  • Patent number: 4425117
    Abstract: A device for the release of a substance at a defined or desired location in the alimentary tract. The device has a capsule having a separating wall therein, which forms a first chamber and a second chamber in the capsule. A hole is present in the wall of the first chamber. A compression spring, that is in a compressed state, is affixed to a body located in the second chamber. A needle is mounted on the compression spring facing the separation wall. A resonant circuit, in the second chamber, is tuned to an electromagnetic field of high frequency. The resonant circuit has a coupling coil, positioned around the body, a capacitor, connected to the other end of the coil and extending away from the first chamber, and a resistance wire, attached to the coupling coil and the capacitor. A fuse wire is connected to the compression spring, extends through the longitudinal passageway of the body and is connected to the body end facing away from the first chamber. The fuse wire contacts the resistance wire.
