| 20100233258 | TABLET HAVING CONCAVITY WITH ACTIVE INGREDIENT DISPOSED THEREIN AND MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF - The present invention provides a method of manufacturing tablets. An example of the method involves preparing a placebo blend containing only excipients. This placebo blend is compressed into tablets having concavities such as pinholes or indentations. Separately, a dispersion containing an active pharmaceutical ingredient, a drug, or a drug substance is prepared. A predetermined amount of this dispersion is placed into those concavities, and the tablets are dried. In this method, an active ingredient is handled in the form of a dispersion rather than as a solid. In addition, once the tablets are dried, the active ingredient is trapped inside the concavities and remains unexposed to external physical friction. As a result, human contact with powders or dust of active ingredient during the manufacturing and shipping processes may be minimized in a cost-effective manner. The present invention is also directed to the tablets prepared by this method. | 09-16-2010 |

| 20090326291 | SELECTIVE HYDROGENATION OF UNSATURATED ALIPHATIC HYDROCARBONS IN PREDOMINANTLY AROMATIC STREAMS - The selective saturation of unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbons (e.g., diolefins) in a hydrogenation feed stream comprising an aromatic compound (e.g., benzene) and one or more nitrogen compounds renders is beneficial when the stream or a portion thereof is subsequently treated (e.g., with a zeolitic adsorbent) to remove nitrogen. In particular, the selective saturation of, for example, olefins and diolefins prolongs the life of the nitrogen guard bed. In a representative embodiment, the selective hydrogenation is applied to a recycle benzene-containing stream recovered in the separation section (e.g., from the benzene/toluene splitter overhead) of a styrene production process, prior to treatment with a nitrogen guard bed adsorbent. | 12-31-2009 |
