Abstract: A permeameter device comprising a pedestal base, wherein said pedestal base comprises an inner raised wall and an outer raised wall, wherein the inner raised wall is lower in height than the outer raised wall, a trough defined between the outer and inner walls of dimensions to accept therein a cylindrical tube, and at least one passage, having an inner port on said inner wall and extending through the outer wall through an outer port for fluid connection through said passage, and a loading rod, wherein a sample is prepared to fit within the cylindrical tube.

Abstract: An inhalation device comprising a housing, a sensor, a microcontroller, and an actuating device controlled by the microcontroller; the housing comprises a mouthpiece having an opening connected to a passage in said housing, wherein the other end of the passage provides an opening for a cartridge; said sensor being in communication with the microprocessor and configured to detect a parameter based on an action to the mouthpiece, and wherein a parameter being reached, the microcontroller engages the actuating device which engages the cartridge to deliver medication through the passage and out of the mouthpiece.

Abstract: A composition comprised of a perodixase, a catalase and a peroxide that, in combination, is suitable for degradation of pollen wall sporopollenin, and coatings comprising sporopollenin in a matrix that can be selectively degraded through application of a peroxidase, a catalase and a peroxide to the sporopollenin matrix.

Abstract: A sound generating analog synthesizer comprising a controller electronically connected to rotate at least one knob, actuate at least one switch, and make at least one patch connection; said knob comprising a drive system, a shaft position sensor, and a potentiometer; wherein said controller rotates at least one knob by generating instructions to said drive system; said at least one switch comprising an electronic connection to said controller to turn on or off said switch upon receiving instructions from said controller; and at least one patch connection, comprising at least one patch switch, wherein said at least one patch switch controls connection between at least one input of said patch and at least one output of said patch; and a control system to interpolate the potentiometer, switch and patch connections between at least two predetermined settings.

Abstract: A sound generating analog synthesizer that is comprised of potentiometers, a switch or switches and a set of patch jacks has a control system that can be operated in three modes, a manual mode, an automatic mode, and a guided mode; wherein manual mode allows potentiometer and switch positions as well as patch cable connections to be set by hand; wherein automatic mode, automatically sets patch connections as on or off, as well as set potentiometer positions and switch states with electromechanical or electrical devices; and wherein the guided mode provides at least one visual information on how to change the potentiometer positions, switch states, and patch jack connections such that a previously obtained sound can be reproduced.
