A slip ring for the transfer of very large currents to the rotor of an electric power generator is provided with a slip contact surface in the form of a surface of revolution oblique to the axis of rotation that is a ruled surface, which is to say straight lines (known as generatrices) can be drawn on it, whether the surface be flat, as a conical surface, or curved as, for example, a hyperboloidal surface. Cooling grooves centered on straight lines are provided, as well as cooling channels beneath the surface and parallel to it, through which air passes and may thereafter be used to cool the brushes and their supports. The brushes are arranged on self-adjusting ring-shaped carriers hung on centering arms rolling on axially directed guides and urged by a spring arrangement so as to press the brushes towards the slip ring. When one ring of brushes is worn away, it is carried beyond the slip ring where it can be removed for renewal and new rings of brushes can be added, all without stopping the generator.
摘要:
An article and method for reducing somnolence in a patient receiving tizanidine therapy. Tizanidine may be administered in the form of an immediate release multiparticulate composition at or around the time food is consumed. The composition may be packaged in a container for distribution.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to compositions comprising a nanoparticulate antibiotic having improved bioavailability. Preferably, the antibiotic comprises nanoparticulate cephalosporin particles with an effective average particle size of less than about 2000 nm and are useful in the treatment of bacterial infection. The invention also relates to a controlled release composition comprising a cephalosporin or a nanoparticulate cephalosporin that in operation delivers the drug in a pulsed or bimodal manner for the treatment of bacterial infection. The nanoparticulate cephalosporin particles may be formulated as a controlled release drug delivery system whereby the particles are coated one or more times with one or more natural or synthetic hydrophilic or hydrophobic polymer coating materials or dispersed throughout a natural or synthetic hydrophilic and/or hydrophobic polymer matrix.
摘要:
The present invention relates to formulations comprising a therapeutically effective amount of pravastatin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and methods of their use. The present formulations and methods are designed to release little or no pravastatin in the stomach but release a therapeutic amount of pravastatin in the small intestine, thereby limiting systemic exposure of the body to pravastatin and maximizing hepatic-specific absorption of the drug. The formulations and methods of the present invention are particularly useful for treating and/or preventing conditions that are benefited by decreasing levels of lipids and/or cholesterol in the body.
摘要:
An oral morphine multiparticulate formulation for once-daily administration to a patient, comprising sustained release particles each having a core containing water soluble morphine and an osmotic agent, the core being coated with a rate-controlling polymer coat comprised of ammonio methacrylate copolymers in an amount sufficient to achieve therapeutically effective plasma levels of morphine over at least 24 hours in the patient.

摘要:
An article and method for increasing the extent of tizanidine absorption in a patient receiving tizanidine therapy. Tizanidine may be administered in the form of an immediate release tablet composition at or around the time food is consumed. The composition may be packaged in a container for distribution.

摘要:
The present invention relates to formulations comprising therapeutically effective amounts of at least one acid-stable, carrier-mediated transport statin, at least one poorly water-soluble, carrier-mediated transport statin, or at least one large molecular weight, carrier-mediated transport statin, such as atorvastatin and rosuvastatin, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and methods of their use. The present formulations and methods are designed to exhibit a controlled-release of a therapeutic amount of the statin in the small intestine, thereby limiting systemic exposure of the statin and maximizing liver-specific absorption of the drug. The formulations and methods of the present invention are particularly useful for treating and/or preventing conditions that are benefited by decreasing levels of lipids and/or cholesterol in the body.
