air flow entering the housing through the air inlet is obstructed at a distance from the liquid jet (L) entering the housing through the liquid inlet, thereby creating a source of turbulence in the housing to interact with droplets of the liquid jet (L) to prevent coalescence of the droplets.

Provided is a blister pack for a dry powder inhaler configured to deliver a first powder medicament and a second powder medicament different from the first powder medicament. The first and second powder medicaments are contained within blister pockets defined in a strip. A series of blister pockets is defined in the strip, which series extends linearly along the length of the strip. The first and second powder medicaments are contained in blister pockets of the series. Alternatively or additionally, each of the blister pockets is elongated such as to have a largest dimension parallel with the length of the strip. These measures, either individually or in combination, enable minimizing of the width of the strip in spite of the strip accommodating both the first and second powder medicaments.

An inhaler article (150) includes a body extending along a longitudinal axis from a mouthpiece end (154) to a distal end (156), a capsule cavity (155) defined within the body and a capsule disposed within the capsule cavity. The capsule cavity is bounded downstream by a filter element and bounded upstream and distally by a deformable element (158) the deformable element deforms to expose an open distal end and allow the inhaler article to receive swirling or rotational inhalation airflow during consumption.

An air-curtain forming structure applicable to an electronic vaporization device includes: an airflow channel for delivering vapor; and a first air inlet channel in communication with the airflow channel and for introducing an external airflow into the airflow channel so as to form a blocking airflow between an inner wall of the airflow channel and the vapor.

A stand-alone chamber or multi-chamber inhalation system has at least two alternative vaporized test liquid supply systems for passive or self-administered delivery of vaporized test fluid and air to one or more test chambers, which can be passive or restraint chambers, based on operator selection of delivery on and off times in a passive mode or actuation of an actuator in the chamber by a test animal in a self-administered mode. In one case, a multiple inhalation chamber system has two or more separate test fluid delivery systems and provides options for selective passive uniform drug delivery to multiple chambers or selective delivery of two or more different drugs to different groups of chambers from different delivery systems so that two different drugs or different concentrations of delivered drugs can be tested simultaneously.

A capsule for a heat-not-burn (HNB) aerosol-generating device may include a first heater, a second heater, and a frame sandwiched between the first heater and the second heater, and a cannabinoid-containing material. The frame may define open spaces therein and have a rigidity that is adequate to support the first heater and the second heater. The open spaces within the frame may be interconnected and sized for aerosol-permeability and capillary action.

An inhaler article (150) includes a body (151) extending along a longitudinal axis of the inhaler article from a mouthpiece end (154) to a distal end (156), a capsule cavity (155) and a capsule (160) retained within the capsule cavity. The capsule cavity is defined within the body and bounded downstream by a filter element (157) and bounded upstream by a tubular element (153) defining a central passage (152) in fluid communication with the capsule cavity. The central passage forms an air inlet aperture extending along the longitudinal axis of the inhaler article from the distal end of the body towards the capsule cavity, wherein the tubular element has a central passage inner diameter in a range from about 50% to about 90% of an inner diameter of the capsule cavity. The inhaler article is configured to receive a swirling inhalation airflow into the central passage.
