Abstract: A real-time thermal imaging apparatus and method includes multiple digital infrared cameras mounted to an automated composite material layup device to record digital infrared images of the composite material surface on a real-time basis during a composite material layup process. The digital infrared cameras are triggered periodically to produce digital images of the composite material. The digital image data is sent to an image analyzer which detects edges of and anomalies in the composite material and generates alarm and other process control signals. The image analyzer also aggregates the digital images from the multiple cameras and the digital images recorded over a sequence in time to produce a continuous virtual digital image of the composite material surface. The digital image data and associated analysis results are saved and may be displayed on a real-time basis or at a later time.

Abstract: Controlled release preparation containing a number of insoluble beads applied with one or more pharmaceutically active compounds, a method for the production thereof and the use in a treatment where a controlled release of a pharmaceutically active compound is needed.

Abstract: Controlled release preparation containing a number of beads comprising a salt of metoprolo as the main soluble component, a method for the production thereof and the use in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders.

Abstract: Preparation giving a controlled and extended release of both a dihydropyridine, e.g. felodipine and a .beta.-adrenoreceptor antagonist, namely metoprolol as well as a method for the manufacture of the new preparation.

Abstract: An extended release perparation of an active compound with very low solubility containing the active compound dissolved or dispersed in a semi-solid or liquid non-ionic solubilizer and whereby the amount by weight of the solubilizer is at least equal to the amount by weight of the active compound as well as a process for the preparation thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to gastric acid neutralizing compositions comprising dried aluminum hydroxide in suspension form, whereby the composition as suspension stabilizing and suspension forming agent comprises a hydrogenated, hydrolyzed glucose polymer in an amount of 2 to 30% by weight. By way of this content of the glucose polymer the amount of gastric acid neutralizing substance can be increased whereby smaller doses can be administered in obtaining gastric acid neutralization.

Abstract: A solid pharmaceutical preparation for administration in dosage unit form comprising a therapeutically effective cardiac glycoside, whereby each dosage unit is to comprise a plurality of bodies, each of said bodies having a pharmaceutically indifferent core, a first layer thereon containing the glycoside and a second layer containing a polymer insoluble in gastric juice and soluble in intestinal juice, a process for preparing such preparation and a method of treatment employing the same.
