A smoke inhalation apparatus may include a cartridge comprising a release device configured to release a substance, a light device configured to simulate burning of a tip of a cigar or cigarette, a controller operatively and communicatively coupled to the release device and the light device, and a power source configured to provide power to the cartridge, the controller, and the light device. The light device may be configured to vary a level of intensity of light emitted based on an amount of airflow between the inlet hole and the outlet hole.

The present invention an electronic inhaler for the delivery of pharmaceuticals through vaporization.

A method of oral delivery of a medication to a user's lungs with an inhaler that includes the steps of (a) receiving an actuation signal in response to release of the medication from the inhaler, (b) receiving a first accelerometer measurement indicating an orientation of the inhaler, (c) storing the actuation signal and the first accelerometer measurement in a memory, (d) determining whether the orientation of the inhaler exceeds a predetermined proper orientation threshold, and (d) determining a quality of use of the inhaler based on the actuation signal and the first accelerometer measurement.

Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.

A method is described for supplying a metered amount of a liquid medicament to an aerosolizing device. The method utilizes a dispenser comprising an elongate dispenser body having a proximal end and a tip at a distal end through which a liquid medicament is dispensed. The dispenser further comprises a dispensing mechanism that operates to dispense a metered quantity of the liquid medicament from the tip each time the dispenser body is compressed. The dispenser is grasped with one hand such that the fingers wrap around the dispenser body, with the thumb closest to the proximal end and the last finger closest to the tip. The tip is inserted into an opening of an inhaler and the elongate body is forced toward the tip to cause the dispenser body to compress, thereby operating the dispensing mechanism and causing a metered quantity of the liquid medicament to eject into the inhaler.

Various exemplary drug delivery devices with a mechanical stop, drug products utilizing the same, and methods of using drug delivery devices with a mechanical stop are provided. In general, a nasal drug delivery device is configured to dispense therefrom first and second doses of a drug therefrom into a nose. The drug delivery device includes a mechanical stop configured to provide a pause between the delivery of the first and second doses. During the pause, a user of the drug delivery device can move the drug delivery device from one nostril, into which the first dose was sprayed, to another nostril, into which the second dose can be sprayed. The mechanical stop is configured to hold the drug delivery device in a static delivery state.

A nebulizer and a storage device are provided. The nebulizer includes a casing, an atomization module fixed to the casing, a rotating module rotatably assembled to the casing, a linking module assembled to the rotating module, and a locking module. The linking module is configured to be connected to a bottom of the container bottle, and the starting module is configured to drive the nebulizer by being pushed, thereby enabling liquid in the container bottle to be atomized toward an outside of the nebulizer through the atomization module in an atomization process. The locking module is configured to be connected to a bottom of the container bottle. When the nebulizer completes a predetermined number of times of the atomization process, the locking mechanism is moved toward the casing and is then limited to restrict an operation of the nebulizer. Accordingly, after the nebulizer completes the predetermined number of times of the atomization process, the locking module can restrict rotation of the rotating module for preventing the nebulizer from using the container bottle arranged therein.

The present disclosure provides a dose collection apparatus that comprises a first conduit comprising a first inlet port and a first fluid flow path and a second conduit comprising a second inlet port and a second fluid flow path.

Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.

A vaporizing article, comprises a vaporizer drive circuit; one or more memories configured to store a percentage of at least one constituent in an inhalation media, one or more compensation values for at least one compensation category for the at least one constituent, and instructions; and a control circuit comprising a processor coupled with the one or more memories configured to run the instructions, the instructions configured to cause the processor to: receive a dose target for a constituent; determine whether to perform compensation for an inhalation media dose in order to ensure the dose target is met; when compensation is to be performed, determine the properly compensated inhalation media dose based on an associated compensation value for the constituent; and control the vaporizer drive circuit so as to dispense a compensated dose of the inhalation media.
