Abstract: A composition suitable for hot melt extrusion to form thin strips containing active pharmaceutical ingredients is provided. The composition has 10 to 75% by weight of polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight of from 70,000 to 230,000 Daltons; 5 to 35% of a sugar alcohol having a melting point in excess of 75° C.; 5 to 20% by weight of polyethylene glycol having a molecular weight of from 100 to 4,000 Daltons; and 10 to 75% by weight of coated active pharmaceutical ingredient (API).

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions comprising a hydrophobic active agent, a polymer and a reconstitution enhancing agent. Reconstitution of the lyophilized form of the compositions takes less time than in the absence of the enhancing agent.

Abstract: A cutter for use with a pavement router, the pavement router having a pair of cutter supports, the cutter supports being spaced apart a known distance, the cutter includes a plurality of blades disposed radially about a hub, the hub being operably coupled to each of the plurality of blades and having an arbor defined therein along a longitudinal axis, the hub having a certain width dimension taken along the longitudinal dimension, the width dimension being just slightly less than the known distance that the cutter supports are spaced apart so that the hub extends substantially from cutter support to cutter support when disposed between the pair of cutter supports. A method of forming a cutter for use with a pavement router is further included.

Abstract: A dry powder composition comprises recombinant human alpha 1-antitrypsin (rAAAT).

Abstract: The invention described is a bicycle handlebar mounted map holder constructed from folded aluminum sheet with an external bracket to prevent flex of the map holder when riding over rough terrain. The map holder is intended for use in adventure racing or bicycle orienteering to enable the competitor to read the map while keeping both hands on the handlebars.

Abstract: Lignocellulosic-based woodfiber-plastic composite products containing a pesticidal amount of calcium borate is resistant to attack by wood destroying fungi and insects. The preferred calcium borates are the calcium polytriborates having a CaO:B2O3 molar ratio of about 2:3 and calcium hexaborates, having a CaO:B2O3 ratio of 1:3. Composites can be produced by combining the calcium borate with particles of the lignocellulosic material and the thermoplastic resin binder, and heating and extruding the resultant mixture through a die to form the composite product.
