Publication number: 20220160157Abstract: A rug fastening device for attaching a rug to an installed carpet includes a fastener, which in turn comprises a plate and a screw. The screw is attached to a lower face of the plate and extends helically therefrom. The screw is pointed distal from the plate and thus can penetrate a substrate, such as a rug, a runner, or a mat. The fastener is one of a plurality of fasteners. Each fastener can be screwed through the substrate and into a carpet to affix the substrate thereto to prevent slipping and bunching of the substrate.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 24, 2020Publication date: May 26, 2022Inventor: Armin Prasch

Patent number: 10646444Abstract: The invention provides pellet for use as a core for a pharmaceutical dosage form having an inner and an outer zone where the inner zone includes a biologically active agent and said outer zone includes a layer formed by applying a substantially dry, free flowing inert powder which forms a non-tacky surface when placed in contact with water. The invention also provides a process for making pharmaceutical pellets where the core or at least one a layer on the core is formed by (a) contacting powder particles, adhering them to each other and compacting the adhered pellets by a rolling movement, wherein the degree of densification is controlled by the rolling movement; and (b) feeding a sufficient amount of a substantially dry, free flowing inert powder which forms a non-tacky surface when placed in contact with water to provide on said particles an outer zone including a layer formed from said substantially dry, free flowing inert powder.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: May 12, 2020Assignee: Nortec Development Associates, Inc.Inventors: Orapin Rubino, David M.

Patent number: 6383553Abstract: A method and a device function for monitoring and/or controlling and regulating a granulation, agglomeration, instantization, coating and drying process in a fluidized layer or a moving bulk by determining the product moisture. At least during one process segment the total product moisture is measured substantially continuously over a period of seconds, in a contact-free manner using electromagnetic radiation in the high frequency or microwave range, by evaluation of the attenuation of the radiation as a measure of this total product moisture. Taking into account the product temperature, the measurement result is used to hold the total product moisture in a pre-determined range via a control circuit by changing the spray rate and/or the gas temperature and/or the volume flow.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1999Date of Patent: May 7, 2002Assignee: Glatt GmbHInventors: Mathias Tondar, Bernhard Luy, Armin Prasch
