Abstract: Ivermectin, an antiparasitic agent which is insoluble and unstable in water, is solubilized by the formation of colloidal particles, called micelles, with surface active agents as solubilizers and stabilized by using cosolvents and/or appropriate substrates in the aqueous formulation. The liquid formulations are suitable for use as parenteral or oral administration for the treatment of parasitic infections.

Abstract: A circuit for regulation of a D.C. output voltage in a switching power supply. The circuit contains a control transformer having primary, secondary and control windings. The output of the circuit is connected from the primary and secondary windings and is controlled by a switching element connected from the control winding. The circuit output error is provided to duty cycle modulation circuitry which varies the duty cycle of the switching element, thereby controlling the output voltage level.

Abstract: A rug or mat cleaning apparatus is disclosed which is comprised of first a dry lint and dust removing section, then a water or like liquid containing vessel having an initial wash section and then a rinse section and then finally a wringer section. A mat to be cleaned is passed through a first conveying roller at a slower driving speed. Thereafter, the mat or rug enters an increased speed brush which both removes dirt and agitates the surface of the rug and beats it to knock loose undesireable dirt and like particles. In the wash section of the apparatus, alternating feed rollers and brush rollers carry the mat or rug to be cleaned. Each feed roller clamps and holds the rug to prevent slipping while conveying it at a slower linear speed. Each brush roller provides a brushing surface having a substantially higher linear speed than the surface of the conveying rolls. Thus, a "tuck" or crease is created in the rug between each high speed roller brush and its adjacent and following slower conveying roll.

Abstract: A soluble complex of an insoluble drug, exemplified by Rafoxanide is formed with polyvinylpyrrolidone and water. The complex is formed by combining the insoluble drug and polyvinylpyrrolidone in a suitable water miscible organic solvent, preferably acetone or glycerolformal, and water. The complex is formed in situ. The solvent may be removed, if desired, and the complex remains in aqueous solution. The aqueous solution is then suitable for injection and may be used to treat fasciola or liver fluke infections.
