摘要:
An applicator used to apply microneedle arrays to a mammal. In particular, an application device for applying a microneedle device to a skin surface comprising a flexible sheet having a raised central area attached to the microneedle device and a supporting member at or near the periphery of the flexible sheet, wherein the flexible sheet is configured such that it will undergo a stepwise motion in the direction orthogonal to the major plane of the sheet.

A method of coating a microneedle array comprising: providing a microneedle array having a substrate and at least one needle; providing a removable masking layer on the microneedle array such that the substrate is at least partially covered by the masking layer and the at least one needle remains at least partially exposed; and applying a coating material to at least a portion of the exposed portion of the microneedle array.

A coin validator is provided in the region of its entrance hopper with a flap which is caused to pivot against the action of a spring when a coin is inserted in the hopper. In the case of fraudulent use of the coin validator wherein a thread is attached to a coin, the movement of the flap into the closed position following passage of the coin causes a tension to be applied in the trailing thread, and the thread under tension is then sensed by a lever mechanism. Actuation of the lever mechanism by the tensioned thread inhibits validation of the attached coin, e.g. by causing any credit added by the passage of the coin past a testing station to be debited before returning the coin to the user.

A coin testing apparatus subjects a coin inserted into a coin entry (1) and rolling down an inclined track (2) to testing at a testing station (3) comprising sensors (4,5,6) which may for example be inductive sensors. If a coin is found to be acceptable an accept signal is generated and this causes gate mechanism (8) to open to permit the coin to access accept path (9), the gate mechanism (8) being normally closed so that unacceptable coins can only access a reject path (10). A post-gate detector (11) in the accept path (9) senses the passage of an accepted coin and serves to close the gate mechanism (8) and also to determine allocation of a customer credit. A pre-gate detector (12) upstream of the gate mechanism (8) has its output logically processed with the accept signal produced when an acceptable coin is tested and/or with the output of the post-gate detector (11).

Aqueous formulations that include at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient; and at least one excipient, wherein the aqueous formulation has a viscosity of from 500 to 30,000 centipoise when measured at a shear rate of 100 s−1 and a temperature of 25° C.; a surface tension that is not greater than 60 dynes/cm when measured under ambient conditions; or a contact angle on a medical grade polymeric material of 50° or greater when measured under ambient conditions. Methods of coating and coated microneedle arrays using the aqueous formulations are also disclosed herein.
摘要:
A medicinal aerosol steroid solution formulation product with enhanced chemical stability. The steroid is a 20-ketosteroid having an OH group at the C-17 or C-21 position and the aerosol container has a non-metal interior surface which has been found to reduce chemical degradation of such steroids.

Mobile device, method for operating the same, and associated computer-readable instructions on a non-transitory medium for obtaining inconspicuous user input on a mobile device. The mobile device automatically detects whether an accessory port is engaged with an accessory, such as a headset, for example. In response to at least one change in an indication of the detection, the device automatically performs a sequence of operations. According to one particular embodiment, alarm sequence of operations can include a transmission of an alarm notification to a predefined recipient, for example.
