Title: A method for the preparation of coated solid medicament form
IPC: A61K9/50
Filed: 1988-05-23
Granted: 1993-04-14
Abstract: Solid medicament forms, such as granules, beads and tablets, are first coated with a hot aqueous dispersion of a cellulose ether, which is soluble in cold water but insoluble in hot water, and then subjected to a wax treatment with heating to form a masking layer of the wax. Different from the coating film of a cellulose ether formed by using an aqueous or organic solution of the cellulose ether, the coating film formed by using the aqueous dispersion of the cellulose ether has a porous structure so that the amount of the wax deposited in the wax treatment is much larger than in the prior art methods to exhibit a high effect of masking the bitterness of the ingredient contained in the medicament form.

Abstract: An echogenic medical devices adapted to be inserted into a patient, comprises an elongated member (123, 901, 1003) including a material (127, 1002) having an acoustic impedance different from that of the surrounding medium. For enhancing an image produced in response to a sonic beam produced from imaging equipment, the medium includes biological tissue or fluids surrounding the member when inserted into a passageway of the patient. The elongated member (901) also provides an interface (903) including the outside surface of the member and a plurality of partially spherical indentations (905). Alternatively, generally spherical particles (1002) are attached to the surface of the member (1003) for producing the image in response to the sonic beam. Materials such as stainless steel, plastic, and glass are utilized in the manufacture of the medical device. The device may also include an echogenic body member including a composite material echogenically imageable in the patient. The composite material includes a matrix material with discrete sound reflective particles made from a material different from the matrix material and embedded therein. Several sound reflective particles are disclosed, one type of particle being a glass microsphere about 5 microns in diameter. The matrix material (125) may be a plastic, and may be formed or extruded into devices such as catheters or other medical devices. The composite material may include different quantities of sound reflective particles by percent volume. Furthermore, a radiopaque material may be included in the composite material so the medical device is both ultrasonically imageable and radiographically imageable.

Abstract: A vacuum sealer (1) has three wires (13) that are heated to varying degrees. Two wires are used or dedicated to sealing plastic bags and one of the wires is used to cut the bags. The vacuum sealer is tapered downwardly (3), i.e. has a low profile, for a better air flow through a vacuum nozzle (14) during the vacuuming step. A turbine with curved fins is used to increase the air flow and reduce the time to evacuate air from the bag. Also, the low profile of the unit, the increased size air ducts (10) and the curved fins on the turbine, provide a more effective system for evacuating air from the plastic bag to be used. <IMAGE>

Abstract: This invention discloses an extremely simple chemical heat pump system, utilizing the chemical reaction heat of a perfectly reversible chemical disassociation reaction system, wherein one gaseous compound is involved in said reversible reaction. The present system can realize a large coefficient of performance over a very attractive temperature range and level for general use, by absence of any phase transition. Reaction kinetics of said system is excellent since only one reversible non-flammable gaseous compound is involved in said chemical heat pump system. Said system can be provided with a computer controlled system for changing the restriction value of the expansion valve. The said system is superior to most conventional compression system by replacing the use of ozone (layer) attacking C.F.C's (chlorofluorocarbons) over the entire temperature range.
