Abstract: For manufacturing a solid administration form comprising at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient, a flowable but setting composite material comprising the at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient is added together and set to generate the solid administration form. The flowable composite material is liquefied and delivered to a discharge unit. Small portions of liquefied composite material are intermittently discharged through an outlet into a setting unit. The flowable composite material comprises a polymer and at least one active pharmaceutical ingredient dispersed or dissolved within the polymer. The small portions are droplets and the solid administration form is generated by adding droplets that stick together before or during the setting of the liquefied composite material. An average diameter of the droplets can be less than 350 ?m. There can be a void space between at least some small portions, resulting in a porous structure of the solid administration form.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula I in which R1, R2 and R3 have the meanings indicated in Claim 1, are inhibitors of Tankyrase, and can be employed, inter alia, for the treatment of diseases such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, central nervous system injury and different forms of inflammation.
Abstract: A device for imaging a bioluminescence reaction of a sample is provided, containing a reflector having a parametric form and extending about a first longitudinal axis (C), a receptacle into which a sample container with a second longitudinal axis can be inserted to be held therein, and a photo sensor with a photosensitive portion. The reflector has an opening through which the sample container can be inserted to a position where the sample container is held in the receptacle. The receptacle is arranged such that, when the sample container with the sample is held in the receptacle, the sample is surrounded by the reflector so that the light emitted from the sample due to the bioluminescence reaction is reflected by the reflector onto the photosensitive portion of the photo sensor. And an apparatus is provided including the device.

Abstract: Electronic device and associated methods with multiple well areas located on a common substrate, where each well area is defined by at least three bank structures that form the side walls of the well area. Within each well area, there are at least two electrode segments where the electrode segments are separated laterally by at least one insulating bank where the insulating bank(s) are thicker than the electrode segments. There is at least one charge transporting layer completely filling the well area in direct contact and overlying both the electrode segments and the insulating bank(s). The well areas are filled using solution methods such as inkjet. Such devices have improved uniformity across the active areas.
