Abstract:
Improved taste masking of pharmaceutical compositions of unpleasant-tasting drugs and cyclodextrin is achieved by forming a mixture of drug and cyclodextrin wherein the drug's dissolution rate has been retarded, or the the cyclodextrin's dissolution rate has been enhanced, or by both.
Abstract:
A flexible reclosable container with a header strip, fastener elements, and a slider. The header strip preferably extends from the mouth of the bag, and includes a line of weakness for easy tear off of the bag. The slider and profiles are arranged such that the mouth of the bag is substantially open.
Abstract:
A method for measuring at least one characteristic parameter of an alternating current in a conductor, the method including the steps of measuring the magnetic field around the conductor at a point along the conductor; deriving an analogue voltage signal representative of the measured magnetic field; amplifying the analogue voltage signal; converting the amplified voltage signal into a digital voltage signal; measuring the digital voltage signal and, when the amplitude of digital voltage signal reaches a predetermined value, adjusting a gain setting of the amplification; and generating an output signal representative of the parameter of the alternating current based on the amplified voltage signal and the gain setting.
Abstract:
A method of detecting for a fault on one of a plurality of adjacent, alternating current carrying conductors; the method comprising the steps of detecting the waveform of a first component of a magnetic field vector representative of the magnetic field around the plurality of conductors at a location along the conductors; detecting the waveform of a second component of the magnetic field vector; monitoring, at the location, the two waveforms for any change in the waveforms; and detecting for a fault on one of the plurality of the conductors as indicated by a change in either one or both of the waveforms.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for making polymer tapes utilizing metallocene catalysts. An isotactic propylene polymer is prepared by polymerizing propylene in the presence of an isospecific metallocene catalyst. The resulting polypropylene is heated, extruded and withdrawn as a sheet. The sheet is then slit longitudinally into tape segments and drawn in the longitudinal direction to a draw ratio of at least about 4.5:1 to produce an oriented tape. It has been found that these polypropylene tapes have different characteristics than those polypropylene tapes produced using Ziegler-Natta catalyst drawn at the same draw ratios.
Abstract:
N-(5,7-dimethoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidin-2-yl) arylsulfonamide compounds were prepared from 2-amino-5,7-dimethoxy[1,2,4]triazolopyrimidine and appropriately substituted benzenesulfonyl chloride and pyridinesulfonyl chloride compounds. The compounds were found to be useful as herbicides.
Abstract:
A balancing mechanism for an engine that has a rotating crankshaft and reciprocating pistons such as those engines used in automobiles, aircrafts, boats, piston-driven compressors, piston-driven slider crank mechanisms, etc. The present balancing mechanism may comprise a first balance mass non-rotatably affixed to the crankshaft and a second balance mass rotatably supported on the crankshaft. A driver assembly is affixed to crankshaft to cause the second balance mass to rotate in a direction that is opposite to the direction in which the crank shaft is rotating. The driver assembly may include auxiliary gears configured to transport rotary power to auxiliary components.
