Abstract: A hull for a semi-submersible wind turbine platform capable of floating on a body of water and supporting a wind turbine includes a keystone and at least three bottom beams extending radially outward of the keystone. Each bottom beam has a primary beam portion and a column base portion, wherein the column base portion is configured to support an outer column of the hull thereon, and wherein the primary beam portion defines a first ballast compartment therein. The first ballast compartment is in fluid communication with water in the body of water in which the hull is floating.

Abstract: An auxiliary display for displaying pictures and other material in connection with electronic display devices. The auxiliary display is made in a frame attachable to an electronic display such as a monitor, wherein the frame includes an outer member having an opening and a backing for the outer member for suspending a photo against the opening. The suspension can be against a trap door, which is closable by rotatable fasterners against the backing.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical formulation is provided in powder form by spray drying to form a polymeric coated core element which coating both masks the taste of the active ingredient present in the core and provides sustained release properties.

Abstract: A tetracycline pharmaceutical composition having a core element containing a tetracycline antibiotic and a core coating which dissolves more slowly in the stomach than in the intestine. Administration of the composition to a human results in drug concentrations in the blood which are bioequivalent to those achieved with immediate release formulations.
