| 20100233252 | Low-Moisture-Content Hard Capsule and Production Method Therefor - A method is provided for the production of hard capsules having a low moisture content and low hygroscopicity, as well as a method for reducing the moisture content and hygroscopicity of hard capsules produced by a gel cooling process using, as principal components, a water-soluble cellulose compound and a gelling agent. The hard capsules have a water-soluble cellulose compound, gelling agent, and, if necessary, a gelling aid that has loss on drying, after 10 days of storage at 25° C. and a relative humidity of 53%, of less than 6% by weight. Such a hard capsule can be produced by heating a gelled capsule film to 50-150° C. before, after, or simultaneously with a drying step after a gelling step in a gel-cooling process for producing a hard capsule having a water-soluble cellulose compound and a gelling agent as principal components. | 09-16-2010 |
| 20100214560 | CARRYING DEVICE AND APPEARANCE INSPECTION DEVICE FOR TEST OBJECTS - A test object carrying device for use in an appearance inspection device for checking the appearance of the test objects, which includes a back/front reversal means | 08-26-2010 |
| 20090030091 | Brown Film Composition and Method for Preparing the Same - The present invention provides a film composition containing caramel (Caramel I, II, III or IV) as a brown colorant, particularly a film composition containing a water-soluble cellulose derivative as a base component and suitably used for a capsule base, the film composition ensuring high degree of transparency because of the suppression of caramel aggregation. The present invention also provides a method for preparing the brown film composition. The present invention is enforced by adjusting pH of an aqueous solution in forming a film composition, which is obtained by solidification of an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble cellulose derivative and caramel, to a predetermined range using a pH adjuster. | 01-29-2009 |
| 20090010975 | Non-transparent composition for film - The present invention provides a non-transparent film composition that has light-shielding properties and can thereby maintain the stability and quality of products, such as formulations, for a long period of time; and formulations using this film composition, and particularly filled capsules. The non-transparent film composition contains a water-soluble metal compound containing at least one metal selected from the group consisting of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, aluminium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, strontium, and barium; and a water-soluble cellulose derivative. The non-transparent film composition is preferably prepared by: spreading an aqueous solution containing a water-soluble cellulose derivative and a water-soluble metal compound containing a monovalent, divalent or trivalent metal into a film- or sheet-like form; and heating the solution at a temperature of 60° C. or higher to obtain the film composition by drying and solidification. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20080254111 | Bandseal for peg-filled hard capsule - The present invention provides a band seal for hard capsules filled with PEG, particularly a low-molecular-weight PEG, PEG | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080245289 | Moisture Indicator and Time Indicator - The present invention provides a film or a sheet-like moisture indicator that allows one to visually recognize moisture by changing from a non-transparent color such as white to transparent when it is moistened. The present invention also provides a film or a sheet-like time indicator that allows one to visually recognize the passage of a predetermined length of time by becoming transparent when it is moistened. | 10-09-2008 |
