    Abstract: A digital processor of a nebulizer controller controls and monitors drive current (I) applied to an aperture plate. The drive current is detected as a series of discrete values at each of multiple measuring points, each having a particular drive frequency The processor in real time calculates a slope or rate of change of drive current with frequency and additionally determines a minimum value for drive current leading up to the peak value. The processor uses both the value of the minimum drive current during the scan and also the maximum slope value to achieve reliable prediction of end of dose, when the aperture plate becomes dry.

    Abstract: A nebulizer (1) comprises a controller (2) linked at its output to a vibrating mesh nebulizer head (3), and at its input to a USB cable 5 and plug (4) for connection to a host system. The link between the plug (4) and the controller (2) is a USB cable (5) with power and data channels. The controller (2) comprises a boost circuit (10), a micro-controller (11), and a drive circuit (12). The latter provides power and control signals via a cable (6) and plug (7) to the head (3). These signals provide power and control for a vibrating membrane receiving a liquid to be aerosolised from a feed container. The controller (2) has a housing (25) with LED status lamps (30), and an ON/OFF button (32). Communication can take place between the controller (2) and the USB power source (4), in compliance with the USB protocol. This allows the controller (2) to be controlled via a host, either locally or remotely. The controller may be a slave device, with the dosing regime determined by the host. This allows comprehensive control and treatment monitoring for a wide variety of situations such as in the home or in hospitals.
