Abstract: Various embodiments of a breath-activated nebulizer with fluidic control and related methods of using such a nebulizer are disclosed. The nebulizer may include a body comprising a reservoir for holding medication, a nozzle for emitting a jet of pressurized gas, and a fluid conduit in communication with the reservoir for delivery of the medication proximate the jet to produce an aerosol of medication. The nebulizer may also include a nebulizer outlet in communication with an interior of the body for delivery of the aerosol to a patient, a control conduit in fluid communication with the fluid conduit for delivery of a control gas to the fluid conduit to prevent the delivery of the medication proximate the jet, and a fluidic amplifier configured to control the delivery of the control gas to the control conduit.

Abstract: Various embodiments of a breath-activated nebulizer with flow-based fluidic control and related methods of using such a nebulizer are disclosed. The nebulizer may include a body comprising a reservoir for holding medication, a nozzle for emitting a jet of pressurized gas, and a fluid conduit in communication with the reservoir for delivery of the medication proximate the jet to produce an aerosol of medication. The nebulizer may also include a nebulizer outlet in communication with the body for delivery of the aerosol to a patient, an entrainment passage for providing entrainment flow from atmosphere during inhalation by the patient, and a control conduit in fluid communication with the fluid conduit for delivery of a control gas to the fluid conduit to prevent the delivery of the medication proximate the jet. In some exemplary embodiments, the control conduit may comprise a gas passage proximate the entrainment passage to allow the control gas to flow across the entrainment passage.

Abstract: The thin section data display control panel of the present invention includes a graphic overlay, a diffuser block affixed to the graphic overlay and light emitting diodes surface mounted on a printed circuit board for providing localized sources of light to be transmitted through the diffuser block to the overlay. The graphic overlay is generally opaque, but has translucent areas through which the illumination shines. An overlay reflective portion on a diffuser side of the overlay reflects light back into the diffuser, except in areas adjacent to the translucent areas of the overlay. The diffuser block is affixed to the graphic overlay and is generally transparent for transmitting the light from the light emitting diodes. Block reflective surfaces on the perimeter edges of the diffuser block prevent light from exiting through the edges. Matte surfaces of the diffuser block adjacent the graphic overlay and adjacent the printed circuit board scatter the light transmitted from the light emitting diodes.

Abstract: A tray is described for storing and transporting a module. The tray includes a slot which can be used to hold the module in an upright position to allow the module to be filled with water.
