  • Publication number: 20210290862
    Abstract: Techniques for dosage delivery based on digital dosage of an aqueous ingestible solution are disclosed. Oral spray delivery of an ingestible substance is provided to an individual, where the ingestible substance is in an aqueous solution. The ingestible substance can be cannabidiol; or can be a pharmaceutical, antibiotic, vitamin, supplement, medicinal, extract, or legal psychoactive substance; a legal tetrahydrocannabinol; an essential oil; a mineral; melatonin; or caffeine. A spray plunger depression by the individual is detected to facilitate delivery of the ingestible substance. A digital signal is activated based on the detecting the spray plunger depression. The digital signal is transmitted to a device that tracks spray delivery of the ingestible substance to the individual. The device includes a software application that tracks the spray delivery of the ingestible substance. The software application provides a reminder to the individual for a next spray delivery.

  • Publication number: 20120108996
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for controlled neuromodulation. The apparatus includes a plurality of neural sensors, wherein each of the neural sensors is electrically connected to a separate signal conditioner. Each of the signal conditioners produces a neural sensor signal, which is analyzed by a separate threshold detector to produces a neural event signal when the neural sensor signal exceeds a threshold level associated with the threshold detector. Each of the threshold detectors is connected to a wireless transceiver and the wireless transceivers transmit the neural event signals to a processor. The processor analyzes the neural event signals and determines the presence or absence of a clinical brain state. The apparatus can be used to detect and control epileptic seizures.

  • Patent number: 7263253
    Abstract: A wavelength selective switch architecture for ROADMs for switching the spectral channels of a multi-channel, multi-wavelength optical signal between input and output ports employs a biaxial MEMS port mirror array for optimal coupling efficiency and ITU grid alignment, an anamorphic beam expander for expanding input optical signals to create an elongated beam profile, a diffraction grating for spatially separating the spectral channels, an anamorphic focusing lens system, an array of biaxial elongated channel MEMS micromirrors, a built-in Optical Channel Monitor, and an electronic feedback control system. The bi-axial channel micromirrors are rotatable about one axis to switch spectral channels between ports, and are rotatable about an orthogonal axis to vary the coupling of the spectral channel to an output port and control attenuation of the spectral signal for complete blocking or for a predetermined power level.

  • Patent number: 5695104
    Abstract: A painter's accessory holder is disclosed for holding painting accessories, such as a caulking gun, sandpaper, glazing compound and a bladed tool on a base member that is attachable to a belt worn by the painter. The accessory holder includes a caulking gun bracket attached to the base member configured to accept a caulking gun, the caulking gun finger guard engaging a portion of the bracket to securely hold the caulking gun in place, while at the same time rendering it easily removable. A sandpaper bracket is attached to the base member to clamp sandpaper between the bracket and the base so as to be securely but removeably held and readily accessible to the painter. The device also may include a pouch attached to the base member to hold a glazing compound and a bladed tool bracket to hold bladed tools, such as putty knives, etc.

  • Patent number: 5366108
    Abstract: A toy water gun that can release a directed stream of water from a pressurized receptacle is disclosed. The toy water gun is connected to the pressurized receptacle by a flexible hose and a pull on the trigger releases a directed stream of water. In one embodiment, the receptacle has a one way valve attached thereto that allows pressurized water to only enter the receptacle. A flexible tube is attached to the one-way valve on one end with the flexible tubing terminating with a hose fitting on the other end attachable to a hose bib. The pressurized water is supplied by a water system such as a municipal water supply. Another embodiment uses a bladder inside a receptacle containing trapped air that is connected directly by flexible tubing to a shut off valve which is further connected by flexible tubing to a hose bib that supplies pressurized water.
