A process for sterilizing a water-insoluble steroid composition comprising heat sterilizing the steroid in the presence of phosphate is disclosed herein. Compositions related thereto are also disclosed.
摘要:
A composite product comprising a substrate layer and one or more functional layers applied thereto. The slurry is applied to the substrate layer to form a functional layer and the functional layer dewatered through the substrate layer. The functional layers can be repeated to build up a laminated composite product. Functional additives may be included in each layer to provide desired properties to that layer and indeed to the subsequent composite product.

A conversion device for use in an imaging system is provided. The conversion device includes a first perforated plate portion forming a plurality of collimator channels separated by a plurality of thin collimator walls. A second perforated plate portion forming a plurality of scintillator channels separated by a plurality of thin scintillator walls is attached to the first perforated plate portion. A reflective coating is applied to the inside scintillator surface of the plurality of thin scintillator walls. A scintillator material is filled into the plurality of scintillator channels.
摘要:
A method for forming a laminated sheet material from a slurry having a liquid component. The method comprising the steps of: applying the slurry to a substrate in successive layers to form a wet sheet of predetermined thickness; applying at least one of the layers by spattering; removing the wet sheet from the substrate; and drying or curing the wet sheet so as to remove at least a substantial proportion of the liquid component and thereby forming the sheet material.
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for characterizing composite materials for manufacturing quality assurance (QA), periodic inspection during the useful life, or for forensic analysis/material testing. System are provided that relate eddy-current sensor responses to the fiber layup of a composite structure, the presence of impact damage on a composite structure with or without a metal liner, volumetric stress within the composite, fiber tow density, and other NDE inspection requirements. Also provided are systems that determine electromagnetic material properties and material dimensions of composite materials from capacitive sensor inspection measurements. These properties are related to the presence of buried defects in non-conductive composite materials, moisture ingress, aging of the material due to service or environmental/thermal exposure, or changes in manufacturing quality.
摘要:
Triamcinolone compositions, and methods of using such compositions, useful for injection into the vitreous of human eyes or into a joint are provided. Such compositions can include triamcinolone particles present in a therapeutically effective amount, a viscosity inducing component, and an aqueous carrier component. The compositions have viscosities of at least about 10 cps or about 100 cps at a shear rate of 0.1/second. In a preferred embodiment, the viscosity is in the range of from about 80,000 cps to about 300,000 cps. In a most preferred embodiment, the viscosity is in the range of from about 140,000 cps to about 280,000 cps t a shear rate of 0.1/second at 25° C. The compositions advantageously suspend the triamcinolone particles for prolonged periods of time.
摘要:
Compositions and methods useful for at least assisting in visualizing vitreous bodies of eyes of humans or animals are provided. Such compositions include a contrast component and a carrier component and are substantially free of any therapeutic agent effective to have pharmacological activity in an eye in which the composition is placed. Methods of using such compositions as visualization devices are also provided.
摘要:
A sintered, annealed scintillator composition, which, prior to annealing, has a formula of A3B2C3O12, where A is at least one member of the group consisting of Tb, Ce, and Lu, or combinations thereof, B is an octahedral site (Al), and C is a tetrahedral site (also Al).
