Patent number: 9725228Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing a fluid includes a rigid vial that has a main fluid chamber containing a fluid, and a pump assembly that is in fluid communication with the main fluid chamber and is configured to dispense a predetermined quantity of fluid from the main fluid chamber. A flexible bladder is provided which is located within the main fluid chamber and is configured to expand to fill the ullage created within the main fluid chamber during dispensing of fluid by the pump assembly. The resilient bladder tends to force itself outwardly toward the rigid vial and, in turn, increases the pressure within the main fluid chamber in comparison to the interior of the bladder to thereby prevent the ingress of air or vapors through the bladder or otherwise into the main fluid chamber.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2012Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: DR. PY INSTITUTE LLCInventors: Daniel Py, Joseph M. Ting

Publication number: 20040147901Abstract: A device for intradermal delivery having a housing containing a syringe for injecting a substance at a predetermined insertion depth and a base assembly for tensioning a target area of skin. One embodiment tensions the skin by vacuum and another by expansion of a mounting surface in contact with the skin. Upon tensioning the target area, a needle extends into the target area to the insertion depth. At the insertion depth, a plunger depresses within the syringe and delivers the substance therein through the needle. Upon completing injection, the needle retracts, the skin tensioning is released and the intradermal delivery device is removed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2003Publication date: July 29, 2004Applicant: Medical InstillInventors: Daniel Py, Julian V.

Patent number: 5855827Abstract: A Pulse Detonation Synthesis (PDS) process for the manufacture and deposition of ceramic powders and coatings is disclosed. PDS may use multiple detonation pulses that are initiated in a reaction chamber to synthesize ceramic materials from reactants introduced into the chamber. The reactants may be provided in the form of divided solids, gases, liquids, gels, and/or mixtures of the foregoing. The synthesized ceramic materials may take the form of micron and/or nano-scale powders or coatings. Non-coating powders may be collected for later use. The coatings produced by the present invention include, but are not limited to, gradient coatings, uniform coatings, thermal barrier coatings, and other commercially useful coatings.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 1996Date of Patent: January 5, 1999Assignee: Adroit Systems, Inc.Inventors: Thomas R.
