The invention relates to an electrostatic aerosol disinfection and sterilization method. The method includes the following steps: atomizing liquid water without any medicine to obtain atomized particles of liquid water; and carrying the atomized particles on Static electricity of a first polarity; transporting atomized particles with static electricity to a predetermined surface of an object to be disinfected, the objects to be disinfected have static electricity of a first polarity; when the atomized particles reach the object to be disinfected When the predetermined surface is changed, the electrostatic polarity of the object to be disinfected is changed, so that the object to be disinfected has static electricity of a second polarity, wherein the second polarity is opposite to the polarity of the first polarity. The present invention is capable of treating and slowing down various respiratory diseases caused by viruses, including new pneumonia that threatens people all over the world, greatly improves the effect of disinfection and sterilization, is not only safe and reliable, but also has simple operation and low cost.

Inhaler for oral inhalation administration of a drug, comprising a housing, a drug chamber in the housing, an air pump configured to pump air through the drug chamber for expulsing the drug through an outlet of a mouthpiece, wherein the air pump comprises a motor coupled to a centrifugal compressor operable to pump air through the drug chamber at a pressure greater than 30 millibars and a flow rate greater than 25 litres per minute.

Liquid accumulators and methods for reducing pulsations of a liquid flow are disclosed. A liquid delivery system comprises a pump configured to drive liquid to a pipe. The pipe is configured to transmit a liquid flow. A liquid accumulator is fluidically connected to the pipe. The liquid accumulator comprises a chamber containing the liquid and a vapor column and a power source configured to input energy to the chamber to generate vapor from the liquid to form the vapor column. The vapor column constitutes a gas spring to reduce pulsations of the liquid flow in the pipe. The spring rate of the gas spring can be adjusted by changing the input energy level from the power source to the chamber.

An herb vaporizing apparatus includes an herb receiving port, a grinder to grind the herb, and a heating chamber for heating the ground herb to create a vapor. A first end of the heating chamber is positioned closer to a top of the apparatus than a second end of the heating chamber, such that the ground herb generally moves in at least a partially downward direction as it travels through the heating chamber. The apparatus further includes a screw feeder positioned within the heating chamber that rotates and moves the ground herb within the heating chamber. The apparatus further includes an air pump for pumping vapor out of the heating chamber and a valve positioned along an airway between the heating chamber and a vapor output. The valve permits air and the vapor to move from the heating chamber to the vapor output only while the air pump is activated.

An aerosol-generating device is provided, including: a housing including an end wall; a cavity configured to removably receive an aerosol-generating article; an aperture at least partially defined by the housing and extending through a first portion of the end wall, the aperture being disposed at an end of the cavity and configured for insertion of the article into the cavity through the aperture; and a cover configured for rotational movement with respect to the housing and being rotatable between a closed position entirely covering the aperture and an open position in which the aperture is entirely uncovered and the cover overlies a second portion of the end wall, the cover including a cover portion and a shaft portion extending orthogonally from the cover portion, the cover portion entirely covering the aperture when the cover is in the closed position, and the shaft portion being received within the housing.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for delivering a gel to a surface. In one embodiment, the system may have a first vessel with a first low viscosity aqueous solution comprising a binder/crosslinking agent; and a second vessel with a second low viscosity aqueous solution comprising a gelling component. The separate first and second low viscosity aqueous solutions are sprayed onto a surface where the solutions mix forming a gel.

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for disrupting the outer membrane of an oocyst in solution and delivering the solution to an animal. The system includes a vessel containing unbroken oocysts in solution, an oocyst processing chamber, and a delivery outlet. The unbroken oocysts are moved from the vessel through the processing chamber and a portion of the oocyst membranes are disrupted releasing sporocysts, the resulting solution is moved from the processing chamber into the delivery outlet where the solution is delivered to an animal. Methods of vaccination, including vaccination against an Eimeria infection, are also provided.

A micronization unit for a solid active agent, such as a salt, preferably table salt (NaCl), for inhalation, is described.

The micronization unit includes a closed rotary drum containing a solid active agent having a grain size, preferably 0.1-4 millimeters (mm). Wall surfaces of the micronization unit are made at least in part of a material having a filtering capacity of 0.1-1000 micrometers (m). The material preferably is a mesh-like or microperforated material. The rotary drum dispenses particles of reduced size as it rotates.
