Communication system with enhanced partial power source and method of manufacturing same
The system of the present invention includes a conductive element, an electronic component, and a partial power source in the form of dissimilar materials. Upon contact with a conducting fluid, a voltage potential is created and the power source is completed, which activates the system. The electronic component controls the conductance between the dissimilar materials to produce a unique current signature. The system can also measure the conditions of the environment surrounding the system.
SOLID DOSAGE FORM COMPOSITION FOR BUCCAL OR SUBLINGUAL ADMINISTRATION OF CANNABINOIDS
The present invention relates to solid dosage forms of cannabinoid pharmaceutical formulations comprising a solvated cannabinoid for buccal or sublingual administration, and methods of making and using the same.
Verification method
The present invention relates to a verification method of tablets, in particular pharmaceutical tablets. It further relates to an invisible secure marking or information which is a part of such tablet. The invention further relates to tablets suitable for such verification method, to processes for manufacturing such tablets and methods for reading the information.
OBJECT MATCHING DEVICE
An object matching device includes an acquiring unit, an extracting unit, and a determining unit. The acquiring unit acquires an image of an object to be matched with a character printed thereon. The extracting unit extracts a partial image of predetermined size including the character as a matching partial image from the image. The determining unit compares the matching partial image with a registration partial image acquired from an object to be registered and registered in advance, and thereby determines an identity of the object to be matched and the object to be registered.
PHARMA-INFORMATICS SYSTEM
An apparatus that includes a partial power source including a first material and a second material, the partial power source configured to generate, upon contact with a conducting medium, a potential difference between the first material and the second material to provide power to a control device, and generate, using the first material and the second material, a current flow within the conducting medium, the current flow including information encoded based on a variable conductance between the first material and the second material.
Solid dosage form composition for buccal or sublingual administration of cannabinoids
The present invention relates to solid dosage forms of cannabinoid pharmaceutical formulations comprising a solvated cannabinoid for buccal or sublingual administration, and methods of making and using the same.
Electronics miniaturization platform for medication verification and tracking
A drug delivery form includes a drug and electronics. The electronics includes memory(ies) having drug delivery form information, including information about the drug and about at least part of a supply chain from manufacture of the drug delivery form to a current location in the supply chain. The electronics includes communication circuitry configured to read data from and write data to the drug delivery form information. An apparatus includes memory(ies) having computer readable code, and processor(s). The processor(s) cause the apparatus to perform operations including communicating with a drug delivery form including a drug and drug delivery form information, including information about the drug and about at least part of a supply chain from manufacture of the drug delivery form to a current location in the supply chain. The processor(s) cause the apparatus to perform reading data from or writing data into the drug and drug delivery form information.
Communication system with partial power source
The system of the present invention includes a conductive element, an electronic component, and a partial power source in the form of dissimilar materials. Upon contact with a conducting fluid, a voltage potential is created and the power source is completed, which activates the system. The electronic component controls the conductance between the dissimilar materials to produce a unique current signature. The system can be used in a variety of different applications, including as components of ingestible identifiers, such as may be found in ingestible event markers, e.g., pharma-informatics enabled pharmaceutical compositions.
ELECTRONIC MEDICATION COMPLIANCE MONITORING SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
A system and method for monitoring a patient's compliance with a medication regimen includes an electronic tag integral with or attached to a medicine delivery device such as a capsule, the tag haying an antenna and a receiver/transmitter, the system also including a reader positioned externally for detecting the presence and location of the delivery device in the patient.
Apparatus, System and Method for Facilitating Tracking of Consumable Pharmaceutical Articles
Embodiments of an apparatus, system and method for facilitating the tracking of consumable pharmaceutical articles are disclosed. A marking apparatus is configured to apply unique indelible identifiers to pharmaceutical articles at the point-of-sale. The indelible identifiers on the articles are visually or electronically readable to allow each respective article to be traced with respect to its manufacturer, prescribing physician, patient to whom it was prescribed, dispensing location, expiration date, dosage, or some combination thereof. An associated system and method may involve the provision of a remote database element configured to be in network communication between the marking apparatus, manufacturer, distributor, prescriber, dispensing location, scanning tool, or some combination thereof. The indelible identifier may initially be generated by the apparatus and then obtained and recorded by the remote database element. Alternative, the indelible identifier may initially be generated and recorded by the remote database element, then provided to the marking apparatus.
