Abstract: A system for recycling planar objects including compressed mineral fiber material includes: a conveyor arranged to covey the planar objects through a number of stations at least including a thickness measurement station and a sound measurement station. The sound measurement station includes a sound reflecting surface arranged to back a first major surface of a planar object, a sound emitter arranged to emit sound towards the sound reflecting surface, a sound receiver arranged to receive sound reflected from the sound reflecting surface, and a converter arranged to determine a property related to sound absorption. A sorting station is arranged to sort the planar objects based on determined properties in to a plurality of fractions.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for improved transdermal drug delivery comprising a drug, a combination of at least two penetration enhancing agents, wherein at least one of the penetration enhancing agents is selected from the group consisting of esters of saturated or unsaturated fatty acids and lower alcohols, and iso-form alcohols; wherein at least one of the penetration enhancing agents is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic diols and triols; and wherein the components are present in a non-aqueous solvent system. A preferred topical composition comprises the active substance imiquimod and the penetration enhancing agents isopropyl myristate and propylene glycol.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for releasing an active substance from a composition. The active substance is either substantially water-insoluble and/or immobilised on or in nanosized particles. A diffusion gradient is established between the inside and the outside of the composition, which allows the transport of a nanosuspension of the active substance through the pores of the membrane.
