Abstract: Designs, strategies and methods for forming tube shaped batteries are described. In some examples, hermetic seals may be used to seal battery chemistry within the tube-shaped batteries. This may improve biocompatibility of energization elements. In some examples, the tube form biocompatible energization elements may be used in a biomedical device. In some further examples, the tube form biocompatible energization elements may be used in a contact lens.

Abstract: Designs, strategies and methods for forming clamshell shaped batteries are described. In some examples, hermetic seals may be used to seal battery chemistry within the clamshell-shaped batteries. This may improve biocompatibility of energization elements. In some examples, the clamshell form biocompatible energization elements may be used in a biomedical device. In some further examples, the clamshell form biocompatible energization elements may be used in a contact lens.

Abstract: An inline vaporizer disposed in a carrier gas line vaporizes a fluid and adds such vaporized fluid to a carrier gas that flows within the carrier gas line. The vaporizer includes a reservoir or wick that transfers a fluid to a vaporizing element that is adjacent to the reservoir or wick. The vaporizer releases a vapor into the carrier gas line so that the carrier gas flows past the vaporizer to form a vapor and carrier gas mixture.

Abstract: A multi-use, hand held, single patient oscillatory positive expiratory pressure respiratory therapy device which is easily assembled and disassembled for cleaning, and which is not position dependent during therapy, but operable through a wide range of device orientation.

Abstract: A mouthpiece which is attachable to nebulizer is configured to enhance the flow of gas carrier through an aerosolization portion of the nebulizer. The mouthpiece has a hollow body attached to a drug delivery conduit. The drug delivery conduit has a drug delivery port in one end. The interior of the hollow body is configured to efficiently direct gas carrier flow into the aerosolization chamber of the nebulizer to allow better mixing of the aerosolized substance and the gas carrier before the gas carrier exits the nebulizer. A cap may be removable and replaceable from a hollow body to allow use of the nebulizer in both a breath enhanced setting and a ventilator setting. Further, a cap may be configured to reduce or eliminated spillage from the mouth piece.

Abstract: A mouthpiece which is attachable to nebulizer is configured to enhance the flow of air through an aerosolization portion of the nebulizer. The mouthpiece has a hollow body attached to a drug delivery conduit. The drug delivery conduit has a drug delivery port in one end. The interior of the hollow body is configured to efficiently direct airflow into the aerosolization chamber of the nebulizer to allow better mixing of the aerosolized substance and the air before the air exits the nebulizer. The mouthpiece is also configured for ease of use as well as being configured to attach to a variety of debulization chambers, and may include a vent having one or more diaphragms to direct airflow along center flow paths.
