Abstract: The use of an automated, controllable, and affixable pulsatile for treating diseases, having an automated controller for controlling the delivery of drug to a patient, an agent delivery reservoir containing an agent operatively connected to the automated controller, a reservoir controller operatively connected to the automated controller and the reservoir for controlling the delivery of agent to a patient, and a feedback control operatively connected to the automated controller for providing feedback with regard to the drug requirements of the patient for use in treating diseases.

Abstract: An automated, controllable, and affixable pulsatile agent delivery system having an automated controller for controlling the delivery of drug to a patient, an agent delivery reservoir containing an agent operatively connected to the automated controller, a reservoir controller operatively connected to the automated controller and the reservoir for controlling the delivery of agent to a patient, and a feedback control operatively connected to the automated controller for providing feedback with regard to the drug requirements of the patient. A method of delivering an agent to a patient in need of the same by administering the above agent delivery system to a patient, determining an amount of agent needed for the patient, and affecting administration of the agent to the patient via the agent delivery system.

Abstract: A micro-device for testing for agents in a fluid including at least one micro-chamber and a sensor for sensing agents in the fluid, the sensor is located within the micro-chamber. A micro-device for testing for agents in a fluid including a micro-chamber and a micro-fluidic system, the micro-fluidic system is used for pumping the fluid into the micro-chamber. A micro-device for testing for agents in a fluid including a miniature micro-chamber for testing for agents in a small amount of fluid.

Abstract: An insulation displacement connector device includes a base body, with a cutting clamp mounted on the base body and a closing element which may be displaced relative to the base body. The base body including an operating volume into which an operating tool may be introduced. The operating tool may be pivoted in a pivoting direction within the operating volume. The closing element may thus be moved between an open and a closed position. The closing element defines the operating volume on one side viewed from the pivoting direction.
