Abstract: An apparatus is provided for producing pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical-like product. The apparatus provides real-time monitoring of the pharmaceutical product and can provide real-time control. The apparatus monitors the dosage both before and after it has been added to a carrier substrate. The apparatus can provide monitoring of each pharmaceutical product that is processed.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing a pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical-like product is provided. The apparatus and method dispense a liquid dose onto a carrier substrate. The apparatus and method provide for continuous movement of the carrier substrates during the process. The apparatus and method reduce batch dosage errors and provide real-time release of the product.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for producing a plurality of products or processing a plurality of samples via dispensing. The apparatus and method provide real-time monitoring of the products/samples and can provide real-time control. The apparatus and method can monitor the liquid both before and after it has been added to a carrier substrate. The apparatus and method can provide monitoring of each product/sample that is processed.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical-like product is provided. The product provides an active agent that is not substantially absorbed into a carrier substrate. The active agent can be formed into a film on the surface of the carrier tablet or in a recess in the carrier tablet.

Abstract: A composite adsorbent includes a shaped substrate having an adhesive film on a portion of at least one side and an adsorbent that has been immobilized as a layer on the adhesive portion of the substrate. The composite adsorbent is designed to be shaped into a form that provides a high adsorption capacity, low pressure drop, high volume capacity, and fast adsorption kinetics to effectively adsorb odors over an extended period of time. Optionally, the composite adsorbent is also used in combination with an air permeable unit wherein it is advantageously positioned to provide enhanced adsorption of contaminants found in gas phase.
