Abstract: An apparatus for use in aerosol delivery has a housing with a first rigid shell; a second rigid shell; and a deformable band coupling the first and the second rigid shells together to allow axial translation therebetween while advantageously preventing the ingress of debris or other contaminants into the housing. The housing has a cavity sized to accommodate a spray bottle therein. Pinching the rigid shells of the housing together causes operative engagement of a piston or pump of the spray bottle to dispense an aerosol, for instance to hydrate and/or deliver a physiological salt (e.g., CaCl2) to an upper respiratory tract. The housing may allow replacement of the spray bottle (e.g., sterile fill reservoir), for instance as the contents thereof are depleted. Registration features can ensure that a nozzle of the spray bottle aligns with a port in the housing.

Abstract: A vehicle modular side view mirror assembly is disclosed. The mirror base has a first section capable of attachment to a vehicle and a second section capable of attachment to a mirror head, wherein the second section is movable relative to the first section. The mirror assembly can include a mirror head having a reflective surface and a motor for moving the mirror head relative to a mirror base, the mirror head detachably connectable to the mirror base. Lidar sensors can be mounted in addition to, or in place of, the side view mirrors. Interchangeable modular heads can allow a user to customize the vehicle to have mirror heads, sensors, both, or neither. Mirror bases can move, allowing the mirrors and/or sensors to be positioned at different angles. In some configurations, the position of the sensors can be dynamically adjusted according to the speed and/or direction of the vehicle.
