  • Patent number: 9962397
    Abstract: The intranasal medication delivery device and method of use thereof includes an elongated malleable member arcuately curved or pre-formed in manner complimentary to the anterior wall of a nasal cavity. One particular embodiment provides the elongated and arcuate member to deliver medication through a lumen such that the medication is deposited in a semi-solid state adjacent the anterior aspect of the nasal cavity lateral wall and to the anterior end of the superior, middle, and inferior turbinate. Another particular embodiment provides the elongated and arcuate member to deliver medication as a suppository to a location similar to that of the previous embodiment. The method of delivering the medicine provides depositing the medicine adjacent the anterior end of one of the superior turbinate, middle turbinate, and inferior turbinate. An exemplary medication can be any one of a corticosteroid, an anti-histamine, an immune active mediator, an IgE binding medication, or a decongestant.

  • Patent number: 4389791
    Abstract: A telescopic sight provides means for determining the range of a target of known size and for compensating for predetermined bullet drop over the target range. Reticles are fixed in both the front and rear focal planes of the sight, and first screw means, calibrated to indicate range, are provided for controllably rotating the erector tube to displace the image of the front reticle, formed in the rear focal plane, so as to bracket the target between the rear reticle cross-hairs and the image of the front reticle. Second screw means, also operable to rotate the erector tube, displace the target image so as to compensate for bullet drop.
