  • Publication number: 20230390205
    Abstract: Provided are pharmaceutical compositions and methods for preparing pharmaceutical compositions using solventless mixing methods. Excess coating material that is not bound to a coated API particle may be removed by a sieving process. Coating and dosing ratios can also be optimized to minimize the amount of excess unbound coating material. Specifically, a coating ratio and/or a dosing ratio can be used to minimize the residual amount of excess unbound coating material to minimize agglomeration of coating material during storage. In some embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition is provided, the pharmaceutical composition comprising: 65-85% w/w API particles; 15-30% w/w coating material coating the API particles; and 3-15% w/w matrix surrounding the coated API particles, wherein the pharmaceutical composition comprises a disintegration time rate of less than 10 seconds for at least six months under storage conditions of at least 25° C. and at least 60% relative humidity.

  • Publication number: 20230241961
    Abstract: A wheel assembly bushing for in-wheel electric motors where the bushing includes a hydraulic chamber positioned within a resilient sleeve of the bushing and a helical fluid channel that extends helically about an inner bushing member between first and second fluid channel ends, which are arranged in fluid communication with the hydraulic chamber. An outer body extends annularly about the resilient sleeve, which permits relative movement between the inner bushing member and the outer body. The fluid channel is configured to produce inertance. This inertance, when combined with other damping and stiffness effects of the wheel assembly bushing, provides phase and magnitude shifts between force and velocity, which ultimately reduce magnetic gap deformation in the in-wheel electric motor.

  • Publication number: 20230065228
    Abstract: An apparatus, method, and/or system is provided for conducting an engine shutdown in a circumstance of a runaway engine event. In a condition where an uncontrolled fuel source is present in the ambient air, there may be a risk of a runaway engine condition in an internal combustion engine. Air taken into an intake system of the engine may include an undesired or uncontrolled combustible component. The method, apparatus, and/or system includes steps, control systems, devices, and mechanisms to prevent opening of at least one intake valve or exhaust valve of at least one cylinder of the engine to stop combustion in the chamber, in response to a condition indicating a possible runaway engine event. The indicator may include an engine overspeed condition, or presence of the combustible component in the intake air.

  • Patent number: 11423944
    Abstract: A method of generating audio-visual content from video game footage is provided. The method comprises obtaining a user-selected audio track and obtaining video game footage. Statistical analysis is performed on the audio track so as to determine an excitement level associated with respective portions of the audio track. Statistical analysis is performed on the video game footage so as to determine an excitement level associated with respective portions of the video game footage. Portions of the video game footage are matched with portions of the audio track, based on a correspondence in determined excitement level. Based on said matching, a combined audio-visual content comprising the portions of the video game footage matched to corresponding portions of the audio track is generated. In this way, calm and exciting moments within the video footage are matched to corresponding moments in the audio track. A corresponding system is also provided.
