  • Patent number: 9339467
    Abstract: Conventional spray-drying methods are improved by incorporation of a pressure nozzle and a diffuser plate to improve the flow of drying gas and a drying chamber extension to increase drying time, such improvements leading to the formation of homogeneous solid dispersions of drugs in concentration-enhancing polymers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 17, 2016
    Assignee: Bend Research, Inc.
    Inventors: Ronald A. Beyerinck, Heather L. M. Deibele, Dan E. Dobry, Roderick J. Ray, Dana M. Settell, Ken R. Spence
