Patent number: 6230052Abstract: An implantable device for inducing salivation by neural stimulation at neurally sensitive location within an oral or perioral tissue of a user. The device includes a housing adapted to be permanently implanted within the oral or perioral tissue. The housing has an enclosure therein for engaging an electrical signal generator. The signal generator includes a power source and at least one electrode operatively associated with the housing and electrically coupled to the signal generator. The electrode is so positioned with respect to the housing so as to form an electrical contact with the oral or perioral tissue and in operative contact with a neurally sensitive location of the oral or perioral tissue, the stimulation of which by electrical energy can induce salivation when the housing is operatively disposed, whereby the electrode applies a signal generated by the signal generator to the sensitive location of the oral or perioral tissue to induce salivation.Type: GrantFiled: January 29, 1999Date of Patent: May 8, 2001Inventors: Andy Wolff, Azgad Yellin

Patent number: 5050616Abstract: A fluid sampling device for sampling and collecting biological fluids from membrane bounded areas of a subject includes a buffering chamber to which a vacuum is applied, a sampling tube connector, a storage tube connector and a vent. In operation the vent is closed to apply the vacuum to a sampling tube connected to the sample tube connector to draw a sample into the buffering chamber. The drawn fluid flows under gravitational force into a storage tube attached to the storage tube connector. The device is particularly useful for sampling and collecting submandibular and sublingual saliva.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 1990Date of Patent: September 24, 1991Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human ServicesInventors: Andy Wolff, Ronald L.
