Tamper-resistant pharmaceutical compositions have been developed to reduce the likelihood of improper administration of drugs, especially drugs such as opioids. The tamper-resistant compositions retard the release of drug, even if the physical integrity of the formulation is compromised (for example, by chopping with a blade or crushing) and the resulting material is placed in water, snorted, or swallowed. However, when administered as directed, the drug is slowly released from the composition as the composition is passes through the GI tract.

A synthetic mineral paper as substitute to cellulosic paper and a process for producing the same are provided.

A carrier material for producing a decorated wall or floor panel, as well as the corresponding wall or floor panel, may comprise a matrix material and a solid material. The matrix material is present from 25 wt.-% to 55 wt.-% and the solid material is present from 45 wt.-% to 75 wt.-% of the carrier material. The matrix material and the solid material together may be present in an amount of 95 wt.-% of the carrier material. The solid material is formed to at least 50 wt.-% of a solid composition consisting of at least a first layered silicate powder and a second layered silicate powder. The matrix material is formed to at least 50 wt.-% by a plastic composition consisting of a homopolymer and at least a first copolymer and a second copolymer.

A device includes an electromagnetic radiation delivery system such as a laser of light emitting diode infrared emitter configured for delivery of electromagnetic radiation within a sealed canal such as an ear canal, a fiber optic cable configured for delivering or capturing the electromagnetic radiation within the sealed canal, and a photo detector coupled to the fiber optic cable forming a portion of a voice communication system. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A circuit breaker comprises a body made of a nanocomposite material formed by insertion of nano particles of a nano particles material in thermoplastic polymer of a thermoplastic polymer material. A method of reinforcing a material with another material, the method comprises mixing homogenously a thermoplastic polymer material with a nano particles material in a hot process to reinforce the thermoplastic polymer material with the nano particles material and forming a nanocomposite material by insertion of nano particles of the nano particles material in thermoplastic polymer of the thermoplastic polymer material. The nano particles material has a mechanical wear property, a dielectric property and a thermal property of fire retardant.
