Abstract: An apparatus (10,10') and method for separating a particle stream into particle groups, comprising a dilution treatment chamber (12) defining an upstanding channel (20) to receive a particle stream, such that the particle stream falls toward a first-particle-group outlet (22). A transfer casing (13,13') is adjacent to the dilution treatment chamber (12) and defines a transfer chamber to receive a second particle group. Second-particle-group outlets (24) are laterally positioned with respect to the channel and allow fluid communication therebetween. A distributor (14A,25,80,90) in the channel (20) is provided to break down the particle stream and to distribute the particle stream over a surface area of the channel (20). Fluid flow apertures (25) create a fluid flow between the transfer chamber and the channel (20) so as to entrain a second particle group to the transfer chamber with a first particle group remaining in the channel (20) for exiting through the first-particle-group outlet (22). The apparatus (10,10') and method is also used to mix/treat particle streams/fluids.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des formes galéniques aromatisées, par exemple des pastilles et des gommes, permettant la libération prolongée d'un agent aromatisant dans la bouche. Les formes galéniques permettent une libération prolongée à l'aide d'une matrice humide formée par addition d'un polymère biocompatible, hydrophile, non soluble dans l'eau tel que l'éthylcellulose et d'un agent aromatisant, notamment une huile essentielle ou un constituant de celle-ci, par exemple un terpène ou un sesquiterpène. Les formes galéniques peuvent aussi contenir un second agent bénéfique en plus de l'agent aromatisant. On peut citer à titre d'exemple de ces agents bénéfiques des composés de zinc ionisables ainsi que d'autres anticoryza, des agents anesthésiants locaux et anti-infectieux, des produits d'appoint alimentaire, des composés libérant du fluor et de la nicotine. Les formes galéniques, lorsqu'elles sont formulées sous la forme de pastilles, peuvent être quelque peu adhésives ou sensiblement non collantes, selon essentiellement la masse moléculaire du polymère hydrophile. Des pastilles adhésives peuvent servir de formes galéniques collant aux dents ou aux gencives pour libérer un agent bénéfique au niveau de celles-ci. L'invention concerne également des procédés d'utilisation des formes galéniques pour permettre la libération prolongée d'un agent aromatisant et facultativement administrer un second agent bénéfique, ainsi que des procédés de traitement du rhume classique, de traitement de maux de gorge, d'aide à la perte de poids et d'aide à la désaccoutumance au tabac.
