Currently, two osmotically controlled delivery systems that are widely used for water-insoluble drug are monolithic osmotic tablet (MOT) and push-pull osmotic pump (PPOP). In the present study, lappaconitine solid dispersion monolithic osmotic tablet (lappaconitine-SD-MOT) and lappaconitine-PPOP were developed. The prepared lappaconitine-PPOP was able to delivery drug at the rate of approximate zero-order (r = 0.9931), and the cumulative release was above 95.0%. The lappaconitine-SD-MOT showed a comparatively poor linearity when the data were plotted according to the zero-order equation (r = 0.9798), and the cumulative release was 84.69%. Lappaconitine-PPOP exhibited better controlled drug release (higher regression value) compared with lappaconitine-SD-MOT. The similarity index (f2) between lappaconitine-PPOP and lappaconitine-SD-MOT was 49.1 (〈50). A clear difference of drug release characteristics between the lappaconitine-SD-MOT and lappaconitine-PPOP was revealed. It indicated that the drug release performance of lappaconitine-PPOP could gain favorable zero-order kinetics and higher cumulative release compared with lappaconitine-SD-MOT. Therefore, these results suggested that PPOP was still a very effective device for the delivery of poorly water-soluble drug with zero-order pattern.展开更多

Quercetin-PVP solid dispersion was prepared to enhance its solubility and dissolution rate. Solid dispersion, suspending agents, osmotic agents and other conventional excipients were used as tablet core composition and cellulose acetate (CA) with plasticizer as release controlling membrane. Different formulation variables, the amounts of PEO (polyethylene oxide), NaC1, plasticizer, and coating weight gain were optimized to gain the optimum formulation. The mechanism of drug release from monolithic osmotic tablet was also discussed. The optimal monolithic osmotic pump tablet could deliver quercetin at the rate of approximate zero-order up to 12 h, and the cumulative release was 90.74%. The developed monolithic osmotic system for quercetin loaded by solid dispersion was found to be a promising approach for controlled release of poorly-water soluble drug candidates.展开更多

In this paper,a monolithic thermal vacuum sensor based on a micro-hotplate (MHP) and operating under constant bias voltage conditions was designed. A new monolithic integrating mode was proposed,in which the dielectric and passiva- tion layers in standard CMOS processes were used as sensor structure layers,gate polysilicon as the sacrificial layer,and the second polysilicon layer as the sensor heating resistor. Then, the fabricating processes were designed and the monolithic thermal vacuum sensor was fabricated with a 0. 6μm mixed signal CMOS process followed by sacrificial layer etching technology. The measurement results show that the fabricated monolithic vacuum sensor can measure the pressure range of 2- 10^5 Pa and the output voltage is adjustable.展开更多

The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET) and examined in the catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The results showed that the well-dispersed nanometer particles of mixed oxides adhered firmly to the cordierite surface. Cu0.15Mn0.3Ce55/cordierite was identified as the most active catalyst. Compared with commercial Pd/Al2O3, Cu0.15Mn0.3Ce55/cordierite showed higher activities for the combustion of various types of VOCs, especially for oxy-derivative compounds which could be lighted off below 200 ℃.展开更多

文摘A novel AIN monolithic microchannel cooled heatsink for high power laser diode array is introduced.The high power stack laser diode array with an AIN monolithic microchannel heatsink is fabricated and tested.The thermal impedance of a 10 stack laser diode array is 0 121℃/W.The pitch between two adjacent bars is 1 17mm.The power level of 611W is achieved under the 20% duty factor condition at an emission wavelength around 808nm.
文摘Monolithic electro absorption modulated distributed feedback(DFB) lasers are proposed and fabricated by using a modified double stack active layer.The 38mA threshold,9dB extinction ratio (from 0 5V to 3 0V),and about 5mW output power at the 100mA operation current are achieved.Compared with other reported results (only 1 5mW at the same operation current) of the traditional stack active structure,the proposed structure improves the output power of devices.

文摘A monolithic series of Cu-Mn-Ce oxides supported on cordierites with different Cu/Mn/Ce molar ratios were prepared by the in-situ sol-gel method without any binder. The catalysts were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method (BET) and examined in the catalytic combustion of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The results showed that the well-dispersed nanometer particles of mixed oxides adhered firmly to the cordierite surface. Cu0.15Mn0.3Ce55/cordierite was identified as the most active catalyst. Compared with commercial Pd/Al2O3, Cu0.15Mn0.3Ce55/cordierite showed higher activities for the combustion of various types of VOCs, especially for oxy-derivative compounds which could be lighted off below 200 ℃.
文摘Two kinds of monolithically fabricated circuits are demonstrated in GaAs-based material systems using resonant tunneling diodes(RTD) and metal-semiconductor-metal photo detectors(MSM PD). The electronic characteristics of these fabricated RTD devices,MSM devices,and integrated circuits are tested at room temperature. The results show that the current peak-to-valley ratio is 4,and the photocurrent at 5V is enhanced by a factor of nearly 9,from 2 to about 18μA by use of recessed electrodes. The working theory and logical functions of the circuits are validated.
