Abstract: Flavored dosage forms, e.g., lozenges and gums, are provided for sustained release of a flavoring agent in the mouth. The dosage forms provide sustained release by virtue of a wet matrix formed by admixture of a biocompatible, hydrophilic, water-insoluble polymer such as ethylcellulose and a flavoring agent, particularly an essential oil or a constituent thereof, e.g., a terpene or sesquiterpene. The dosage forms may also include a second beneficial agent in addition to the flavoring agent. Exemplary such beneficial agents include ionizable zinc compounds and other cold remedies, local anesthetic and anti-infective agents, diet aids, fluoride-releasing compounds, and nicotine. The dosage forms, when formulated as lozenges, may be somewhat adhesive or substantially nontacky, depending primarily on the molecular weight of the hydrophilic polymer. Adhesive lozenges can serve as dosage forms that adhere to the teeth or gums for delivery of a beneficial agent thereto. Methods for using the dosage forms to provide sustained release of a flavoring agent and optionally deliver a second beneficial agent are also provided, as are methods for treating the common cold, treating a sore throat, facilitating weight loss, and assisting in smoking cessation.

A seat back is pivotally mounted at the pivot points, the seat back being connected to the back support member. Downward movement of the back support member vertically with respect to the seating shell base causes the seat back to pivot at the pivot points, thereby reclining the seat back, and thereby causing the inner seat tray to slide forward with respect to the seating shell base.

Abstract: A high isolation optical switch has a core surrounded by a clad layer. The core is shaped to have an input line and two output lines branching off from the input line through a node. Two heater elements are each disposed adjacent to each of the two output lines. One of the heater elements is selectively energized to heat one of the output lines to lower the refractive index thereof to such an extent as to make that output line inactive. The two output lines are each shaped to include a straight segment that branches off from the node. Each heater element includes a main strip that overlaps partially with the straight segment of the adjacent output line with respect to a horizontal projection plane on which the heater elements and the core project, and also includes a deflector strip that extends from the main strip along the node. Each of the deflector strips runs in a spaced relation with the node and in a generally parallel relation with an extension line of the straight segment of the non-associated output line with respect to the horizontal projection plane. The deflector strip acts to heat a part of the node leading to an inactive output line but to keep the other part leading to an active output line from being thermally unaffected, thereby deflecting the light out through the node for successfully directing it into the active output line.
