Abstract: The solubility and bioavailability properties of meloxicam can be improved by preparing compositions of meloxicam co-crystals and reducing the particle size of (e.g., “nanosizing”) co-crystals. Such compositions with improved dissolution pharmacokinetic properties can be prepared by granulation and blending the co-crystals with extragranular excipients to provide oral solid dosage forms. As a result of the improved properties of the meloxicam oral dosage forms, the compositions may be useful for the treatment of pain, including acute pain.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and computer readable media for enabling a power shelf unit to communicate a power throttle signal to devices of a power rack (or other grouping of devices) via a busbar. In particular, systems disclosed herein involve detecting a trigger condition associated with throttling power on server devices of a server rack. In response to detecting the trigger condition, systems here cause a direct current (DC) power supply voltage to change from an operating voltage to a notification voltage for a period of time to alert or otherwise communicate to server devices coupled to the busbar of the trigger condition. Causing the DC power supply voltage to change to the notification voltage may cause processors on server devices to throttle power consumption in accordance with one or more power capping policies implanted thereon.
