Abstract: The present invention relates to a dry blend, used for forming azithromycin tablets by direct compression, comprising non-dihydrate azithromycin and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. This invention also relates to an azithromycin tablet comprising non-dihydrate azithromycin and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. Preferably, the azithromycin tablet is formed by directly compressing the dry blend, of the present invention, to form said azithromycin tablet. Preferably, the azithromycin tablet, of the present invention, contains a dosage of 250 mgA, 500 mgA or 600 mgA of azithromycin. This invention further relates to an azithromycin tablet which is produced by forming a dry blend of a non-granulated azithromycin form A and at least one pharmaceutically acceptable excipient. The azithromycin tablet is then formed by directly compressing the dry blend.

Abstract: A vehicle steering device may include a rotatable input shaft, a motor in communication with an input augmentation shaft, the input augmentation shaft and the input shaft sharing a longitudinal axis, and the motor further having a stator stationary with respect to rotation of the input shaft. The vehicle steering device may further include a differential mechanism for providing variable ratio steering to the steering device. The differential mechanism may be a harmonic drive differential or a planetary gearing system. In one embodiment, an external wave generator may be used within the harmonic drive differential gearing mechanism. The vehicle steering device may include a sensorless synchronous machine.

Abstract: This invention relates to a powder for oral suspension, and an oral suspension made therefrom, which comprises non-dihydrate azithromycin and an azithromycin conversion stabilizing excipient, wherein said excipient reduces the conversion of the form of azithromycin, when placed in suspension, to another form of azithromycin. This invention further relates to a method for reducing the conversion of a form of non-dihydrate azithromycin, in an oral suspension, by adding a surface tension reducing excipient that reduces the surface tension of the aqueous vehicle. Furthermore, this invention relates to a method for reducing the conversion of a non-dihydrate azithromycin, in an unflavored oral suspension, by raising the viscosity of the oral suspension, and in a flavored oral suspension by lowering the viscosity of the oral suspension.
