Patent number: 8578932Abstract: A Breath Actuated Inhaler having a canister with a medication dispensed when compressing the canister. Compression of the canister is prevented by a mechanism only allowing compression when an air flow is sufficient to ensure dispensing of the medication in the lungs/throat of the person. No latch or blocking mechanism is provided so that any force exerted by the person is, at all times, directed to the canister or preventing mechanism so that when no force is exerted by the user, no force is exerted in the inhaler. Prolonged exertion of such force could otherwise cause dimension changes and subsequent uncertainty of the dose size.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2009Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Bang & Olufsen Medicom A/SInventors: Bjørn Knud Andersen, Søren Christrup, Jørgen Rasmussen

Patent number: 7593534Abstract: In well-known electronic stethoscopic transducers the sensitive element is influenced by signals transmitted via the skin, and the rear side is enclosed in a housing to prevent airborne noise from reaching the sensitive element. According to the invention, an improved signal-to-noise ratio is obtained by letting the transducer be a piezoelectric transflexural diaphragm in contact with the skin, the rear side of the diaphragm communicating with the surrounding air via an acoustical network, thereby receiving airborne noise which acts to counteract the influence of noise coming from the skin.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2003Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Bang & Olufsen Medicom A/SInventor: Bjoern Knud Andersen

Publication number: 20090052699Abstract: A microphone component that may be used in many types of enclosures for making contact with a living body for picking up body sounds. Piezoelectric transflexural diaphragm elements (3, 5, 6) are known; however, they are only useful as microphone elements when the manner of creating electrical contact does not influence their mechanical properties. A microphone component has been developed, which is both rugged and amenable to very inexpensive manufacture. This is obtained using a laminated construction in which a special layer is placed between the piezoelectric transflexural diaphragm element and the electrical interface element.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2004Publication date: February 26, 2009Applicant: BANG & OLUFSEN MEDICOM A/SInventor: Bjoern Knud Andersen
