  • Patent number: 10399724
    Abstract: A packaging machine may be provided for producing packages from a packaging material advanced along an advancing path. The packaging material may have a longitudinal edge arranged along the advancing path and a mark configured to provide an indication about the position of the packaging material. The packaging machine may include a forming unit configured to fold the packaging material into a tube having a longitudinal axis arranged along the advancing path, a first sensor configured to detect the position of the edge and generate a first control signal, a second sensor configured to read the mark and to generate a second signal, and a control device having an actuation device configured to move the packaging material in a direction arranged transversally with respect to the advancing path based on the first control signal and second signal. A method for producing packages from a packaging material may additionally be provided.

  • Patent number: 7989658
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the purification of gabapentin. The process relates to the addition of hydrochloric acid to an aqueous solution or suspension of gabapentin, before, during or after the concentration step of that solution, and the subsequent slurry of the gabapentin by the addition of an alcoholic solvent. The so obtained gabapentin has an high purity degree and, in particular, is characterized by a low content of lactam.
