Abstract:
A nebulizer has an aperture plate, a mounting, an actuator, and an aperture plate drive circuit ( 2 - 4 ). A controller measures an electrical drive parameter at each of a plurality of measuring points, each measuring point having a drive frequency; and based on the values of the parameter at the measuring points makes a determination of optimum drive frequency and also an end-of-dose prediction. The controller performs a short scan at regular sub-second intervals at which drive current is measured at two measuring points with different drive frequencies. According to drive parameter measurements at these points the controller determines if a full scan sweeping across a larger number of measuring points should be performed. The full scan provides the optimum drive frequency for the device and also an end of dose indication.

Claim (Index 17):
A method as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the short scan has fewer than five measuring points (CPt # 1 . CPt # 2 ).
