Patent number: 11964430Abstract: A method of additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects, and/or a method of controlling one or more irradiation parameters of the energy beam system, may include determining an irradiation setting using an irradiation control model and outputting an irradiation control command to an energy beam system based at least in part on the irradiation setting. The irradiation control model may be configured to determine the irradiation setting based at least in part on a power density factor and/or an irradiation vector factor. The irradiation control command may be configured to change one or more irradiation parameters for additively manufacturing a three-dimensional object. An additive manufacturing system may include an energy beam system and a control system that includes an irradiation controller. The irradiation controller may include a control module configured to perform such a method.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignees: Concept Laser GmbH, General Electric CompanyInventors: Juergen Werner, Benjamin Guenther, Lisa Pastuschka, Manuel Acosta

Publication number: 20240082153Abstract: The present invention relates to a formulation of Ivermectin in oral solution which allows proper absorption, enabling the drug to be consumed at any time. In particular, the oral lipid composition is designed with the appropriate selection of a medium-chain triglyceride oil, a hydrophilic cosolvent and an antioxidant, so as to influence the absorption/digestibility of the poorly water-soluble active ingredient and facilitate bioavailability and bioactivity for the administration of the oral solution in drops. The formulation includes Ivermectin in a lipid medium including a cosolvent and an antioxidant in combination with an oily solvent to form an oral solution for administration in drops. The field of the invention is related to improving the bioavailability of insoluble drugs such as Ivermectin for administration in oral drop forms based mainly on lipids without compromising stability or creating impurities.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2020Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Carlos Manuel Padilla Botett, Diego Rafael Monterroza Hernandez, Janice Garcia Vera, Jose Alfredo Acosta Urrea, Alfredo Berthel Beleño
