  • Patent number: 11966340
    Abstract: To automate time series forecasting machine learning pipeline generation, a data allocation size of time series data may be determined based on one or more characteristics of a time series data set. The time series data may be allocated for use by candidate machine learning pipelines based on the data allocation size. Features for the time series data may be determined and cached by the candidate machine learning pipelines. Predictions of each of the candidate machine learning pipelines using at least the one or more features may be evaluated. A ranked list of machine learning pipelines may be automatically generated from the candidate machine learning pipelines for time series forecasting based upon evaluating predictions of each of the one or more candidate machine learning pipelines.

  • Patent number: 11896721
    Abstract: An oral controlled-release multiparticulate dosage form comprises a plurality of individually enteric coated particulates containing an L-carnitine that independently disperse in a patient's stomach after oral ingestion and travel through the stomach and past the pyloric sphincter without substantially releasing the L-carnitine in the stomach. The individual particulates contain a solid core containing the L-carnitine, and an enteric coating. The dosage form may be used to treat conditions associated with a reduction of the amount of L-carnitine in the body.

  • Patent number: 11207273
    Abstract: A method of making an L-menthol dosage form includes forming a wet granulation including an L-menthol source and at least one pharmaceutical excipient. The wet granulation is extruded into an extrudate and the extrudate is cut into individual core pieces. The individual core pieces are spheronized into individual spheronized cores and the individual spheronized cores are dried to form dried individual spheronized cores. The dried individual spheronized cores are spray coated with a liquid proteinaceous material that forms a film of a proteinaceous material over the dried individual spheronized cores. The film of proteinaceous material is dried over the dried individual spheronized cores to form individual subcoated cores. An enteric coating is applied and dried over the individual subcoated cores to form a plurality of individual enteric coated cores.
