Abstract: Exemplary dry powder inhaler devices may include a housing body having a medicine capsule recess therein, a pair of air inlets each fluidically connecting to the recess, and an outlet body coupled to the housing body. Each inlet may have a width no greater than 1.17 mm. The outlet body may have a channel fluidically connecting the recess to an opening and configured to allow a user to draw air through the opening, thereby allowing an airstream to be drawn through the air inlets, into the housing body recess where it causes the capsule to spin and eject its contents into the airstream, and through the outlet body channel and opening to deliver the substance into the user's lungs. Dry powder respirable drug blend formulations, methods of manufacturing the formulations and drug/device combinations are also provided.

Abstract: An aerosol generator for an aerosol dispenser is presented where, the aerosol generator has a housing having an inlet part comprising a liquid inlet configured to guide a liquid jet (L) into the housing and an air inlet configured to guide an air flow into the housing. The housing further having an outlet part having an aerosol outlet configured to guide an aerosol (C) of liquid mixed with air out of the housing. The air inlet is configured such that at least part of the air flow entering the housing through the air inlet is obstructed at a distance from the liquid jet (L) entering the housing through the liquid inlet, thereby creating a source of turbulence in the housing to interact with droplets of the liquid jet (L) to prevent coalescence of the droplets.

Abstract: A first processing unit, such as a CPU, is configured to encode information that represents values of pixels in a block of an image in a lightfield dataset at a first bit rate that is selected from a plurality of bit rates and generate a block descriptor that includes information indicating locations of the encoded information for each pixel. A memory is configured to store the block descriptor and the encoded information in a format that is accessible by a second processing unit, such as a GPU, on a pixel-by-pixel basis. The second processing unit is configured to access, on the pixel-by-pixel basis, the encoded information representative of a value of a pixel in the block, decode the encoded information, and render the value of the pixel for presentation on a display.
