Patent number: 11529419Abstract: There is provide an extended release dosage form comprising a release modifying excipient comprising high amylose starch, cross-linked hydroxypropylated amylopectin, and a pre-gelatinized common starch; wherein the release modifying excipient is substantially free of crosslinks between amylose and amylopectin and substantially free of crosslinks between amylose and amylose. It has been found that the extended release properties of conventional cross-linked high amylose starches (e.g., Contramid®) can be reproduced by intimately mixing i) cross-linked chemically modified amylopectin; ii) a high amylose, non-chemically modified starch and; iii) a pre-gelatinized common starch. Producing a release modifying excipient in this way means that no chemical cross linking between (a) amylose and amylopectin or (b) amylose and amylose has occurred—properties heretofore considered vital for Contramid® function.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2021Date of Patent: December 20, 2022Assignee: ALTUS FORMULATION INC.Inventors: Marc Lemieux, Bradut Mitrasca, Sonia Gervais, Damon Smith

Patent number: 10781694Abstract: A system and method for pit design that that operates directly on a geological model without creating a three dimensional block model thereby minimizing modeling dilution. A resource in a deposit may be divided into a set of base resource units that closely conform to the resource geometry and value distribution and that can be mined by the equipment assumed to perform the excavation. A resource increment (RI) is defined by a base resource unit and any resource and waste over the base resource unit which is assumed to be excavated in conformance with slope stability and safe practices forming an approximation of a truncated inverted cone. A systematic sorting and grouping process of the RIs iterates down a list of RIs and identifies RIs and/or RI groups that add value to the pit while excluding RIs and/or RI groups that do not add value.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2016Date of Patent: September 22, 2020Inventor: Marc Lemieux

Publication number: 20200041807Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) display is provided, including an array of LEDs comprising a first set of LEDs, and a second set of LEDs, alternating with the first set of LEDs, in a grid pattern. A driver drives the first and second set of LEDs according to, respectively, a first and second image. The display further includes a monolithic wire-grid polarizer, in front of the array, comprising first and second regions configured to respectively polarize light from the first and second set of LEDs, according to, respectively, a first linear polarization state and a second linear polarization state perpendicular to the first linear polarization state. The first and second regions are respectively aligned with the first and second sets of LEDs. A quarter-wave retarder is located in front of the wire-grid polarizer, for converting the first and second linear polarization states into respective circular polarization states.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2018Publication date: February 6, 2020Inventors: Darren PASTRIK, Bryan HEMPHILL, Marc LEMIEUX, Mark LAMM

Publication number: 20160214329Abstract: A method of preparing a composite element for forming a composite assembly having a cavity is disclosed. The method includes laying a barrier layer on a surface of the composite element which defines at least part of the cavity. A support assembly including a mandrel (38) and a film bag (40) extending on the surface of the mandrel is positioned with the film bag against the barrier layer. A sealed enclosure containing the composite element is formed through sealing engagement with the film bag. The pressure within the sealed enclosure is reduced, and the mandrel is separated from the film bag while maintaining the film bag positioned against the barrier layer. In one embodiment, the element is a stringer and is positioned against a skin. An assembly for forming a composite member is also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2014Publication date: July 28, 2016Applicant: Bombardier Inc.Inventors: Louis FERNANDES, Marc LEMIEUX, Youenn EURY, Abdelatif ATARSIA
