Patent number: 8997799Abstract: A method for filling a plurality of microdepressions in a major surface of a web with finely divided powder in which the web is fed continuously to and through a powder filling stage including a driven roller. At the powder filling stage, the powder, which is fed either onto the web upstream of the roller or to the roller of the powder filling stage, is filled into the microdepressions of the web using the driven roller, wherein said roller is rotating about an axis generally transverse to the direction of web, while the surface speed of the roller and the web speed are different and wherein the roller and web are positioned relative to one another, such that between the upper surface of the web and the outer surface of the roller there is a gap.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2007Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Adamis Pharmaceuticals CorporationInventors: Peter D. Hodson, Matthew J. Wilby

Publication number: 20030121935Abstract: Gaskets for use in a metering valve are described herein. The gaskets include one or more gasket-protective components that are designed to limit the likelihood and extent to which the gasket can intrude into an opening such as the channel opening of a valve stem. The one or more gasket protective-components also limit the likelihood and extent of damage caused by repeated use of the metering valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2002Publication date: July 3, 2003Inventors: Cathleen M. Arsenault, Andrew M. Bryant, Peter D. Hodson, Charles G. Thiel, Matthew J. Wilby

Patent number: 5347998Abstract: An inhalation device for use with a pressurized aerosol canister. The device involves an electromechanical mechanism for applying a priming force to the aerosol canister prior to or at the start of inhalation. The device also involves a blocking mechanism. The electromechanical mechanism electromechanically applies to the aerosol canister a priming force sufficient to actuate the aerosol canister, and the blocking mechanism prevents the priming force from actuating the aerosol canister until inhalation is detected.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1992Date of Patent: September 20, 1994Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing CompanyInventors: Peter D. Hodson, Eric A. Baum, David K. Smith, Anton Kuepper, Matthew J. Wilby
