Abstract: Methods and pharmaceutical unit dosage forms for treating Parkinson's disease in a subject (e.g., an “off” episode in a subject having Parkinson's disease) are described. The pharmaceutical unit dosage forms are films having a first portion including particles containing an acid addition salt of apomorphine and a second portion containing a pH neutralizing agent. The pharmaceutical unit dosage forms can be flexible and have toughness greater than 100 g×mm. The methods can involve administering to a subject having Parkinson's disease a therapeutic dose sufficient to produce an apomorphine plasma concentrate of at least 2.64 ng/mL within 45 minutes after the administration. The subject may be identified as having low uptake, medium uptake, or high uptake of apomorphine administered via oral mucosa.

Abstract: The invention features sublingual film formulations of dopamine agonists and methods of treating Parkinson's disease, tremors, restless leg syndrome, sexual dysfunction, and depressive disorders therewith.

Abstract: A method of fabricating an object is provided. The method includes depositing a first material between second material such that the second material is at opposite sides of the first material, the first material forming a metal, ceramic, or metal-ceramic. The second material is selectively removable from the first material to reveal sidewalls of the first material so that the first material has a more uniform vertical profile than would be the case if the first material was deposited without the second material.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and apparatuses for supplying powder to a powder bed during an additive manufacturing process. A recoater apparatus includes a powder reservoir and a powder distribution system for conveying powder from the powder reservoir to the powder bed. The recoater apparatus further includes at least two sweep strips, wherein at least one exit of the powder distribution system is located between the two sweep strips so as to shield the exit of the powder distribution system.

Abstract: An automotive vehicle having a power-actuated ramp includes a vehicle body having a roof, front portion, rear portion, opposed side portions, and a floor that cooperate to define a passenger area. At least one door provides boarding and alighting relative to the passenger area, which defines a flat area of the floor adapted to receive a mobility device. A ramp cartridge is operatively supported by and received within a recessed section of the floor and includes a frame assembly having a main deck and cooperating with and being substantially coplanar with the flat area to provide a substantial flatness of the floor, a ramp assembly having a ramp that is adapted to be retained in a stored position below the main deck, and a drive assembly adapted to actuate the ramp between the stored position and a first ramp position and between the stored position and a second ramp position.
