A dry powder inhaler has a dispersion chamber containing beads. A dose of dry powder is released into the chamber, or into an inlet tangentially joining into the chamber. As the patient inhales on a nosepiece or mouthpiece, air moves circularly through the dispersion chamber to drive the beads. The beads roll, bounce, and collide repeatedly with the drug particles on the chamber surfaces or on the beads. The smaller active drug particles are separated from the larger carrier particles and from each other, and a powder aerosol is created and inhaled by the patient. The beads are preferably lightweight, so that they can be rapidly accelerated and moved, even with nominal inspiration. The flow resistance of the inhaler is also reduced via the beads, allowing greater air flow and powder dispersion, without any increased effort by the patient.

A composite structure () having a bond enhancement member () extending across a bond joint () between a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material () and a ceramic insulation material (), and a method of fabricating such a structure. The bond enhancement member may extend completely through the CMC material to be partially embedded in a core material () bonded to the CMC material on an opposed side from the insulation material. A mold () formed of a fugitive material having particles () of a bond enhancement material may be used to form the CMC material. A two-piece mold () may be used to drive a bond enhancement member partially into the CMC material. A compressible material () containing the bond enhancement member may be compressed between a hard tool () and the CMC material to drive a bond enhancement member partially into the CMC material. A surface () of a ceramic insulation material () having a bond enhancement member () extending therefrom may be used as a mold for laying up a CMC material.

A system for performing molecular biological diagnosis, analysis and multistep and multiplex reactions utilizes a selfaddressable, selfassembling microelectronic system for actively carrying out controlled reactions in microscopic formats. Preferably, a fluidic system flow a sample across an active area of the biochip, increasing diagnostic efficiency. Preferably, the fluidic system includes aflow cell having a window. Pulsed activation of the electrodes of the biochip are advantageously employed with the fluidic system, permitting more complete sampling of the materials within the biological sample. An improved detection system utilizes a preferably coaxially oriented excitation fiber, such as a fiber optic, disposed within a light guide, such as a liquid light guide. In this way, small geometry systems may be fluorescently imaged. A highly automated DNA diagnostic system results.

A gun barrel for firing a projectile and particularly a rail gun barrel that comprises a pair of spaced apart rails and a pair of spaced apart insulators, which separate the rails, and together define a composite bore, all disposed centrally within an outer rigid tube. A prestressed filament-wound polymeric resin shell immediately surrounds and applies compressive stress to this composite, bore-defining structure. A pressure medium, positioned between the shell and the interior surface of the outer tube, is operative to apply compressive stress to the shell at least at locations generally radially outward of the rails. The compressive stresses applied by the combination of the prestressed shell and the pressure medium are additive and effectively preload the rails and the composite bore structure to resist overall forces encountered during projectile firing which, in a rail gun, include asymmetric loads upon the rails from electromagnetic repulsion forces and also axisymmetric bursting forces.

A system for performing molecular biological diagnosis, analysis and multistep and multiplex reactions utilizes a selfaddressable, selfassembling microelectronic system for actively carrying out controlled reactions in microscopic formats. The device includes a power supply and waveform generator adapted to supply a DC bias and superimposed AC signal to the system through an interface to the array of microlocations.

A turbine powered inhaler has a propeller mounted on a turbine shaft within an aerosolizing chamber. An air pathway extends from an inlet, through the turbine to the aerosolizing chamber, and out through a mouth piece. Upon inhalation by a patient, air flowing through the air path rapidly spins up the turbine which directly drives the propeller within the aerosolizing chamber. Air and drug particles are mixed and de-agglomerated in the aerosolizing chamber via the spinning propeller, without the need for a motor and batteries.

A dry powder inhaler has a slider for incrementally advancing a blister disk, to provide successive doses of a dry powder pharmaceutical. A blister disk is rotatably supported on a spindle on a deck plate of the inhaler. A powder port, an advancing slot, and a lifter slot extend through the deck plate. A slider is attached to the deck plate and movable between open and closed positions. As the slider is opened, a litter moves up on a ramp on the slider to shear open a blister, so that the blister contents can be mixed with air and inhaled. As the slider is moved back to the closed position, the lifter is withdrawn and an advancing finger turns the disk to bring the next blister into position for opening to provide the next dose to the patient.
