A dry powder delivery device may be configured to provide micronized dry powder particles to airways of a user. The device may include a cylindrical container delimiting a chamber containing at least one magnetically-responsive object, a motor external to said chamber, a magnet external to the chamber and rotatably coupled with the motor, and an outflow member configured to direct airflow to a user. The magnetically-responsive object may be coated with micronized dry powder particles, and the motor may be operable to rotate the magnet about an axis. Rotation of the magnet creates a magnetic field that causes the magnetically-responsive object to move in response to the magnetic field and collide with a side wall of the container to deaggregate the dry powder particles and aerosolize the dry powder in the chamber.

A dry powder drug-dosing device comprises a flow passage member (10), a drug powder storage container (19), and a drug-dosing metering component. A drug powder storage container (19), an annular manual rotation portion (3) and a rotational slide passage (23) are disposed on the outer surface of the housing. A sliding block (26) is disposed at an inner side of the annular manual rotation portion (3) A stirring gear (28) disposed on a transmission sleeve (27) is fit with the raised vibration tooth (21), so as to form a vibration component for enabling an outlet of the inverted conical drug powder storage container (19) to generate vibration. The dry powder drug-dosing device is applicable to the inhalation administration of various medicines in the form of dry powder.

The invention is configured so that pressurized gas from a pressurized gas supply source passes through a pressurized gas channel provided in a main body of a powder spraying device and is sprayed out. A powder container containing powder such as medical agents is provided on the main body. The powder within the powder container is supplied to the pressurized gas channel and is sprayed together with the pressurized gas. An eccentric rotor with a center of gravity deviated from a center of rotation is provided in the main body. When spraying the powder together with the pressurized gas, vibrations are applied to the main body and the powder container by a rotation of the eccentric rotor. The powder can be thereby mixed more evenly with the pressurized gas.

The present disclosure relates to an electrolysis apparatus that includes an anode electrically connectable to a direct current electrical source. The apparatus also includes a cathode comprising a proximal segment and a distal segment. The proximal segment is electrically connectable to the direct current electrical source. Further, the apparatus includes a hydrogen collector receptacle that limits generation and collection of hydrogen at the cathode to a specified amount. The hydrogen collector receptacle encompasses a portion of the cathode. Also, the apparatus includes a delivery device that receives hydrogen from and is connected to the hydrogen collector receptacle. According to one embodiment, the hydrogen gas generated in the electrolysis apparatus and collected in the collector receptacle is less than about 4.5% of a user's breath.

A powder inhalation device includes a storage tank configured to store a medium in a powder form, a powder loading unit configured to receive the medium from the storage tank, an air flow passage through which the medium transferred to the powder loading unit flows together with air, an air flow sensor configured to detect a pressure or a flow velocity in the air flow passage, a powder diffuser configured to diffuse the medium transferred to the powder loading unit toward the air flow passage, and a controller configured to control the powder diffuser by receiving a pressure signal or a flow velocity signal from the air flow sensor.

The claimed subject matter relates to a device for dosing and aerosolization of aerosolizable material. The device includes a body with an aerosolization channel with a distal attachment for connecting a source of carrier gas. The carrier gas provides pressure pulses to the aerosolization channel. A proximal attachment allows the aerosolized material to move to a reservoir for receiving the aerosolizable material. The reservoir is connected to the body via the the aerosolization channel. At least part of the walls of the device are self-exciting membranes that can be put into oscillation by the pressure pulses.

Disclosed is a drug vaporization and inhalation device. The present invention is configured such that when an infected patient with asthma, a coronavirus, or the like inhales a particulate drug, the drug is contained in vaporized steam, and therefore, the drug can sufficiently arrive at the lungs of the infected patient with asthma, a coronavirus, or the like, without loss, thereby preventing a given amount of the drug from remaining in an inhalation container and improving the drug inhalation efficiency of the infected patient with asthma, a coronavirus, or the like along with prevention of excessive inhalation of the drug.

Provided is a drug vaporization and inhalation device. The drug vaporization and inhalation device is configured such that when a user inhales a particulate drug, the drug is contained in vaporized steam, and therefore, the drug can sufficiently arrive at the lungs of the user, without loss, thereby preventing a given amount of the drug from remaining in an inhalation container and improving the drug inhalation efficiency of the user along with prevention of excessive inhalation of the drug.

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.
