Abstract: Disclosed is a vaginal ring intended for the release of at least one drug over a prolonged time period. The vaginal ring contains a ring body made of a first polymeric material having at least one hollow internal channel defining an opening to the exterior of said body and which channel is adapted to receive a drug-containing core through said opening, and an intravaginally administerable drug-containing core disposed in the channel. The core is positioned in the vaginal ring body suitably prior to use in order to substantially avoid initial bursts of drug into the tissues of the subject and resultant side effects such as nausea and vomiting. The core contains a pharmaceutically effective amount of at least one intravaginally administerable drug dispersed in a second polymeric material. The first and second polymeric materials may be the same or different. Representative drugs include contraceptive agents and other steroidal substances for use in hormone replacement therapy. Also disclosed are methods for preparing the vaginal rings, kits for assembling the vaginal rings, and methods of using the vaginal rings to achieve intravaginal delivery of drugs to a female.

Abstract: The invention concerns a sheathing method which consists in depositing on the sheathing carrier, upstream of the supports storing the tubular plastic film, a bale carried by a handling equipment, which is itself associated with a tractor (3). Said bale (2) is pushed and slides on the carrier base plate (10), against the preceding bale, by means of a pusher-ejector device (25) which, in response, causes the handling equipment to move simultaneously driving the tractor (3) and, by means of a crosspiece (27) arranged beneath the frame (5) of the pusher-ejector, the carrier (1) by means of a stop (26) integral with the two rails constituting the base plate (10) whereon said bale is set. The travel of the pusher (25) is at least equal to the bale (2) length for moving the carrier (1) by a step corresponding to said length.

Abstract: An improved method for use with an open-path fast Fourier infrared spectrometer performs real-time, spectral alignment on measured interferograms to reduce measuremental errors. The improved method includes the step of selecting a plurality of water-vapor lines in a defined spectral region and comparing the centerline of these measured water vapor lines to a reference library. From these comparisons, the spectrometer calculates correction factors to apply to the spectrometer bandwidth. The improved spectrometer performs transform functions on selected segments of the spectrometer bandwidth which introduce integer-continuous corrective shifts on subsequently measured interferogram data.

Abstract: A neutral or cationic polymer is used to prevent the activation of a blood or plasma phase in contact with semi-permeable membranes of polyacrylonitrile. A neutral or cationic polymer is used to prevent activation of the contact phase of blood or plasma coming into contact with a semi-permeable membrane based on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) carrying fixed negative charges situated in an apparatus for the treatment of blood or plasma by extra-corporal circulation. The neutral or cationic polymer is combined with the semi-permeable membrane before or after formation of the membrane and before sterilization of the membrane. The overall ionic capacity of the semi-permeable membrane based on PAN and carrying fixed negative charges and including a neutral or cationic polymer, is negative. The absolute value of the overall ionic capacity of the semi-permeable membrane based on PAN and carrying fixed negative charges and including a neutral or cationic polymer is at most 10 % less than the overall ionic capacity of the same semi-permeable membrane without the neutral or cationic polymer. The modified PAN based semi-permeable membrane corresponds, before sterilization, with one or other of the following electric characteristics: (a) the electrokinetic index I is less than or equal to 0.8, where I is the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio Z/R where Z = the zeta potential in microvolts, expressed as an absolute value, of the surface of the membrane which comes into contact with the blood or plasma, and R = the electrical resistivity of the membrane expressed in ohm.cm; and (b) the Zeta potential Z is positive and is between 0 and +15 mV (terminals not included). Independent claims are included for: (A) the production of a device for the treatment of blood or plasma by extra-corporal circulation in contact with a semi-permeable membrane in the form of a flat membrane or a bundle of hollow fibers; and (B) a device for the treatment of blood or plasma by extra-corporal circulation, sterilized and ready to use, containing a semi-permeable membrane.

Abstract: A toilet seat and lid, each comprising a rigid insert injection molded of reinforced thermoplastic material. Each insert is then over-molded by injection molding with a thermoplastic elastomeric material which provides the outer surface of seat and lid. The inserts are dimensioned with respect to their over-molded surfaces to be smaller than the finished seat and lid and are designed to give maximum strength to the seat and lid. Each insert is shaped to promote the flow of the over-mold material and to minimize shrinking, swelling or distortion of the insert. The elastomeric material is preferably chemically compatible with the inserts to allow a chemical as well as mechanical bond to take place. The over-molded material provides the desired soft, non-slip, warm to the touch outer characteristics of the seat and lid.
