Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions for oral administration. The invention preferably comprises at least one abuse-resistant drug delivery composition for delivering a drug having potential for dose dumping in alcohol, related methods of preparing these dosage forms, and methods of treating a patient in need thereof comprising administering the inventive compositions to the patient. Most preferably, the dosage form includes verapamil. These formulations have reduced potential for abuse. In another formulation, preferably the abuse relevant drug is an opioid and the non-abuse relevant drug is acetaminophen or ibuprofen. More preferably, the opioid is hydrocodone, and the non-abuse relevant analgesic is acetaminophen. In certain preferred embodiments, the dosage forms are characterized by resistance to solvent extraction; tampering, crushing or grinding.

Abstract: The invention relates to material systems wherein electrochemical and/or photochemical parallel reactions are completely avoided by stabilising structural modifications, or repressed by orders of magnitude as a result of the structural modifications. The invention also relates to polymer 4,4?-bipyridinium structures, to formulations based on the structures and used for electrochromic active layers, and to the use of 4,4?-bipyridinium structures for producing organic electrochromic displays.

Abstract: The present invention features solid pharmaceutical dosage formulations comprising ritonavir. As a non-limiting example, a dosage form of the present invention comprises a solid dispersion or solid solution of ritonavir in a matrix, where the matrix comprises at least one water-soluble polymer, such as copovidone, and at least one surfactant, such as polyoxyl 40 hydrogenated castor oil or macrogolglycerol hydroxystearate. Preferably, the solid dispersion or solution does not include, or includes only an insignificant amount of, PEG.

Abstract: The invention relates to luminescent compounds with semi-conducting properties, as well as their production and their use in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). The compounds are copolymers comprising a metal complex with a central atom from subgroup 8 of the periodic table of elements.

Abstract: The invention relates to an organic light-emitting diode containing polyurethane with free isocyanate groups for binding any undesirable atmospheric moisture that penetrates the packaging of the diode.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a polymer-free area, characterized by applying at least one peelable layer to the substrate, and/or to one or more polymer layer(s) situated on the substrate, in those areas where a polymer-free area is formed on the substrate by removing the peelable layer. The invention thus provides a method for producing polymer-free bonding areas or, by placing a diode-protecting cap on the polymer-free area of the substrate, a hermetically sealed connection between the substrate and the diode-protecting cap.

Abstract: A component includes a glass substrate, an organic light-emitting diode arranged on the glass substrate, and a glass cover arranged over the organic light-emitting diode. The glass cover is glued to the edge to the glass substrate. The cover is one produced from a glass plate by three-dimensional removal of material using a blasting method.

Abstract: A method of encapsulating components based on organic semiconductors, includes adhesively bonding a housing to a substrate. Bonding is carried out using a UV-curable reactive adhesive including an epoxy resin, a hydroxy-functional reaction product of an epoxide compound with a phenolic compound, a silane-type adhesion promoter, and a photoinitiator, and also if desired, filler. This method is used in particular for encapsulating organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs).

Abstract: The invention is a ready-to-use, water-redispersible powder composition useful for preparing photographic recording materials or inkjet recording materials, which comprises a mixture containing polymers made from ethylenically unsaturated monomers and gelatin, wherein the polymers are prepared by emulsion polymerization in the presence of at least one emulsifier selected from emulsifiers with ionic and nonionic groups and if exclusively ionic emulsifiers are used, the copolymerization is carried out in the presence of comonomers which contain one or more groups selected from --COOH, --OH, SO.sub.3.sup.-, NCH.sub.2 OH and --C.dbd.O.

Abstract: In a constant timing valve for the discontinuous metering of a volume flow, in particular the flow of cooling water flowing through a heat exchanger of a motor vehicle heater, the volume flow flowing through the valve outlet (17) is maintained constant regardless of the magnitude of the volume flow available at the inlet (16) in the valve housing (15) in that a bypass channel (28) is formed which leads from the inlet (16) to a return (18) and is closed by a spring-loaded, pressure-contro led bypass valve (29). The bypass valve (29) is designed in such a way that the excess volume flow flows off via the return (18) when the connection between the inlet (16) and outlet (17) is not blocked, at least after reaching a given minimum pressure in the bypass channel (28). The integrated bypass valve (29) is coupled with the timing valve (14) in such a way it is compulsorily pushed opened by the timing valve (14) when the timing valve (14) is closed (FIG. 1).

Abstract: A motor drive unit for a cable window regulator of reduced depth dimension. The drive unit includes two subassemblies which include elements which are combined to form integral assembly pieces. In this manner, the housing of the subassembly can be reduced in dimension and provide a motor drive unit of overall reduced dimension.

Abstract: In a V-belt drive, the driven sheave is carried on a frame pivoted so that center distance between driver and driven sheaves can change. The position of the frame pivot is chosen so that the torque reaction of the driven load results in an induced torque about the pivot axis tending to increase belt tension appropriately as the driven load increases.

Abstract: A device for winding coils for electric motors is improved by simplifying the gripping element that holds and grips the wires. The device includes a winding template, a winding nozzle, a receiver for the coils, and the gripping element. In previous devices, the gripping element is moved in three dimensions, requiring a relatively complex system to control its motion. In the present invention, the gripping element is moved in two dimensions only which simplifies its construction and control, but without sacrificing any of its functions.
