Estimating the term…
A miniature valve for filling the reservoir of an apparatus for the transdermal administration of a medicine including a) a substrate, b) a fuel charge arranged on the substrate opposite the passage to be opened through it, and c) an electric resistor placed in contact with the fuel charge so that the supply of this resistor with a predetermined electric energy ensures the combustion of the charge and the opening of the passage by local rupture of the substrate under the pressure of the fuel gases of the charge. The device is useful for filling a medicine reservoir for the transdermal administration medicine aided by inophoresis.
Miniature valve comprising a) a substrate, b) a charge of a combustible material disposed on top of the substrate facing a passage to be opened through the substrate, c) an electrical resistance in contact with the combustible charge so that supplying a predetermined electrical energy to this resistance assures the combustion of the charge and the opening of the passage by localised rupture of said substrate due to the pressure of the gases of combustion of the charges.
