Title: Absorbent product made from two layers of material, one elipsoidal atop a hyperbolic portion
Inventor: MENARD MICHAEL J
IPC: A61F13/15
Filed: 1995-02-27
Abstract: Improved method and apparatus for forming absorbent products and the improved absorbent products formed thereby are disclosed. In a first embodiment of the present invention, a rotary die (100) is used to cut ellipsoidal and hyperbolic-shaped portions (52, 54) from a single sheet of material (50) and these shapes are overlaid to form an absorbent structure. The shapes are chosen such that there is no waste of the material and yet the resulting absorbent structure is of a useful shape. Methods are also disclosed whereby two sets of rotary dies are used to simultaneously cut two sheets of material into an arcuate segment and the arcuate segments are overlaid atop each other to form useful absorbent structures. In either embodiment, powders such as superabsorbents may be added to one or more of the surfaces of the components used to construct the absorbent structures. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A topographical support member (2) and method of forming a topographical support member (2) for use in producing nonwoven fabrics, especially tricot-like nonwoven fabrics. The topographical support member (2) includes a body (1) having a top surface (3) comprising a pattern of a plurality of peaks (5) and valleys (6) and a plurality of apertures (7). The apertures (7) have a conical top portion (7a) that is surrounded by a cluster of the peaks (5) and valleys (6). The center line to center line spacing of adjacent apertures (7) is less than the major diameter of the conical top portion (7a) of the apertures (7). The topographical support member (2) is formed by focusing a laser beam so that the focal point is below the top surface (3) of a starting workpiece (1) and drilling with the laser beam the predetermined pattern of tapered apertures (7). The pattern of tapered apertures (7) forms the cluster of peaks (5) and valleys (6) surrounding each aperture (7) on the top surface (3) of the resulting support member (2). <IMAGE>

Filed: 1997-04-25
Abstract: The file, or a part thereof, is divided into a series of R groups of data, and each of the groups is subdivided into a series of C blocks of the data. A group of C redundancy blocks is generated, each redundancy block being related to respective ones of the data blocks in the R groups by being a bitwise exclusive OR or NOR of those data blocks. Each of the groups of data blocks and the group of redundancy blocks are repeatedly transmitted from the transmitter. At the receiver/decoder, at least some of the transmitted blocks are received and supplied to the computer. The computer is used to determine for at least one of the received redundancy blocks whether that redundancy block and all except one of its respective data blocks have been received, and if so regenerate said one data block.

IPC: A61K31/421
Filed: 1999-05-27
Abstract: A method for delivering a drug comprises administrating a capsule shaped osmotic tablet dosage form comprising the drug that provides drug plasma concentrations that are substantially smoothly ascending over an extended time period. Also described are dosage forms comprising a drug and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier comprising a capsule shaped tablet core, a semipermeable membrane and an orifice, which releases the drug at an ascending release rate for an extended time period. The capsule shaped tablet core comprises two layers, a first layer comprising a portion of the drug and the second layer comprises a suitable fluid-expanding polymer and is adjacent to the first layer. The semipermeable membrane surrounds the capsule shaped tablet core to form a compartment having an osmotic gradient to drive fluid from an external fluid environment contacting the semipermeable membrane into the compartment. The orifice is formed through the semipermeable membrane and into the capsule shaped tablet core at location adjacent to the first layer to permit the drug to be released from within the compartment into the external fluid environment. Preferably the drug is methylphenidate and can be used in the amount of 100ng to 500mg in manufacture of a medicament for the treatment Attention-Deficit Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder to achieve an ascending plasma drug concentration over a time period of 5.5 hours to about 9.5 hours following administration.
