  • Patent number: 6613307
    Abstract: The present invention relates to formulations comprising particulate products which may be prepared by methods and apparatus using supercritical fluids. More particularly, the invention relates to formulations comprising certain crystalline forms of 4-hydroxy-&agr;1-[[[6-(4-phenylbutoxy)hexyl]amino]methyl]-1,3-benzenedimethanol (salmeterol) 1-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylate (xinafoate). Accordingly, the present invention provides an aerosol pharmaceutical formulation comprising salmeterol xinafoate with a controlled particle size, shape and morphology, and a fluorocarbon, hydrogen-containing fluorocarbon or hydrogen-containing chlorofluorocarbon propellant.

  • Patent number: 5651235
    Abstract: In a system of packaging of foodstuffs in containers (12), each container (12) has a closure of aluminium/LDPE laminate formed with a central tear panel (322) which either has a pull-tab (402) rivetted thereto or is connected to a pull-tab (321) at an, edge of the closure (1) by a narrow tear strip (323) extending up, over and down the rim of the container (12). The closures (1) are conveyed in horizontal positions pneumatically from a closure-manufacturing machine towards a downwardly inclined, vibrating, tranpsort box (110) and tilted pneumatically into vertical positions as they approached the box (110) for stacking in the box (110).
