  • Publication number: 20240173492
    Abstract: An inhaler monitoring device comprising a body comprising an inlet and an outlet which are in fluid communication with respect to one another to define a channel there between, wherein the inlet is for coupling to an inhaler for dispensing a medication and the outlet is for coupling to a spacer having a mouthpiece through which a user can inhale the 5 dispensed medication from the inhaler, one or more sensors which are configured to measure one or more inhalation characteristics when the user inhales the dispensed medication from the inhaler through the inhaler monitoring device via the spacer in-use and processing means which is configured to determine feedback information based on one or more of the inhalation characteristics of the user and supplementary data.

  • Patent number: 8069625
    Abstract: Fire resistant door, glazing, and mullion frames include intumescent material at least partially embedded in the frame adjacent the door or glazing. Trim materials are positioned over the intumescent material to prevent tampering with and damage to the intumescent material while improving the aesthetic appearance of the frame. The jamb trim has a thickness that allows heat to be transmitted to the intumescent material in the event of a fire so that the intumescent material will expand and fill a clearance space between the frame and the door or glazing. The expanded intumescent material retards the passage of heat and, by sealing the clearance space, inhibits the transmission of smoke, flames and gases from one side of the door or glazing to the other. After expanding, the intumescent material will char and solidify, which may provide an added benefit of structural support for the door or glazing.

  • Patent number: 7059092
    Abstract: Door and glazing frames include intumescent material positioned in a dado that is formed in a jamb side surface. Trim materials are positioned over the intumescent material to improve the appearance of the frame and to prevent tampering with and damage to the intumescent material. The jamb trim is preferably made of a cut hardwood panel having a thickness that allows heat to be transmitted to the intumescent material in the event of a fire so that the intumescent material will expand and fill a clearance space between the frame and the door or glazing. The expanded intumescent material inhibits the transmission of smoke and heat between the door and door frame. After expanding, the intumescent material will char and solidify, which may provide an added benefit of structural support for the door and or glazing.
