Dermisonics, Inc. Applies For U.S Patent On Power - E Cell(TM) Battery

IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Dermisonics, Inc. (DMSI.OB), a pioneer in the development of ultrasonic transdermal drug- delivery technologies, announced today that it has filed a patent application on its Power-E Cell, a breakthrough in battery technology.

The Power-E-Cell (Model No. BKR-50-31) is a flat, rechargeable battery with enhanced energy generation capacity and critical advances in power control. It was specifically designed for the U-Strip Ultrasonic Transdermal Drug Delivery system to power the ultrasonic generator circuit. However, the battery has several unique design features, that make the Power-E Cell suitable for a broad range of applications:

-- A Deadening Function -- This allows the battery to remain almost totally inert until the battery is activated by an outside appliance, giving the battery an unusually long shelf life. -- A Unique On-Off Function -- Normal batteries do not have an on/off capability, and as a result their energy continues to drain even when not in use. The Power E-Cell can be turned off, eliminating any loss of power when not in use. This provides for high power surges when the battery activates and a far greater reliability for the battery even after long storage times. -- Power -- Another key feature is its power output, which is considerable for the size of the battery. Model No. BKR-50-31A produces a power output for each cell at 4.2 VDC (nominal), 3.7 VDC minimums, while Model No. BKR-50-31B produces a power output for each cell at 7.2 VDC (nominal). The rated capacity of both designs is 2,000 MA nominal, or 2 Amps of power.

Cell Phone Test -- In an informal test conducted by the Company, this battery was able to power a cell phone for 30 days.

About Dermisonics, Inc. -- Dermisonics is an intellectual property company and advanced technology incubator that is primarily focused on the ongoing development, testing and eventual commercialization of a transdermal patch that has been designed to facilitate the efficient and needle-free delivery of drugs with large molecular structures into the bloodstream. Its breakthrough system, called the U-Strip, is based on a radical integration of microelectronics and ultrasonic science with a product-carrying patch and represents a quantum leap in non-invasive, transdermal delivery technology. Tests have shown that this system facilitates the transdermal delivery of Insulin as well as potentially at least 175 other existing drugs that at present cannot be effectively delivered through the pores of the skin using conventionally available transdermal technology due to their large molecular size. The Company has also developed other portable ultrasonic systems for applications in the medical (Antiseptic Wand) and skin care (U-Wand) fields.
