Abstract: A drug delivery device mainly has a housing, which can be easily held and operated. The housing has one end formed with an adjustment seat capable of adjusting a range distance, and the other end connected to a gas pressure control source for providing mainstream and substream gas pressures. Disposed in the housing are a drug delivery pressuring tube, an embedded drug-can connecting seat or an external drug-can connecting seat, a replaceable drug-can container and a gas communication tube. According to this design, the minor liquid drug can be controlled, the drug-can can be replaced and the continuous quantitative injection of drug can be made. Also, all damaged or dirty members of the invention may be disassembled, cleaned or replaced.

Abstract: A drug pressuring and delivering system has an internal quantitative pusher for providing stable and precise drug delivery, and a drug pressuring and delivering device for introducing a compression gas for pressuring and ejecting a drug into an atomized drug. The quantitative pusher adopts a bidirectional motor for driving a screw rod to rotate forward or reversely to push the push rod forward or backward, such that the drug is delivered through a solenoid and a drug delivering needle in a cylinder drug delivering pipe and then quantitatively delivered to a drug delivery pressuring tube. In addition, an introduced mainstream gas in the drug delivery pressuring tube forms a gas-liquid mixing and pressuring action to achieve the precisely quantitative and uniform atomization high speed ejection function. Also, all members of the invention can be assembled/disassembled, so that the damaged or contaminated members can be detached, cleaned or replaced.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for desalinating saltwater using concentration difference energy is disclosed. In order to desalinate saltwater that is contained within a product chamber, a drive cell is used to generate a drive voltage. The product chamber has a desalination voltage such that when a sufficient voltage is applied to the product chamber, anions and cations migrate out of the product chamber, thereby desalinating the water. The sufficient voltage, which includes the drive voltage and which is equal to or greater than the desalination voltage, is applied to the product chamber, consequently effecting desalination. Beneficially, concentration difference energy can be generated using a concentrated solution, which can be generated using, for example, solar energy.

Abstract: Machine-readable media, methods, apparatus and system for caption detection are described. In some embodiments, during a non-quiesce state of a system, a configuration data for a configuration update of a configurable device of the system may be calculated, and it may be determined whether the configuration data is final configuration data or intermediate configuration data, wherein the final configuration data may be used to directly enact the configuration update during a quiesce state of the system, while the intermediate configuration data is used to indirectly enact the configuration update during the quiesce state of the system. Further, during the non-quiesce state of the system, if the configuration data is the intermediate configuration data, then codes associated with the configuration data may be determined, wherein the codes may be used to operate the configuration data to obtain the final configuration data during the quiesce state of the system.
