PURPOSE:To obtain a solid drug preparation in high yield of granule and high workability, generating little dust, by forming a composition containing beta-1,4- glucan powder having specific average particle diameter and specific surface area using a dry granulation or dry powder compression molding process. CONSTITUTION:A drug-active component is added with beta-1,4-glucan powder having an average...

A method for minimizing the amount of nitrogen oxide pollutants produced in a process for firing a furnace using oxygen or an oxygen-enriched gas as the oxidant, in which furnace gases are aspirated into the oxidant jet prior to combustion and in which the furnace is operated using alternating low firing rate and high firing rate periods, by delaying the injection of oxidant at the high rate at th...

PURPOSE:To reduce power consumption and keep an increase in the internal temperature of a recording device below a fixed level to prevent deterioration of printing quality by providing an ink fixing device consisting of a plurality of heat generating elements which heat recording sheet from the opposite side of a recording head and a control means for causing a plurality of heat generating element...

What is disclosed is an adjustable wide-slit extrusion nozzle containing a distributor channel having a straight exit edge and a cross-section taken from the supply port for the nozzle to one end thereof which corresponds to the equation: Ri=Ro(b/B)1/3, wherein: B is the width of the distributor channel from the supply port to one end of the channel; b is a width coordinate measured from one end o...
