  • Patent number: 11762024
    Abstract: A system and structure determines when or if a utility cart is entering a restricted geographical area, and can disrupt the ignition of the cart to prevent or at least stop such use. The system can also determine a safe time and location for such ignition disruption. A monitoring device can remotely and reliably monitor the state of charge of the cart's battery, even for carts of a range of different battery energy capacities, rated voltage, and technical makeup, and communicate such information to a computer system. A standalone device can be retrofitted onto an existing golf cart without requiring fundamental changes to the cart's initial construction. The device can include an inexpensive module that can reliably monitor the battery state and implement ignition cutoff without requiring software processing capacity within the module.

  • Patent number: 11116728
    Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprises multiparticulates comprising a melt-congeal core and a solid amorphous dispersion layer of a poorly water soluble drug and polymer. The multiparticulates are suitable for improving bioavailability of poorly water soluble drugs. The melt-congeal cores facilitate application of the solid amorphous dispersion layer, and allow incorporation of additional optional components to the core so as to adjust the release of drug from the multiparticulate.

  • Publication number: 20160205996
    Abstract: A method of producing a smoking article is disclosed. The smoking article comprises a smoke constituent reducing technology which is capable of reducing the concentration of a smoke constituent generated by a smoking article in use. The method comprises in a first step, determining one or more first lateral regions at which, when the smoking article is in use, the smoke constituent is present at a first concentration, and one or more second lateral regions at which, when the smoking article is in use, the smoke constituent is present at a second concentration which is lower than the first concentration. In a second step, the method comprises producing a smoking article in which the smoke constituent reducing technology is targeted to reduce the concentration of the smoke constituent present at the one or more first lateral regions.
