Thesis (M. Eng.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, 2003. === Includes bibliographical references (leaf 34). === Microchips for constant release are not a new concept, but a controlled release chip, which does pulsatile release at variable time intervals, is clearly more efficient and useful. The process was completely understood about the theory of operation, the manufacturing procedure and the robustness of the controlled release microchip. The complete application analysis has been done along with the intellectual property study. The study involved finding out the industry opinion of the device and the usefulness of the device and all the people who might have intellectual property rights in the field. As a result numerous applications of the device have been found out along with the important parameters the device should be concentrating on have been suggested. === by Lalita Varma V.
