  • Patent number: 9308325
    Abstract: Described here are methods, devices, and kits for microjet drug delivery. The devices described here may be modular or non-modular. The modular devices typically include a first module having a drug reservoir and a nozzle in fluid communication with the drug reservoir and a second module having an actuator and a power supply. The power supply provides power to the actuator and when the first and second modules are coupled, the actuator is capable of acting on a dispensing member causing it to dispense a drug in liquid form from the drug reservoir via the nozzle at a velocity sufficient to penetrate skin. Other devices described include a nozzle, a reservoir in fluid communication with the nozzle, a dispensing member, and an actuator. In these devices, the nozzle has at least one feature that enhances nozzle contact with the skin in order to reduce lateral drug leakage about the nozzle.

  • Publication number: 20040094134
    Abstract: The present invention concerns apparatus, kits and methods for converting ICE vehicles to run on hydrogen fuel. Certain embodiments of the invention may comprise HIPAs, hydrogen gas manifolds and/or hydrogen fuel sources. The HIPAs are designed to replace the spark plugs in internal combustion engines and may comprise a hydrogen input tap, hydrogen channel, spark producer and/or one or more feedback sensors. In some embodiments, a computer and/or CPU may electronically control the timing of hydrogen ignition. The computer or CPU may be remotely programmed by modem and telephone connection to provide highly accurate ignition and other engine parameters to optimize vehicle performance and eliminate backfiring and/or pre-ignition. The hydrogen fuel may be packaged into cassettes or other modular storage systems. Cassettes may be inserted into Decom™ units to provide hydrogen fuel to the vehicle.
