ABSTRACT:
Systems for flowably dispensing dry powders include means for generating a first non-linear vibration input signal, the first non-linear input signal comprising a carrier frequency modulated by a plurality of different selected frequencies that correspond to a first dry powder formulation whereby first meted quantities of the first dry powder are serially dispensed to a receiving member. Related devices and computer program products for dispensing dry powders are also described.
