Abstract: Aerosolizing delivery apparatuses can include cartridges configured to be detachably connected to a delivery device. The cartridges can include: a housing defining a reservoir and a cartridge outlet, the cartridge outlet configured to permit fluid communication between the reservoir and an exterior of the cartridge. A surface of the housing can be configured to define a bypass port between the housing and a surface of the delivery device when the cartridge is assembled with the delivery device.

Abstract: Aerosolized food products can be of sufficient size to deposit in the mouth without easily entering into the respiratory tract and of small enough size so as to allow for suspension in air. An apparatus incorporating an aerosol generating device and food products can allow for the aerosolization of the food products and the delivery thereof in a matter suitable for inhalation or deposition and subsequent ingestion. The food delivery apparatus represents a novel manner of delivering food to the mouths of humans and animals. Indeed, the apparatus of the invention is designed to produce, transport, and direct aerosolized food particles of sufficient size to deposit in the mouth without substantial exposure or entry into the respiratory tract and of small enough size so as to allow for suspension in air.
Abstract: Aerosolized particles in a determined particle size range are suspended in the air and deposited in the mouth without easily entering into the respiratory tract. An apparatus incorporating an aerosol generating device and particles can allow for the aerosolization of the particles and the delivery thereof in a manner suitable for inhalation or deposition and subsequent ingestion. The particle delivery apparatus represents a novel means for delivering food to the mouths of humans and animals. Indeed, the apparatus of the invention is designed to produce, transport, and direct aerosolized particles (e.g., food particles) in a determined size range, suspended in air, to be deposited in the mouth without substantial exposure or entry into the respiratory tract.
