Abstract: An ingestible device for delivering a substance to a chosen location in the GI tract of a mammal includes a receiver of electromagnetic radiation for powering an openable part of the device to an opened position for dispensing of the substance. The receiver includes a coiled wire that couples the energy field, the wire having an air or ferrite core. In a further embodiment the invention includes an apparatus for generating the electromagnetic radiation, the apparatus including one or more pairs of field coils supported in a housing. The device optionally includes a latch defined by a heating resistor and a fusible restraint. The device may also include a flexible member that may serve one or both the functions of activating a transmitter circuit to indicate dispensing of the substance; and restraining of a piston used for expelling the substance.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lead-free solder paste comprising a solder paste flux and solder alloy particles that are substantially lead-free wherein the solder paste flux comprises resin dissolved in a solvent and also includes undissolved resin particles less than 25 &mgr;m in size homogenously dispersed therein to provide improved solder alloy powder coalescence and substrate surface wetting while maintaining appropriate solder paste rheology for use in printed circuit board assembly processes.

Abstract: Azo-and/or disulfide-containing polymers for use as drug delivery systems having site-specific release of the drug in the colon are obtained by polycondensation or polyaddition of an azo- and/or polysulfide disulfide containing a, w-dihydroxy or diamino reagent with a suitable a, w-difunctional dicarboxylic acid; disocyanato-, disulfide comonomer. The resulting reduction sensitive polymers are linear macromolecules containing an azo and/or a disulfide bond in their polymer backbone.
