| 20110263961 | Antenna for Investigating Structure of Human or Animal - A system for investigating the internal structure of a human or animal body. The system comprises one or more antennas for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic energy into or from the body, each antenna comprising a slot formed in a conductive element, the slot having an external boundary defined by a substantially closed internal edge of the conductive element. A receiver is configured to detect the effect of the body on the passage of the electromagnetic energy by recording one or more signals. A processor is configured to process the signal(s) in order to generate an output indicative of the internal structure of the body. The antenna slot is a continuous slot with no internal boundary, the boundary of the slot being completely defined by the internal edge of the conductive element. Each antenna may further comprise two or more conductive feed lines, each feed line coupling energy to and/or from a respective part of the slot. | 10-27-2011 |

| 20110030683 | INHALER - An inhaler is disclosed. It comprises a housing to receive a strip having a plurality of blisters, each blister having a breachable lid and containing a dose of medicament for inhalation by a user, an indexing wheel mounted in the housing rotatable to drive a strip to sequentially move blisters into alignment with a blister piercing member, a control element pivotally mounted to the housing and a drive mechanism configured to couple the control element to the indexing wheel during part of the rotation of the control element by a user so that the indexing wheel rotates together with the control element. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110048420 | INHALER - An inhaler is disclosed. It comprises a housing to receive a strip having a surface and a plurality of blister pockets depending from said surface. Each blister pocket contains a dose of medicament for inhalation by a user. The inhaler has a blister strip drive mechanism including a blister strip drive member shaped to contact the strip along a line defined by the crease between a blister pocket and said surface, to drive said strip. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110056494 | Blister Strip Coil Forming - A method of coiling a strip of blisters for insertion into an inhalation device is disclosed. The method includes the steps of taking a preformed strip of blisters in which each blister contains a dose of medicament for inhalation by a user, manipulating the strip to impart a continuous curvature or a series of discrete creases to the strip; that allow the strip to form into a coiled shape. A strip which has been coiled according to the method is also disclosed, as is an inhalation device incorporating means for coiling a strip of blisters according to the invention. | 03-10-2011 |

| 20110094510 | INHALER - An inhaler comprising a housing to receive a strip having a plurality of blisters, each blister having a puncturable lid and containing a dose of medicament for inhalation by a user, a mouthpiece through which a dose of medicament is inhaled by a user, a cap to cover the mouthpiece and, a blister piercing element to pierce the lid of a blister is disclosed. The cap is rotatable to drive the strip to sequentially move each blister into alignment with the blister piercing element and an actuator is operable in response to rotation of the cap to cause the blister piercing element to puncture the lid of an aligned blister such that, when a user inhales through the mouthpiece, an airflow through the blister is generated to entrain the dose contained therein and carry it out of the blister and via the mouthpiece into the user's airway. | 04-28-2011 |

| 20090007908 | Inhaler - An inhaler is disclosed. It comprises a housing to receive an elongate strip of blisters each containing a dose of medicament and being sequentially movable into alignment with means for breaching a blister to enable a user to inhale said dose contained therein. The device comprises a spiral wound element within the housing that receives and coils said strip of blisters that have been breached. | 01-08-2009 |

| 20080262655 | Method of Controlling Operation of a Processing System - In a method of controlling operation of a processing system, a host computer, a process tool and a component of an evacuation system, for example an abatement tool, are connected to a system bus. The abatement tool monitors signals transmitted on the system bus between the host computer and the process tool, and signals received directly from the process tool. The abatement tool uses information contained within the monitored signals to generate a signal for the process tool regarding an operating characteristic of the abatement tool. This signal is transmitted either directly or over the system bus to the process tool, which uses the generated signal to control an operating state of the process tool. | 10-23-2008 |
