A dosage form is disclosed comprising a coat that surrounds a drug. The coat comprises a subcoat and an overcoat thermally annealed to provide a single unit coat around the drug.

This invention provides smooth delivery and accurate positioning of prostheses in the body. In embodiments, systems are provided that include elongate members extending generally along the axis of a supporting catheter to a free ends. The elongate members extend through openings in the prosthesis to maintain the position of the prosthesis on the catheter. The prosthesis can be released from the catheter by relative axial motion of the catheter and the elongate members such that the free ends are...

A fly (insect) control program is implemented by the disclosed fly tape delivery system having source spool assembly and a take-up spool assembly, providing for fly tape to be extended between the two assemblies located at spaced apart locations with premises to be protected. Each spool assembly includes a hub and a reel adapted for being carried by the hub in selectively latched and unlatched positions, the reel of the source spool assembly providing a rolled length of fresh fly tape, and the r...

The present invention relates to chemical delivery systems and methods for delivery of liquid chemicals. In one embodiment, the present invention relates to systems having multi-reservoir load cell assemblies for delivering chemicals used in the semiconductor industry. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a multi-reservoir load cell assembly, including a controller, a buffer reservoir, a main reservoir, one or more load cells, coupled to the assembly and to the controller, operable ...

A catheter for transvascular deployment of a radially compressible medical device has a tubular outer body within which is slidably mounted an inner tubular sheath which in turn houses a guide wire which is axially movable through the sheath. The medical device is mounted on the guide wire and can be collapsed within the sheath and body for deployment. An outer distal end of the sheath is provided with circumferentially spaced-apart axial slits extending proximally from the distal end of the she...

The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for delivering or dispensing substances. The delivery apparatus comprises a housing, a cartridge for containing the fluid or liquid to be delivered, a conduit system, a nozzle, a pump and an actuating mechanism for actuating a stream of fluid or liquid. The delivery apparatus may include a motor and power source adapted to power the pump. The cartridge containing the fluid or liquid is typically an off-the-shelf container that may be purch...

A manually-actuated device for the deliver of a volume of liquid which includes an outlet through which liquid is in use delivered and a cover member which is movably disposed relative to the housing between a first position in which the cover member at least partly covers the outlet and a second position in which the cover member acts as a lever which in use is acted upon by a user to actuate the delivery device.

The invention relates to a delivery unit (2) comprising a swirl pot (5), a fuel pump (6) placed therein, and a filter, which is placed on the bottom (7) of the swirl pot (5) and which is radially flowed against. This filter is formed by shaped elements axially protruding from the bottom (7) of the swirl pot (5) whereby forming an axially extending gap (11, 11a, 11b) between every two adjacent shaped elements (10), and the filter surrounds an inlet opening (13) located in the bottom (7) of the sw...

A system for delivering content to a terminal includes a secure content server. The server includes a database in which content delivery conditions are defined. At least one of the delivery conditions relates to a location at which it is permissible to render content. A request from a terminal to deliver content for rendering will be accepted provided the terminal is determined to be within the pre-defined location.

The invention relates to compounds which are useful in the delivery of a wide variety of therapeutically useful molecules. In particular, the invention relates to compounds which are able to act as carriers for therapeutically useful molecules, and to pharmaceutical agents comprising these carriers. The compounds of the invention comprise a mono- or oligosaccharide, a lipidic moiety, and optionally a linker and/or a spacer. The pharmaceutical agents of the invention are particularly useful for o...
