  • Publication number: 20230059660
    Abstract: A method of introducing a vapor of at least one substance into an inhalation flow path of a respiratory organ is provided. The method describes providing a carrier conformable to a surface of skin; providing the carrier with at least one substance; providing a barrier coupled to a surface of the carrier, the barrier being substantially impermeable to the substances carried by the carrier; providing a polyethylene coated material disposed within or atop the barrier and configured as a clamp for a septum of a user, wherein the polyethylene coated material is heat sealed within the barrier; and engaging the carrier to the surface of skin proximate an inhalation flow path of a respiratory organ with the barrier adapted to be interposed between the carrier and the skin to prevent the one or more substances from contacting the skin; wherein the substance is volatile and/or non-volatile; wherein the carrier is impregnated with nanocapsules during production. A vehicle for introducing a vapor is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20160058657
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are disclosed for applying motion stimulations on a body using actuators. In one aspect, a device to provide mechanical stimulation to a user includes an apparel material capable of being worn by a user, a flexible material substrate configured at a portion or region of the apparel material, an actuator module attached to the flexible material substrate and structured to include an array of piezoelectric actuators to apply mechanical perturbations at a frequency to the user wearing the apparel material, and a power supply module electrically coupled to the actuator module to provide electrical power to the actuator module. The actuator module may be located within one of a pillow, seat, bed and stuffed animal, or it may be in physical connection with one of wearable apparel, bedding, cloth and blankets.
