  • Patent number: 11173122
    Abstract: Provided is a novel additive for an orally disintegrating tablet which imparts a rapid disintegration property and a tablet hardness to the orally disintegrating tablet and a method for producing the same. An additive for an orally disintegrating tablet according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a D-mannitol, a low-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose (excluding those having a mean particle size of 20 ?m or less and a substitution degree of the hydroxypropoxy groups of 11%, having a mean particle size of 45 ?m or less and a substitution degree of the hydroxypropoxy groups of 14% and having a mean particle size of 45 ?m or less and a substitution degree of the hydroxypropoxy groups of 11% together with a 90% cumulated particle size of 100 ?m or less), a crospovidone and a crystalline cellulose.

  • Patent number: 11149368
    Abstract: A sewing machine includes a feed amount setting part and a feed amount adjustment part. In the feed amount setting part, a forward feed amount for one stitch of forward stitching is set. In the feed amount adjustment part, the forward feed amount which is set by the feed amount setting part is compared with the maximum backward feed amount for one stitch of reverse stitching which is determined by a feed mechanism. Then, in the feed amount adjustment part, when the forward feed amount is larger than the maximum backward feed amount, the total amount of backward feed amounts for plural stitches of backward stitching is adjusted so as to coincide with the total amount of the forward feed amounts for one stitch or more of forward stitching.

  • Publication number: 20100021405
    Abstract: The present invention provides an external preparation for skin comprising a phospholipid having an iodine value of 80 to 110, ethanol in an amount of 55 to 83 wt % and water in an amount of 15 to 43 wt %, which is improved in it's preparation stability by suppressing an increase in an acid value of phospholipid. The present invention also provides an external preparation for skin which is improved in percutaneous absorption of medically effective ingredient(s). The present invention provides further a method for suppressing an increase in an acid value of phospholipid by comprising phospholipid having high iodine value and high concentration of ethanol and water, as well as a method for improving percutaneous absorption of medically effective ingredient(s) in external preparation for skin.
