Abstract: A nebulizer for producing an inhalable mist of droplets, comprising at least an aerosol generator, a housing having a liquid reservoir and control electronics, the aerosol generator consisting at least of a membrane, a piezo element and a substrate plate, and the control electronics comprising at least an RF generator, a controller, memory and switching elements, and an inductor. The aerosol generator forms a resonant circuit together with the inductor and the control electronics are configured to at least partly excite the aerosol generator to vibrate. The aerosol generator is configured such that aerosol droplets are producible by vibrations and the RF generator is configured to vary the amount of aerosol produced.

Abstract: To facilitate the testing of small electronic components, an improved test probe and transport wheel assembly are disclosed. The basic form of the probe features a fixed support body onto which a movable base is secured by at least one resilient structure. Secured to the movable base are a number of leads that may be moved through complementary tunnels in a fixed guide block toward the side-located terminals of an electronic component to be tested. The transport wheel assembly includes a wheel that has a number of peripherally-located compartments for receiving the electronic components. Each of the compartments includes a metal base. Also disclosed is a metal roller that is designed to press on an end of a component during testing. The metal base of each compartment and the metal roller facilitate electrical connection to the component's end-located terminals by side-located leads from the test probe.

Abstract: To facilitate the testing of small electronic components, an improved test probe is disclosed. The basic form of the probe comprises a support body made of at least one strip of circuit board material. A pill-shaped conductive contact is secured to and extends outwardly from a front end of the support body. A conductive layer of the circuit board strip connects the contact to a lead that extends outwardly from a rear end of the support body. A middle part of the support body features a series of thru-cuts that enable the support body to resiliently flex and act like a spring.
