Publication number: 20200206441Abstract: A nasal delivery device can include a nasal prong and an activation member. The nasal prong can have an opening at a top and bottom portion of the prong to allow for the passage of an aerosolized treatment agent through the nasal prong. The activation member can be positioned on the nasal delivery device at a location that is spaced apart from the subject's oral cavity when the nasal prong is received into the nostril of the subject. The activation member can detect a desired exhalation state of the subject and upon detection of the desired exhalation state, the activation member activates the delivery of the aerosolized treatment agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 21, 2020Publication date: July 2, 2020Applicants: The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health & Human Services, Creare LLCInventors: Mark J.

Patent number: 8510268Abstract: The present invention relates to a geographic information system having editable maps. In an embodiment, a system provides editable maps. The system includes an edit layer dataset that stores geocoded data. At least a portion of the edit layer dataset is edited by a user. The system also includes a base layer dataset that includes trusted geocoded data and a moderation module that receives a change in the edit layer dataset. The moderation module determines whether the change is reliable and promotes the change in the edit layer dataset to the base layer dataset if the change is reliable.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2008Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: Google Inc.Inventors: Seth LaForge, Kenson Yee, David Eustis, James Norris, Ramesh Balakrishnan, Guoqiang Pan, Adam Smith, David S.
