Abstract: An oral delivery composition and method are provided for facilitating the swallowing of a solid object such as a pill, tablet, capsule or caplet. The oral delivery composition is made up of a mixture of a base liquid and at least one additive. The additive is selected and is present in the oral delivery composition in a sufficient concentration such that the oral delivery composition has improved physical properties, in comparison with the base liquid, so that when the oral delivery composition and a solid object to be swallowed by a user are administered together to the user and swallowed, the solid object is less likely to become lodged or stuck on tongue, throat, palate or esophageal surfaces of the user, in comparison to when the base liquid and the solid object are administered together and swallowed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multiband antenna which finds utility particularly in mobile stations. The antenna structure includes a PIFA-type antenna positioned inside the covers of a mobile station, which antenna includes a slot radiator (231). In the planar element there is a second slot (232) so that, viewed from a feed point (F), two radiating conductive branches (B1, B2) of different lengths are formed. Each of the three radiators has a separate operating band of its own. The structure also includes a whip element (211) movable with respect to the PIFA part. When the whip element is pulled out, its lower end is galvanically coupled with the shorter branch of the planar element, with its relatively narrow side branch (B12). The whip enhances the operation of the antenna especially in the lowest operating band. The influence of the pulled-out whip on the location of the uppermost operating band is compensated for by a third slot (233) in the planar element. Matching for the whip element is provided by shaping the conductive patterns existing in the planar element in any case. The structure is relatively simple and economical to fabricate. A good three-band planar antenna can be provided without a whip element as well. <IMAGE>
