Abstract: The use of a combination of a first polymer and a second polymer as a taste-masking agent for an active pharmaceutical ingredient in an amorphous form and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or esters thereof wherein the active pharmaceutical agent is selected from NSAIDs wherein the active pharmaceutical ingredient and the combination of the first polymer and the second polymer are in the form of a solidified melt extrudate.

Abstract: An automated fluid handling system configured to prepare fluid samples and to introduce them into an analytical instrument, such as a particle analyzer, flow cytometer or sorter flow cell, and that is capable of analyzing both accurately and quickly.

Abstract: A thermoformed article carries an image. Using a first sheet carrying a grid image and a mold having at least two cavities, a forming carrying a grid distortion pattern for each cavity is made. An initial image is computed for each cavity based on the corresponding grid distortion pattern and a desired image. The initial images are applied to a second sheet. Using the second sheet and the mold, at least two articles are made, each article carrying a distorted image that is substantially similar to the desired image.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for improving the shape of the underside of ribbed concrete slab-on-ground foundations, the foundation having earthen pads and trenched ribs, that includes positioning one or more shoring panels adjacent to at least one of the earthen pads along at least part of one vertical side of a rib, wherein the shoring panels are made from expanded polystyrene treated with a termiticide, backfilling sand in the void between the shoring panels and the earthen pad, dragging a screed across the top portion of the shoring panels to smooth the backfilled sand over the earthen pads, and pouring concrete within a perimeter defined by outer forms and over the earthen pads, backfilled sand, shoring panels, and trenched ribs. The ability to cut and form the panels provides a wide range of structurally efficient cross-sectional shapes with the concrete not possible with traditional methods.
