Abstract:
Pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more medicaments in a pharmaceutically acceptable effervescent formulation. The effervescent formulation includes a first gas-dispersing component and a second gas-generating effervescent component, wherein at least one first gas is released from the first gas-dispersing component and at least one second gas is generated and evolved from the second gas-generating effervescent component, upon contact with a minimal amount of water. The formulation is placed in an aqueous vehicle wherein the formulation effervesces gases causes penetration, dispersion and distribution of the medicaments in the vehicle. The vehicle, which may be any ordinary food or beverage chosen by the patient, is then ingested by the patient for delivery of a dosage of the medicaments.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a device and method for use in tactile communications adaptable for use by anyone able to recognize messages written in a language known to them. The present invention uses a series of sequentially firing vibromechanical stimulators (46) vibrating against the skin or other suitably tactile sensitive area of the wearer. The vibromechanical stimulators (46) are arranged in a substantially two dimensional array (34) over the skin and are then triggered individually and in sequence, following a set of patterns representative of the symbols in the language recognizable to the wearer to tactually convey the message. The wearer cognitively perceives the tactual stimulation as a line or lines drawn on the skin or suitably tactile sensitive area that resemble the symbols used to communicate between the message sender and the wearer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method which comprises filling the primary circuit (1) with water and setting the water pressure in said primary circuit (1) at a level allowing the operation of the primary pumps (15, 25, 35), operating the first primary pump (35) of a loop (33) which is not connected to the pressurizer (17) by a pressurization line (18), continuously exhausting the gas contained in the primary circuit (1) and carried by the water circulated by the pump (35) in the upper part of the vessel (12) at least during the primary pump operation, stopping the first primary pump (35) and successively operating the other primary pumps (25, 15) and, simultaneously, all the primary pumps (15, 25, 35) by simultaneously exhausting the gas in the upper part of said vessel (12) and carrying out the final venting of the primary circuit at the uppermost points of said primary circuit (1), by means of first and second exhaust lines (27, 22), respectively connected to the cover of the vessel (12) and to the pressurizer (17). Said invention also relates to a device comprising means for continuously exhausting gas reaching the upper part (12a) of the vessel (12) during the operation of the pumps.
