## Abstract

A medical delivery device includes a first compartment configured to hold at least a portion of an activator that activates one or more molecular nanomachines. The first compartment includes a first wall that includes a first ferrous material, where the first wall is configured to disintegrate in response to first electromagnetic radiation received by the first ferrous material such that the activator activates the one or more molecular nanomachines. The device includes a second compartment configured to hold the one or more molecular nanomachines, wherein the second compartment includes a second wall that includes a second ferrous material, and wherein the second wall is configured to disintegrate and release the one or more molecular nanomachines into a patient in response to second electromagnetic radiation received by the second ferrous material.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A medical delivery device comprising:
a first compartment comprising at least a portion of an activator that activates one or more molecular nanomachines, wherein the first compartment includes a first wall that includes a first ferrous material, and wherein the first wall is configured to disintegrate in response to first electromagnetic radiation received by the first ferrous material such that the activator activates the one or more molecular nanomachines; and
a second compartment comprising the one or more molecular nanomachines, wherein the second compartment includes a second wall dividing the first compartment and the second compartment, the second wall comprising a second ferrous material, and wherein the second wall is configured to disintegrate and release one or more activated molecular nanomachines into a patient in response to second electromagnetic radiation received by the second ferrous material.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, further comprising:
an electromagnetic radiation source; and
a controller in communication with the electromagnetic radiation source, wherein the controller is configured to emit the first electromagnetic radiation to cause the activator to activate the one or more molecular nanomachines at a first time and to emit the second electromagnetic radiation to cause release of the one or more activated molecular nanomachines at a second time that is after the first time.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, further comprising a medicine in the second compartment, wherein the one or more activated molecular nanomachines are configured to deliver the medicine to a target area in the patient.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, wherein the activator comprises a first chemical and a second chemical, wherein the first chemical is positioned in the first compartment.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The medical delivery device of claim 4, further comprising a third compartment adjacent to the first compartment, wherein the third compartment holds the second chemical, and wherein the third compartment includes a third wall that includes a third ferrous material.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The medical delivery device of claim 5, wherein the third wall is configured to disintegrate in response to third electromagnetic radiation such that the first chemical mixes with the second chemical to generate light that activates the one or more molecular nanomachines.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, wherein the first wall is at least a portion of a capsule, the capsule containing the activator and the one or more molecular nanomachines.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, wherein the first wall is formed from a biocompatible plastic that includes the first ferrous material.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, wherein the first ferrous material comprises a first type of ferrous material and the second ferrous material comprises a second type of ferrous material that differs from the first type of ferrous material.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, wherein the first ferrous material comprises a first amount of ferrous material and the second ferrous material comprises a second amount of the ferrous material that differs from the first amount.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, wherein the activator comprises a chemical that reacts with the one or more molecular nanomachines to activate the one or more molecular nanomachines.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, further comprising one or more magnets positioned external to the patient, wherein the one or more magnets are used to position the first compartment and the second compartment of the medical delivery device within the patient.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, wherein the first electromagnetic radiation has a first intensity and the second electromagnetic radiation has a second intensity that is greater than the first intensity.

### Claim 14 (depends on 1)

The medical delivery device of claim 1, wherein the first compartment also includes one or more walls that do not include the first ferrous material.
