Patent number: 9789068Abstract: It has been desired to develop a coating composition, which is used for an orally-administered preparation having an improved administering property, and/or an easily administrable preparation that does not affect dissolution property. The present invention provides a coating composition comprising: a first thickener selected from the group consisting of a carboxyvinyl polymer and sodium alginate; a polyvalent metal compound; at least one type of a second thickener selected from the group consisting of xanthan gum, guar gum and sodium alginate, with the proviso that when the first thickener is sodium alginate the second thickener is not sodium alginate; and sucralose.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2017Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Mochida Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yumio Kudou, Kuniomi Warabino, Hiromitsu Ito

Patent number: 9789069Abstract: An authenticable and machine readable coating for pills, tablets and other ingestible materials is provided. The disclosure also relates to methods of authenticating the same. The coatings are formed from a lattice of particles stacked to cause selective diffraction such that each pill or tablet has an optical signature. The signature associated with each coating can be read and authenticated. In one embodiment, the particles are substantially spherical and self-organized. In one embodiment, generally recognized as safe (GRAS) materials are used to form the particles.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2012Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Spectra Systems CorporationInventor: Nabil M. Lawandy
