  • Patent number: 7129619
    Abstract: An ultrasonic nebulizer for producing high-volume sub-micron droplets is disclosed. The ultrasonic nebulizer utilizes a 3 or 5 MHz frequency as an oscillation frequency for producing sub-micron droplets. The nebulizer can also use at least one piezoelectric ceramic oscillator for increasing the volume of the droplets. The ultrasonic nebulizer comprises an ac/dc converter, an oscillator circuit, an amplifying device, a nebulization chamber, and at least one piezoelectric ceramic oscillator. The ac/dc converter rectifies an ac current to a dc current. The oscillator circuit produces an oscillation signal with a frequency larger than or equal to 3 MHz. The amplifying device amplifies the oscillation signal. The nebulization chamber has a lower face for holding a liquid to be nebulized.

  • Patent number: 6461592
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for transferring one or more active ingredients between different phase carriers, which includes: (a) providing a solid, semi-solid, or nonaqueous liquid drug which contains at least one active ingredient; (b) admixing said drug with water or water solution to form an admixture; and (c) nebulizing said admixture to form liquid fine drops containing said active ingredient. This method enables the active ingredient stored in a solid phase carrier to transfer into an aqueous phase carrier, or enables the active ingredient stored in a non-aqueous liquid carrier to transfer into an aqueous phase carrier. The aqueous phase carrier contains the active ingredient can then be nebulized with a nebulizer by means of ultrasonic vibration. The present invention provides a new method for controlling administration by transferring the active ingredient between different phase carriers.
