Patent number: 10105501Abstract: Particular aspects provide novel atomizers for generating particles over a broad range of MMAD size distributions, the eliminating the requirement for an impaction baffle in generating the desired particle sizes. In particular aspects, the atomization means communicates with a remote particle filter member configured and positioned to provide for particle size filtering. In additional aspects, the atomization means communicates with a particle dispersion chamber suitable to impart a desired particle flow pattern to particles within and exiting the dispersion chamber. In further aspects, the atomization means communicates with a nasal, ocular, oral or ‘vicinity’ adapter. The novel devices provide for targeted (e.g., nasal, ocular, oral, local vicinity), systemic, and/or topical delivery of an atomized liquid (e.g., via the nasal cavity, olfactory region, and mouth). Further exemplary aspects relate to aerosolization and delivery of perfume, fragrance, essential oil or cosmeceutical agents and the like.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2014Date of Patent: October 23, 2018Assignee: Kurve Technology, INC.Inventors: Marc Giroux, William A.

Patent number: 8001963Abstract: Particular aspects provide a novel integrated nebulizer and particle dispersion chamber (12), and novel methods of using same. Preferably, the particle dispersion chamber (12) provides for delivery of a vortical flow of nebulized particles to the nostrils. The inventive integrated nebulizer, delivery methods and breathing techniques allow for delivering medicament into the deep nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses of a user. Significantly, the inventive devices and methods allow for systemic and topical delivery of medicaments via the membranes of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Additional preferred embodiments provide complementary cartridge docking system that allows for user-specific nebulized drug delivery.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2004Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Kurve Technology, Inc.Inventor: Marc Giroux

Publication number: 20070131230Abstract: A novel nasal adapter is provided that conforms to, and seals with the base (underside) of a nose. Upward pressure exerted against the inventive nasal adapter compressibly conforms an adapter lip to seal with the underside of the nose. The nasal adapter provides for the comfortable, discreet, and effective transmission of deliverable flow (e.g., fluid, gas, airborne particles and medicament, etc.) to the nasal chambers with minimal leakage. In preferred embodiments, the nasal adapter is formed of a single molded piece made of flexible material and can be made in various sizes to adaptably conform to a broad range of nose sizes, and conformations. Particularly preferred embodiments comprise dual delivery channels with dual outflow apertures that are in communication with at least one lip that is proportioned and disposed to provide for separate delivery channels to each nostril.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 7, 2004Publication date: June 14, 2007Applicant: Kurve Technology, Inc.Inventor: Marc Giroux
