Abstract: An inhaler/puffer is provided. The inhaler/puffer may comprise a body, a cap, and a base, the cap and the base being configured to functionally engage the body. The body may define a chamber wherein minerals, such as salt, may be housed. The body, cap, and base may be configured to permit a user to inhale on the cap and draw air through the base into the chamber, over the minerals, through the cap and into the respiratory system of the user. Additionally, the inhaler/puffer may be placed in-line with an oxygen breathing system, such that as the breathing system provides oxygen to the user, the user also receives salt air treatment.

Abstract: A linear actuator system can move a probe along a substantially linear path. The linear actuator system can have a housing with a magnet mounted in the housing creating a magnetic field. An electric coil piston can be slidably mounted in the housing. The coil piston can have a coil for carrying a current and can be disposed for translational movement within the magnetic field in response to current flow through the coil. The probe can be attached to the coil for translational movement with the coil. In addition, a pneumatic cylinder can be connected to the piston configured to apply a force to the piston in response to an activation of the pneumatic cylinder. Accordingly, the linear actuator system can combine the beneficial compact force capability of pneumatic cylinders with the programmable control features of linear electric motors, which can result in highly repeatable, high-force linear actuator systems.
