Patent number: 8973299Abstract: A device for trapping flying insects and a system of such devices are disclosed. The device includes a supporting frame with an associated combustible fuel supply connected to a combustion device with a fan which is operated to generate an exhaust gas having carbon dioxide to attract flying insects. The insects are drawn into a trap chamber on the frame by suction where they are collected and/or killed. The device may further include various sensors to regulate fuel flow and fan speed in accordance with insect activity as influenced by environmental and other factors.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2007Date of Patent: March 10, 2015Assignee: Woodstream CorporationInventor: Emma Amelia Durand

Patent number: 7945320Abstract: The iontophoretic drug delivery system includes electrodes controlled by a microprocessor controller to drive charged molecules contained in a drug reservoir through the skin into the issues of a patient. The iontophoretic drug delivery system further includes an antenna connected to the programmable microprocessor. The antenna allows for the programming of the microprocessor and for the exchange of patient, drug, and treatment related information between the microprocessor and an external device. The iontophoretic drug delivery system is also provided with buttons to allow a patient to manually activate the drug delivery system. The iontophoretic drug delivery system is housed within a thin polyester film membrane.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2008Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Isis Biopolymer, Inc.Inventor: Emma Amelia Durand
