  • Publication number: 20210085888
    Abstract: Provided is a system and method for multi-modal dosing of a product. The system provides a control base for coupling to one of a plurality of different cartridges containing product, at least two cartridges having different modalities of delivery—the coupled control base and selected cartridge providing a dosing device. Each cartridge has at least a unique identifier, which may be read by the control base and correlated through a database to confirm that the user is authorized to use the cartridge, and use of the cartridge for a dose of product will not conflict with other products received by the user and known to the system. Cartridges that are not coupled to the control base are non-functional and cannot dispense product as intended with the system. An associated method of use is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8409462
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing surgical blades from either a crystalline or poly-crystalline material, preferably in the form of a wafer, is disclosed. The method includes preparing the crystalline or poly-crystalline wafers by mounting them and machining trenches into the wafers. The methods for machining the trenches, which form the bevel blade surfaces, include a diamond blade saw, laser system, ultrasonic machine, and a hot forge press. The wafers are then placed in an etchant solution which isotropically etches the wafers in a uniform manner, such that layers of crystalline or poly-crystalline material are removed uniformly, producing single or double bevel blades. Nearly any angle can be machined into the wafer which remains after etching. The resulting radii of the blade edges is 5-500 nm, which is the same caliber as a diamond edged blade, but manufactured at a fraction of the cost.
