A dosage form comprises at least one active ingredient, a first portion which comprises an exterior surface and one or more cavities defining at least one interior surface having indentations and an exterior surface, and a second molded portion which is inlaid into the cavities of the first portion and has an exterior surface. The first and second portions are in contact at an interface, the second portion comprises a solidified thermoplastic material, and the second portion resides substantially conformally upon the indentations of the first portion. In another embodiment, a dosage form comprises at least one active ingredient, a core having an outer surface and a shell residing on at least a portion of the core outer surface, wherein the shell comprises a first shell portion and a second molded shell portion which is inlaid into the first shell portion. In another embodiment, a dosage form comprises at least one active ingredient, a core, and a shell having a first molded shell portion which is discontinuous, and a second molded shell portion which is continuous, such that the discontinuities of the first shell portion are due to the presence of the second molded shell portion, and the first and second shell portions are compositionally different.

A dosage form comprises an active ingredient and a confectionery composition. In one embodiment the relative standard deviation of the weight of the dosage form is less than 1%, and the dosage form has at least one face. In another embodiment, a dosage form comprising an active ingredient and a confectionery composition wherein the dosage form has at least one face, does not have a free formed surface, and has a mean polarized light transmission at the angle of maximum extinction which is not greater than the mean polarized light transmission of the dosage form at the angle of maximum transmission. The active ingredient may be a pharmaceutically active agent.

A composite dosage form comprises at least one active ingredient, a first portion comprising a first molded material, and a second portion comprising a second material which is compositionally different from the first material. The first and second portions are joined at an interface, and a surface of the first portion at the interface resides substantially conformally upon a surface of the second portion of the interface. Either the first portion, the second portion, or a combination thereof may contain at least one active ingredient. The first portion, second portion or both may also each comprise an insert which may contain at least one active ingredient. The dosage form may also comprise a third portion which is located between the first and second portions.

A fuel cell stack (10) comprises a plurality of fuel cells each with a chamber (K) for electrolyte with at least one inlet and at least one outlet, and at least one header (30) to supply electrolyte to all the cells in parallel, and means (14) to collect electrolyte that has flowed through the cells. For each cell, the electrolyte outlets (34) feed into an electrolyte flow channel arranged such that in use there is a free surface of electrolyte within the electrolyte flow channel, the electrolyte flow channel being separate from the corresponding electrolyte flow channels for other cells, but such that the free surfaces of all the electrolyte flow channels are at a common pressure. Electrolyte is maintained at a constant depth in this open flow channel by a weir (38), and then flows over the weir to trickle or drip down the outside of the stack. This ensures uniform outlet electrolyte pressure throughout the stack (10) and across the individual cells, and avoids or reduces ionic leakage currents through the electrolyte outlets.

The invention relates to a membrane-electrode assembly for a fuel cell with a proton-conducting membrane two catalyst layers adjoining both sides of the membrane, wherein the catalyst layers have an electrically conductive base material and at least one catalytic material deposited on the base material, and two gas diffusion layers adjoining the catalyst layers. The membrane and/or at least one of the catalyst layers and/or at least one of the gas diffusion layers includes at least one hydrogenatable material capable of binding hydrogen in a reversible exothermic hydrogenation operation by forming a hydride, depending on the temperature and/or pressure. The hydrogenatable material can be distributed in the gas diffusion layer and/or in the catalyst layer or can be present as a separate layer on at least one side of the gas diffusion electrode or the membrane.
