Title: Biological sensors
Inventor: FINLAN MARTIN FRANCIS
IPC: G01N21/55
Filed: 1989-01-26
Abstract: A biological sensor which utilises the phenomenon of surface plasmon resonance to detect the refractive index change which occurs when two components - for example antibody and corresponding antigen - react with one another. Surface plasmon resonance takes place at the sloping exit surface of an optical waveguide such as a fibre optic 23. The input end of fibre optic 12 is connected to a light source 12. A layer 25 of metal is applied to the sloping exit surface so as to cause total internal reflection of the light proceeding down the fibre optic. Reflected light is detected by a detector 13. A sensitive, for example antibody, layer 26 is applied to the metal layer. Sample (not shown) reacts with layer 26 in such a way that the refractive index changes. Provided conditions are correct, this variation in refractive index can be monitored in detector 13 by virtue of the surface plasmon resonance which occurs in the area of total internal reflection.

Title: Inhalation therapy decongestant with foraminous carrier
Inventor: GOON DAVID
IPC: A61K9/70
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: A vaporizable decongestant is supported and stabilized on a flexible foraminous carrier composed typically of open-cell plastic foam, cloth or other fibrous material such as nonwoven fabric. The term "foraminous" herein is intended to refer to a substance or medium containing minute openings or perforated by many minute apertures. The decongestant is placed on the surfaces within the interstices and minute apertures or on fibers from which the foraminous carrier is formed. Vaporization of the inhalable decongestant is facilitated by providing the potential for greatly increasing its exposed surface area. Distributing the decongestant composition over the large, expanded surface within the foraminous carrier is beneficial in enhancing both the volatilization and evaporation of the decongestant agent. It also prolongs the useful life of the product. Once vaporized, the aromatic decongestant is available for natural inhalation through the nose or mouth to help relieve one or more of the symptoms of cough, colds, nasal or chest congestion and related symptoms. The foraminous carrier is preferably provided in the form of a patch or sheet that is bonded to the skin to serve as a supporting base for the active decongestant agent. The patch defining the carrier is typically adhesively bonded to the upper part of the body, <i>e.g.</i> on the face, neck or chest, in a location where the decongestant is liberated into the air and can be inhaled through the mouth or nose.
