摘要:
A method to measure compliance with a pharmaceutical regimen, by the steps of : (a) ingesting a dose of a medication (10) into the gastrointestinal tract of a person, the dose of medication (10) comprising a drug formulation (13) and a permanent magnet (14); (b) as a result of the ingestion of step (a), detecting passage of the permanent magnet (14) past at least two magnetic field sensors (20) positioned apart from each other and adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract; and (c) measuring compliance with the pharmaceutical regimen by way of the detection of step (b). And, apparatus useful to measure compliance with a pharmaceutical regimen by detecting ingestion of a dose of medication (10) comprising a drug formulation (13) and a permanent magnet (14), the apparatus including at least two magnetic field sensors (20) positioned apart from each other on a necklace (22), each magnetic field sensor (20) being in electronic communication with a microprocessor for receiving signals from the magnetic field sensors (20) to determine the passage of a permanent magnet (14) between the magnetic field sensors (20).
摘要:
Disclosed is a process for making a two or more component foam composite obtained by adhesion of a polyurethane foam onto a substrate comprising the steps of frothing an aqueous polyurethane formulation; applying the froth to a substrate and drying the froth into a foam wherein the foam has a dry density of 35 kg/m3 to 160 kg/m3 (2.2-10 Ibs/cft). The process allows the production of foam backed textiles without the need for a flame lamination step or the need for an adhesive layer between the textile and the foam layer and is optionally optimized for superior handling properties for covering polyurethane molded foam cushions.
摘要:
A tablet, pill or capsule containing a material which produces sound waves when the tablet, pill or capsule is exposed to the gastrointestinal system. A two step method for oral drug compliance monitoring. The first step is to ingest a tablet, pill or capsule containing a material which produces sound waves when the tablet, pill or capsule is exposed to the gastrointestinal system of a person. The second step is to detect the sound waves produced when the tablet, pill or capsule is exposed to the gastrointestinal system to confirm that the person has ingested the tablet, pill or capsule.
摘要:
The present invention is a polyurethane pressure sensitive adhesive composition which is useful in preparing articles having a layer of a pressure sensitive adhesive. The pressure sensitive adhesive of the present invention can be washed with water, or optionally a detergent solution, and can then recover at least 60 percent of its original adhesion after is is dried.
