Title: Nanoparticulate bioactive agents
Inventor: BASSETT MICHAEL J
IPC: A61K9/51
Filed: 2003-10-30
Abstract: Bioactive agents may be reproducibly converted into particles having diamete rs in the range of about 5 to about 2000 nanometers (nm). Conversion is accomplished by dissolving the bioactive agent in a solvent for the bioactiv e agent, and rapidly altering the polarity of the solution to make it a non- solvent for the bioactive agent, for example by diluting the bioactive agent solution with an excess of a liquid that is a non-solvent for the bioactive agent but is miscible with the solvent. Precipitated bioactive agent nanoparticles are collected by centrifugation, filtration or Iyophilization. The nanoparticles have a relatively narrow size distribution, and the averag e diameter can be controlled by choice of solvent and non-solvent. The nanoparticles are typically amorphous. A surfactant may be added to ensure dispersion of the particles when administered. In the preferred embodiment, the bioactive agent is a drug with low aqueous solubility.

Title: String instrument chinrest pad system
Inventor: ANDERSON GARY L
IPC: G10D3/18
Filed: 2005-08-30
Abstract: A chinrest pad system designed to hold a standard chinrest used with a stri ng instrument that minimizes dampening of vibration and prevents damage caused by the metal components touching the edges of the instrument. The system includes pads located under the support surface of the chinrest member and on top of the lower lip plate used on the lower clamping member. The pads are specifically designed to partially engage the instrument's upper and lower edges and match the curvature of instrument surface immediately adjacent to the edge. Each pad also includes a rear extending lip that bends slightly around the upper or lower edge and extends rearward to prevent the metal rods used with the turnbuckles from contacting the rear surface. During assembly, the pads are positioned over t he upper and lower edges so that the compression forces exerted by the support surface an d the lower lip plate are centrally located over the sidewall transverse axis, thereby minimizing dampening of vibration.
