  • Patent number: 10426859
    Abstract: A device for releasing volatile substances comprising a container containing the volatile substances located in a fixed position, and means for generating an air flow in order to release the volatile substances, the means for generating an air flow comprising a movable body, the movement of which generates the air flow; at least one magnet arranged on said movable body; and means for generating magnetic flux, the actuation of which causes the displacement of the movable body by means of the repulsion force between said at least one magnet in the movable body and the magnetic flux. The device enables energy consumption to be improved by using magnetically assisted periodic low-consumption actuation.

  • Publication number: 20050166927
    Abstract: The present invention is related a nasal positive airway pressure device. The nasal device utilises an engagement means located about nasal cannulae to engage and secure the cannulae within the nares of a patient. The engagement means is a nasal scaling flap. The flap in its natural bias is tapered, the wide-open end of which is shaped to conform to the facial contours of a patient's nose around the outside of the nose. Thus in a closed form, the flap provides a cup-like device that is fitted around the patient's nose and prevent the nasal device from falling from the patients nose. In the open form, which allows for placement and fitting of the nasal device, the flap is intended to be in a bent back position to aid insertion of the nasal cannulae into the patient's nares.
