Abstract: A nasal droplet delivery device for delivering a stream of fluid droplets to nasal passageways and sinus cavities includes an ejector mechanism with an oscillation actuator that vibrates an aperture plate with a plurality of openings to generate an ejected stream of droplets from fluid with one or more active agents. The ejector mechanism does not elevate in-situ temperatures or forces that decompose or denature the one or more active agents in the fluid.

Abstract: An electronically actuated droplet delivery device includes a housing with an airflow exit at a mouthpiece and an airflow entrance in fluid communication with the airflow exit via an airflow channel. An aperture plate coupled to an electronic actuator energized by a power source produces a droplet plume from a fluid reservoir in fluid communication with the aperture plate. A change of airflow trajectory in the airflow channel and/or a fan provides inertial filtering and removal of droplets in the plume that have a mass mean aerodynamic diameter greater than 5 ?m.

Abstract: Technology that permits two computing systems to communicate with each other with high confidence that a particular entity is present at the other computing system. As an example, when a first computing system communicates with a second computing system, the first computing system may regularly verify that a particular entity is present at the second computing system. The first computing system is actually in control of a proof capture component on the second computing system. The first computing system causes the second computing system to automatically generate proof of presence, the proof evidencing that the particular entity is present at the second computing system. The first computing system also causes the second computing system to include the generated presence proof when communicating from the second computing system to the first computing system.
