Abstract: Formulations and methods are provided for improving the stability upon exposure to aqueous media of polypeptides present in non-aqueous suspension vehicles. In particular aspects of the invention, formulations are provided that comprise a complex of a metal ion and a polypeptide suspended in a non-aqueous, biocompatible suspension vehicle. Aggregation of individual polypeptide molecules is reduced when aqueous media is introduced to such formulations, serving to stabilize the polypeptide.

Abstract: An engine air intake tract includes a flexible air intake duct having a flexible tubular body. A plurality of radially extending convolutes are formed in and spaced apart on an axially extending outer wall of the tubular body. Each convolute has a circumferential ring-shaped inwardly extending peak bordered by outwardly extending troughs. A liquid sump is formed into a lower portion of the tubular body and includes a plurality of spaced sump chambers with each chamber formed between and connected to at least two adjacent ones of the convolutes and extending radially outwardly from the convolutes.

Abstract: An osmotic delivery system flow modulator includes an outer shell constructed and arranged for positioning in an opening, an inner core inserted in the outer shell, and a fluid channel having a spiral shape defined between the outer shell and the inner core. The fluid channel is adapted for delivery of an active agent formulation from the reservoir of the osmotic delivery system.

Abstract: The present invention is related to materials and methods for forming polymeric delivery vehicles that reduces risk of oxidative degradation of a carried drug and the resulting compositions.

Abstract: There is described an electric vehicle charging station for charging an electric vehicle, comprising: an electrical connector electrically connectable to a source of electrical energy, the electrical connector adapted for connecting to a battery of the electric vehicle; a frame having a connector receiving portion for receiving the electrical connector; a locking unit mounted to the frame for preventing a user access to the electrical connector; and a control unit operatively connected to the locking unit, the control unit for verifying rights of a user to access the electrical connector and unlocking the locking unit upon successful verification of the user rights to provide the user access to the electrical connector.

Abstract: A filter assembly may include a housing, a filter element, and a layer of air-permeable material. The housing may include an inlet and an outlet. The filter element may be disposed within the housing and may include an upstream face, a downstream face, a first end face facing the inlet and extending between the upstream and downstream faces. The layer of air-permeable material may be attached to the filter element and may cover the upstream face and a portion of the first end face that is exposed to the inlet.

Abstract: A modular charging station for charging an electric vehicle, the modular charging station comprising: a frame having a receiving portion; a control unit removably secured to the receiving portion of the frame and electrically connectable to a source of electrical energy, the control unit for selectively controlling access to the electrical energy; and a distributing unit removably secured to the frame, electrically connected to the control unit for receiving the electrical energy therefrom, and electrically connectable to the electric vehicle for providing the electrical energy to the electric vehicle, a powering of the distributing unit being controlled by the control unit.

Abstract: An osmotic delivery system flow modulator includes an outer shell constructed and arranged for positioning in an opening, an inner core inserted in the outer shell, and a fluid channel having a spiral shape defined between the outer shell and the inner core.

Abstract: A nonaqueous, single-phase vehicle that is capable of suspending an active agent. The nonaqueous, single-phase vehicle includes at least one solvent and at least one polymer and is formulated to exhibit phase separation upon contact with an aqueous environment. The at least one solvent may be selected from the group consisting of benzyl benzoate, decanol, ethyl hexyl lactate, and mixtures thereof and the at least one polymer may be selected from the group consisting of a polyester, pyrrolidone, ester of an unsaturated alcohol, ether of an unsaturated alcohol, polyoxyethylenepolyoxypropylene block copolymer, and mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the at least one solvent is benzyl benzoate and the at least one polymer is polyvinylpyrrolidone. A stable, nonaqueous suspension formulation that includes the nonaqueous, single-phase vehicle and an active agent, and a method of forming the same, are also disclosed.
