Abstract: Pharmaceutical dosage forms comprising an edible web having deposited thereon or at least partially thereon a particulate medicament, the webs being thereafter fabricated and finished to pharmaceutically elegant solid dosage forms having no medicament exposed on an exterior surface. The dosage forms have a consistency of release of medicament which can be controlled to exacting specifications. The disclosed solid dosage forms are prepared by high speed automated equipment and the process by which they are made is characterized by non-destructive quality control analysis and performance evaluation both conducted on-line and integrated into the manufacturing operation. Included in the scope of the disclosed invention are certain apparatus and methods of manufacture.

Abstract: A pan and an applicator roller supported thereby are pivotably supported for movement between operative and inoperative positions by a parallelogram link means including a gear segment. Actuator means is connected to the gear segment for rotating the same in opposite directions.

Abstract: Method and apparatus to produce a bonded loop pile carpet. The carpet machine is of the rotary type which uses cooperating blade members to form the yarn loops for bonding to a backing sheet. One set of the blade members is reciprocably mounted in the rotor of the machine.

Abstract: Method and apparatus to produce a bonded loop pile carpet. The carpet machine is of the rotary type which uses cooperating notched blade members which are shogged to form the yarn loops for bonding to a backing sheet. One set of the blade members is reciprocably mounted in the rotor of the machine.
