Title: Drug formulations having reduced abuse potential
Inventor: CHANG RONG-KUN
IPC: A61K9/20
Filed: 2004-05-12
Granted: 2013-12-31
Abstract: Drug formulations having reduced abuse potential which contain one or more of (1) an agent that has a nasty odor, (2) a bright deterrent/indicator dye and (3) fine insoluble particulate matter. The malodorous agent and dye are in a form which does not affect proper administration of the drug, but the odorous agent creates a nasty odor when the dosage form is crushed or chemically extracted and nasally, by inhalation, orally, buccally or sublingually administered and the dye produces a bright color when crushed and contacted.  The fine insoluble particulate matter hinders extraction of the drug from the dosage form and, when crushed, can deter intravenous injection because of the presence of the insoluble particles or hinder injection by blocking an intravenous needle. The bright color of the dye, when extracted, also has a psychologically deterrent effect on intravenous abusers.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des carbures et d'autres composés non platiniques dans des conditions d'un potentiel d'électrode aussi élevé que 0,4 V ou supérieur dans un électrolyte acide, qui sont activés et dissous et qui ne peuvent être présents de façon stable. Le domaine d'application du catalyseur d'électrode se limite donc à des potentiels d'électrodes faibles. Il existe une demande de développement d'un catalyseur d'électrode qui, dans ces conditions, présente une meilleure stabilité tout en conservant des capacités catalytiques. L'invention concerne un catalyseur d'électrode d'oxynitrure métallique comprenant un oxynitrure renfermant au moins un élément métallique de transition choisi dans le groupe formé de La, Ta, Nb, Ti et Zr. Ledit catalyseur d'électrode est utilisé à un potentiel d'au moins 0,4 V par rapport au potentiel d'électrode d'hydrogène réversible dans un électrolyte acide. Ce catalyseur d'électrode d'oxynitrure métallique peut servir de catalyseur d'électrode dans des systèmes électrochimiques fonctionnant dans un électrolyte acide dans le domaine de l'électrolyse de l'eau, de l'électrolyse organique, de piles à combustible, etc.

Abstract: Un indicateur d'avertissement pré-défaillance est présenté pour être utilisé avec une élingue. L'indicateur d'avertissement pré-défaillance se déclenche à un point qui est prévisible dans une plage relativement étroite, ce qui augmente la possibilité qu'une élingue endommagée soit retirée du service. L'indicateur d'avertissement pré-défaillance comprend une fibre dédiée qui est placée à proximité des fibres centrales porteuses de charge de l'élingue, mais reste séparée et indépendante des fibres centrales; les extrémités de la fibre dédiée sont reliées par un « anneau » sacrifice. Une fibre d'avertissement a une extrémité qui est visible par l'opérateur et les accrocheurs parallèlement à la fibre sacrifice et l'anneau. L'anneau est conçu pour céder lorsque l'élingue est assujettie à une condition particulière choisie (p. ex., poids excessif). La défaillance de l'anneau entraîne la disparition de la fibre d'avertissement de la vue de l'accrocheur, ce qui avertit l'accrocheur que l'élingue a été soumise à la condition particulière choisie et peut être endommagée.
