  • Patent number: 8202912
    Abstract: A drug in a solubility-improved form is combined with a concentration-enhancing polymer in a sufficient amount so that the combination provides substantially enhanced drug concentration in a use environment relative to a control comprising the same amount of the same solubility-improved form of drug without the concentration-enhancing polymer.

  • Patent number: 8128014
    Abstract: A pulp lifter for installation in a rotary grinding mill has a leading edge wall and a trailing edge wall with respect to rotation of the mill. The leading edge wall and the trailing edge wall define a pulp lifter chamber, and a grate allows slurry to pass to a radially outward collecting region of the pulp lifter chamber for removal from the mill by way of a radially inward discharge region of the pulp lifter chamber. In one embodiment, a gate is positioned between the collecting region and the discharge region, the gate being movable between an open position, in which the gate permits solid material to pass from the collecting region to the discharge region, and a closed position, in which the gate prevents return movement of solid material from the discharge region to the collecting region.

  • Patent number: 8023360
    Abstract: A system for detecting precursor seismic electromagnetic waveforms includes a transducer connected to the emitter of a transistor and arranged to conduct in response to an electromagnetic seismic precursor. Conduction by the transducer initiates a current in the transistor's base-emitter junction, reversing the bias of the function and enabling a resonating current in the junction.

  • Patent number: 7880154
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for planning and delivering radiation treatments by modalities which involve moving a radiation source along a trajectory relative to a subject while delivering radiation to the subject. In some embodiments the radiation source is moved continuously along the trajectory while in some embodiments the radiation source is moved intermittently. Some embodiments involve the optimization of the radiation delivery plan to meet various optimization goals while meeting a number of constraints. For each of a number of control points along a trajectory, a radiation delivery plan may comprise: a set of motion axes parameters, a set of beam shape parameters and a beam intensity.

  • Patent number: 5642871
    Abstract: A suspendable magnetic soap holder assembly for magnetically suspending a bar of soap from a raised holding member includes a flexible suspender interconnected with a first member of a pair of mutually attracting devices and a bar of soap removably interconnected with a second member of the pair of mutually attracting devices. When the flexible suspender is coupled to the raised holding member and the pair of mutually attracting devices are interconnected, the bar of soap is suspended. In one embodiment, the pair of mutually attracting devices are a magnet and a metallic device. A buoyant body may be interposed between the first member and the flexible suspender so that the first member is attached to a bottom side of the buoyant body and the flexible suspender is removably interconnected to the top side of the buoyant body.
