  • Patent number: 7273916
    Abstract: A cross-linkable and cross-linked organosilicon polymer which is prepared from a mixture of a reactive polysiloxane resin having both reactive carbon-carbon double bonds and silicone-hydrogen groups, characterized by alternating structures of polycyclic polyene residue and cyclic (or tetrahedral) polysiloxane residue, and either vinyl terminated fluorine-containing polysiloxane or vinyl terminated phenyl-substituted siloxane. In an alternative embodiment, the polymer comprises a mixture of vinyl terminated phenyl-substituted polysiloxane and vinyl functional fluorosilicone elastomer with the cross-linkable and cross linked organosilicon polymer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5564414
    Abstract: A system delivers a number of safe doses from a pressurized and metered medication canister via a dispenser to a patient. The improvement includes a counter device for accurately determining the number of safe doses delivered from the medication canister. Also, a warning device alerts the patient either visually, audibly, mechanically or in a combination thereof about an impending and then a final exhaustion of the number of safe doses delivered from the medication canister. The improved system takes advantage of the patient-actuated movement of the medication canister in the dispenser body to activate either an electronic or a mechanical counter device. Alternatively, the improved system may be patient-activated independently from, but in conjunction with, the dispensing of medication from the canister.
