Title: Forme posologique d'opioides a liberation prolongee empechant la consommation abusive
Inventor: CARUSO FRANK S
IPC: A61K45/00
Filed: 2002-05-10
Granted: 2012-03-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne des comprimés d'opioïdes à libération prolongée empêchant la consommation abusive. Ces comprimés sont une combinaison d'un antagoniste opioïde, tel que la naloxone, à un niveau supérieur au niveau nécessaire à la suppression de l'état euphorique provoqué par l'opioïde, si le comprimé devait être broyé de manière à perdre ses propriétés de libération prolongée, entraînant ainsi la libération immédiate de l'opioïde et de l'antagoniste opioïde en une seule dose. La caractéristique de libération prolongée du comprimé empêche l'accumulation de quantités oralement efficaces d'antagoniste opioïde lors d'une prise normale. L'antagoniste opioïde est contenu dans une matrice à libération prolongée; il est libéré au fil du temps avec l'opioïde.

Abstract: A transporting system and method for use in a high velocity document processing system using lower velocity print technology. The invention including an upstream transport conveying spaced apart documents at a first transport velocity. A deceleration transport decelerates documents from the high speed to a lower print velocity before passing the documents a print transport. A sensor located at the deceleration transport, detects the presence of documents at the deceleration transport, and triggers the deceleration profile to be performed on the document. The deceleration transport is controlled such that a leading portion of a document that is being decelerated overtakes a trailing portion of a downstream document that already traveling at the lower print velocity in the control of the print transport. An overlapping arrangement urges the lead portion of the upstream document to overlap on top of the trailing portion of the downstream document when the upstream document overtakes the downstream document. A print head prints on the transported documents at the print transport velocity.

Abstract: Unique encoding of each of a substantial number of distribution video copies of a program such as a motion picture is produced by altering the images slightly at several pre-selected locations in the program in a uniquely coded pattern. Suspected counterfeits can be compared with an unaltered master video to determine the encoded number for the copy which was counterfeited to enable tracking the source of the counterfeit. Preferably, each frame of several whole scenes is altered at each location so as to make the alterations largely undetectable by counterfeiters but easily detected by comparison with an unaltered master video. Artifacts are inserted in patterns representing a unique number for the program. These supplement the encoding by alteration of images and gives added means to aid in tracing counterfeit copies.

Title: Process and apparatus for casting metal strip and injector used therefor
Inventor: SULZER JOHN
IPC: B22D11/20
Filed: 1994-07-19
Granted: 2007-05-29
Abstract: Process and apparatus for continuous casting of metal strip in which a layer of liquid parting agent, and any solid detritus contained therein, is completely removed from a casting surface of a rotating belt after contact with the metal, and in which a new layer of liquid parting agent is applied to the casting surface thereafter and prior to renewed contact with the molten metal. The removal of used parting agent and the application of fresh helps to prevent the formation of surface blemishes and defects on the cast metal strip product. Such blemishes and defects can also be minimized by using an injector having a flexible tip used to inject the molten metal onto the casting surface and preferably one or more spacers to create a gap between the tip and the casting surface itself. The spacer is preferably a screen of wire strands orientated to minimize disruption of the new layer of liquid parting agent applied to the casting surface. By avoiding disruption of the new layer of liquid parting agent, surface blemishes on the cast product are minimized. The invention also relates to the molten metal injector having a flexible tip and optionally provided with spacer elements.
