  • Publication number: 20230060478
    Abstract: A computer-based system for receiving, analyzing, processing, managing and sending personal health information, and other information in conjunction with use of one or more personal nebulizer or vaporizing devices and personal breath analysis devices. System devices include a personal nebulizer or vaporizing unit with a mouthpiece, which may be detachable and replaceable. The mouthpiece includes an orifice through which vapor is emitted. The substance to be vaporized is contained in an ampoule inserted into the device, where the substance enters an atomization chamber where vaporization is achieved through piezoelectric transducers or atomizers providing sonic or ultrasonic vibration. The substance includes a variety of therapeutic, homeopathic, or naturopathic formulations, remedies, or serums.

  • Patent number: 11426650
    Abstract: A fantasy-based variant of chess that can be played by two to six players on one of several distinct game boards. Game boards are two-dimensional, and comprise a plurality of square or hexagonal play spaces arranged into a variety of polygonal shapes. Square play spaces alternate in color (e.g., light, dark), while hexagonal play spaces may be arranged in concentric rings or “circuits” of alternating color (e.g., light, dark). New types of pieces are introduced, including Dragons, Giants, Beasts, Wizards, and Mercenaries. The number and arrangement of game pieces per player varies depending on the game board.

  • Patent number: 4322113
    Abstract: A excavating machine for excavating rock and minerals from a working face having a carriage with a boom support. A cutter carrying boom is moveably supported by the boom support, and a means is provided for moving the boom relative to the carriage. A drive means is included with a sensing control means for controlling the movement of the boom relative to the carriage. The sensing control means senses a parameter proportional to the reaction cutting force on the cutter. Control over the movement of the boom is provided in two alternative modes of control. A rate mode control for controlling the machine in accordance with a preselected rate of the output of the drive means is provided, as well as a load mode control in which the movement of the boom is controlled maintaining the reaction cutting force exerted by the cutter substantially at or below a certain value.
