An ampoule with an integrated piezoelectric unit for use with a personal nebulizer or vaporizing unit with a mouthpiece. The substance to be vaporized is contained in the ampoule which is inserted into the unit, where the substance is vaporized through the integrated piezoelectric transducers or atomizers providing sonic or ultrasonic vibration. The substance to be vaporized may include a variety of therapeutic, homeopathic, or naturopathic formulations, remedies, or serums.

A portable nebulizer includes a nebulizer body including a nozzle hole and an atomizer plate positioned in the nozzle hole, and a dust shield coupled to the nebulizer body and movable relative to the nebulizer body between a dust protection position where the dust shield shields the nozzle hole of the nebulizer body and an open position where the dust shield is kept away from the nozzle hole of the nebulizer body, thus, the dust shield is capable of protecting the nozzle hole of the portable nebulizer against environmental contamination.

A mist inhaler device (200) for generating a mist including a therapeutic for inhalation by a user. The device includes a mist generator device (201) and a driver device (202). The driver device (202) is configured to drive the mist generator device (201) at an optimum frequency to maximise the efficiency of mist generation by the mist generator device (201).

Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for producing substantially uniform droplets. The system includes a fluid reservoir vessel defining a fluid reservoir, a separation membrane at one end of the fluid reservoir, at least one capillary channel at an opposite end of the fluid reservoir, a solution dispenser, and a piezo actuator in contact with a separation membrane. The separation membrane has a thickness greater than about 0.2 mm, and the solution dispenser maintains the fluid reservoir filled with fluid such that the fluid simultaneously contacts the separation membrane and the capillary channel. The solution dispenser maintains the fluid reservoir under pressure to create a fluid stream exiting the capillary. The piezo actuator is in contact with the separation membrane on a side opposite that in contact with the fluid, and the piezo actuator transfers a pressure wave through the fluid in the fluid reservoir to break up the fluid stream into uniform droplets.

The invention relates to an aerosol delivery device (A) comprising an aerosol generator for generating an aerosol in the aerosol delivery device (A). The aerosol generator comprises a membrane (1) and a vibrator (7) which is configured to vibrate a fluid (3) and to aerosolise the fluid (3) by the membrane (1). The aerosol delivery device (A) further comprises a fluid reservoir (2) for receiving the fluid (3) to be aerosolised, wherein the fluid reservoir (2) is arranged in fluid communication with the membrane (1). Moreover, the aerosol delivery device (A) comprises a controller (10) which is configured to operate the vibrator (7) so as to vibrate the fluid (3), a temperature sensor (13) which is configured to detect a temperature of the vibrator (7) and/or the membrane (1), and a detector (13a) which is configured to detect the presence of fluid (3) in contact with the membrane (1) and/or in the fluid reservoir (2) on the basis of the temperature of the vibrator (7) and/or the membrane (1) detected by the temperature sensor (13). Further, the invention relates to a method of operating such an aerosol delivery device (A).

Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for a complete diffuser and a two-part decorative diffuser cover. The two-part decorative diffuser cover has an inner cavity shaped to receive the complete diffuser. One part of the two-part decorative diffuser cover is removable couple to the complete diffuser. The two-part decorative diffuser cover forms a single decorative structure when both parts of the two-part decorative diffuser cover are joined together.

The complete system for a portable diffusing device, including diffusing engine, housing, delivery of active materials, active material reservoir container, power source, user interface with the device, as well as a case enclosing the device, is described in this invention. The device incorporates a piezoelectric dispersion mechanism with a staged active material delivery mechanism, allowing for ease of removal and/or replacement of the active material reservoir container via a simple means of attachment or detachment. The invention can comprise either one complete system housed in one device, or a multiplicity of systems housed in one device. The device of the invention also incorporates an on-board power source allowing for portability of the device, as well as a direct interface mechanism and/or a wireless mechanism for user control of the device. The invention also includes a case for housing, charging, and communicating with the device.

Liquid drug cartridges and an associated inhaler are used to deliver one more separate doses of an aerosolized liquid drug. A cartridge includes a container for storing the liquid drug, an end cap having an ejection opening, a filter element, and a piston that is repositionable relative to the container to selectively eject a volume of liquid drug from the ejection opening. The filter element filters the liquid drug prior to ejection from the ejection opening. The liquid drug cartridge can be coupled with an inhaler that includes an aerosol generator. The aerosol generator includes a vibratable membrane onto which the liquid drug is ejected. The liquid drug is aerosolized by the vibration of the membrane for inhalation by a user.
