This non-combusting flavor inhaler is provided with a first flow path which is disposed downstream of a vaporizer unit, and, as an aerosol flow path, a second flow path which is disposed downstream of the first flow path. The second flow path houses a flavor source for imparting flavor to an aerosol. In order to suppress unevenness of aerosol flow in the second flow path, an aerosol flow adjustment chamber for adjusting flow of the aerosol supplied from the first flow path is provided between the first flow path and the second flow path.

This non-combusting flavor inhaler is provided with: a power source unit which comprises at least a battery; a first cartridge which comprises at least a vaporizer unit which, with power provided from an aerosol source and the battery, vaporizes an aerosol source without combustion; a second cartridge which has at least a flavor source and which imparts flavor to the aerosol vaporized by the vaporizer unit by said aerosol passing through said second cartridge; and a control unit which, upon detecting that it is time for the second cartridge to be replaced, controls a notification unit to notify that it is time for the second cartridge to be replaced.

A free jet dosage system serves for administering a fluid into an eye. The free jet dosage system includes a micropump having an inlet and an outlet, the micropump being configured to transfer the fluid from the inlet to the outlet and to dispense the fluid at the outlet to the eye as a free jet. The free jet dosage system further includes a sensor configured to sense the eye and to controller a control, and a micropump, wherein the controller is configured to activate the micropump as soon as the eye is sensed by the sensor.

A cartridge for a non-burning type flavor inhaler including a flow path forming body having a shape extending along a predetermined direction to form an aerosol flow path, an outer frame having a shape extending along the predetermined direction to accommodate the flow path forming body, a reservoir that is configured to retain an aerosol source, is positioned on the periphery of the flow path forming body in a cross section orthogonal to the predetermined direction and is positioned in a gap between the flow path forming body and the outer frame and an end cap that closes the gap from the downstream side, wherein an outer edge of the end cap contacts an inner wall surface of the outer frame in the cross section orthogonal to the predetermined direction and wherein an inner edge of the end cap is positioned between the outer edge of the flow path forming body and the inner edge of the flow path forming body in the cross section orthogonal to the predetermined direction.

A therapeutic treatment system has a delivery device is adapted to deliver a cooled breathing gas mixture to a patient and an injection device positioned near a distal end of the delivery device. The injection device is coupled to a source of liquid. The treatment system also includes a control system coupled to the delivery device and the injection device. Alternatively, the control system is adapted to control the injection device to release a fluid into the cooled breathing gas mixture to form a frozen mist of fine ice particles in the cooled breathing gas mixture.

An inhaler including a first chamber including a mouthpiece for inhaling thereby, at least two inlets, and a controllable valve for each of the at least two inlets, a controller for controlling the controllable valves, and a cartridge for being attachable to each of the at least two inlets, each of the cartridges for containing a different substance, thereby the controller controls inhalation ratio between the substances.

A valved container assembly (10) comprising a container (12) for containing a fluid, the container (12) extending in an axial direction and having at least one venting opening (12a) at a front end and at least one dispensing opening (12b). The valved container assembly (10) further comprising a valve (14) disposed in the container (12) and a plunger element (20) disposed axially rearward of the valve (14), the plunger element (20) being axially moveable in the container (12) and defining a first volume (22) in the container (12) between the plunger element (20) and the valve (14), where the plunger element (20) is configured to increase the pressure of a fluid in the first volume (22) upon axial movement relative to the valve (14). The valve (14) comprises a permanent seal (16) forming a fluidic seal between the at least one venting opening (12a) and the first volume (22), and a resilient seal (18) that is axially rearward of said permanent seal (16) and is moveable between a sealing configuration and an open configuration. In the sealing configuration the resilient seal (18) forms a fluidic seal with the container (12) between the at least one dispensing opening (12b) and the first volume (22). In at least one axial position of the valve (14) in the container (12) when the resilient seal (18) is in the open configuration the first volume (22) is fluidly connected to the at least one dispensing opening (12b). The resilient seal (18) is moveable from the sealing configuration to the open configuration upon fluid pressure in the first volume (22) exceeding a predetermined pressure threshold.
