Abstract: A method to provide active noise control to reduce noise and vibration in reverberant acoustic enclosures such as aircraft, vehicles, appliances, instruments, industrial equipment and the like is presented. A continuous-time multi-input multi-output (MIMO) state space mathematical model of the plant is obtained via analytical modeling and system identification. Compensation is designed to render the mathematical model passive in the sense of mathematical system theory. The compensated system is checked to ensure robustness of the passive property of the plant. The check ensures that the passivity is preserved if the mathematical model parameters are perturbed from nominal values. A passivity-based controller is designed and verified using numerical simulations and then tested. The controller is designed so that the resulting closed-loop response shows the desired noise reduction.

Abstract: The present invention provides a controlled release formulation comprising an therapeutically effective amount of pharmacologically active substance having high water solubility, at least one non-polymeric release retardant, and at least one pH independent non-swelling release retarding polymer. The said dosage form provides controlled release of the active agent with reduced initial burst release.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable pharmaceutical composition comprising an ACE inhibitor or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or derivative thereof. In particular, the invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition, which comprises an ACE inhibitor, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or a derivative thereof, and a C16-C28 glyceride. ACE inhibitors useful in the present invention are susceptible to heat and/or mechanical stress-induced degradation. Preferred ACE inhibitors are ramipril, trandolapril, quinapril and pharmaceutically acceptable salts and derivatives thereof. The composition of the present invention may be for use as a medicament for the treatment or prevention of a cardiovascular disease, a coronary heart disease, a cerebrovascular disease, a peripheral vascular disease, arrhythmia, hypertension, cardiac failure, cardiovascular death, myocardial infraction, stroke or angina.

Abstract: Highly compressible controlled delivery compositions of metformin or salts thereof and the process of making the same are disclosed. Metformin is granulated with a binder and further dispersed in a rate-controlling matrix that results in increased hardness and decreased friability thereby effectively solving compressibility difficulties arising for Metformin formulations.
