  • Publication number: 20080012229
    Abstract: Playing cards having a deck divided into a first suit of threat cards and a second suit of tool cards. Play is conducted by each player concocting a story based on the cards, for instance, a defense, using what is shown on the tool card or cards the player has, against the threat shown on the threat card the player has. Points may be awarded for creativity in telling a story with the winner having the most points at the end of play, or alternatively, players may play for the fun of creating stories.

  • Patent number: 6595209
    Abstract: A dry powder delivery system and method for use, the system having an elongated tube containing a matrix having a measured amount of dry particles of a therapeutic compound and a porous element having a desiccant therein. The porous element with the desiccant can be combined with the powder-containing matrix or it can be two separate elements. The pressure drop induced by inhalation of the user causes air to flow through the tube and into contact with the particles of dry powder for discharging the particles for inhalation by the user.

  • Patent number: 5746227
    Abstract: A method for delivering dry powder particles through the mouth of a user, in which a suction is created through an opening in a proximal end of an elongated housing for drawing air into a flow path in the housing from an opening in a distal end of the housing, the distal end including an opening in the housing with a ridge surrounding the housing, and through a resistance member in the housing for introducing a controlled pressure drop in the housing and a resistance to the drawing of air into the mouth of the user.

  • Patent number: 5441060
    Abstract: A dry powder delivery system having an elongaged tube containing a matrix having a measured amount of dry particles of therapeutic compound and a porous element having a dessicant therein is disclosed. The porous element with the dessicant can be combined with the powder-containing matrix or the they can be two separate elements. The pressure drop induced by inhalation by the user causes air to flow through the tube and into contact with the particles of dry powder for discharging the particles for inhalation by the user.
