A system for powering a hotel load in a vehicle which has a power supply with a positive pole and a negative pole, an alternator connected to the engine and in direct connection with the power supply, a starter connected to the engine and in direct electrical communication with the power supply. The vehicle also has a power inverter in electrical communication with the power supply through a pair of power inverter cables. The alternator, the starter, and the power inverter are connected in parallel and directly to the power supply.

Electrical power system for vehicles requiring electrical power while the vehicle engine is not running

Spheroid polymer particles are prepared from non-spheroid particles by heating the non-spheroid particles in a liquid medium to a temperature that is above the glass transition temperature or the melting temperature of the polymer and then cooling.

Spheronized polymer particles

Disclosed herein are apparatus and methods for producing emulsions, and, in particular, for maintaining laminar flow during production of emulsions containing microsuspensions. Disclosed herein are columns for receiving a packing material that permits fluid flow through the column. The columns have a periphery that defines an interior cavity in fluid communication with inlets and outlets of the column. Disclosed herein is a method of preparing an emulsion that includes (1) forming a first phase typically containing an organic solvent, a polymer, and one or more biologically active agents and/or chemicals; (2) forming a second phase typically containing water as the second solvent, an emulsion stabilizer and optionally a solvent; and (3) passing the first and the second phases through the column to form a 'water in oil' type emulsion.

Disclosed herein are terpolymers that can function as pressure-sensitive adhesives. The disclosed articles comprise the terpolymers adhered to a release liner. The disclosed implant devices comprise the pressure-sensitive adhesive terpolymer adhered to a surface thereof. The pressure-sensitive adhesive terpolymer can promote adhesion of the implant device to a location in a subject.

Terpolymers as pressure-sensitive adhesives

Described herein are implant devices, kits comprising the implant devices, and methods of making and using the devices and kits. In one aspect, a plurality of implant devices comprises at least two implants that exhibit a different release profile of a bioactive agent. In another aspect, an implant device comprises one or more adjoined polymer bodies, wherein at least two of the polymer bodies provide a different release profile of a bioactive agent. In another aspect, a kit comprises one or more disclosed implant devices. In another aspect, methods of delivering a bioactive agent to a subject comprise administering to the subject one or more disclosed implant devices.

Implant devices that differ by release profile and methods of making and using same

Disclosed herein are blends prepared from polyester terpolymers that function as pressure-sensitive adhesives. The disclosed articles comprise the terpolymer blends adhered to a release liner. The disclosed implant devices comprise the pressure-sensitive adhesive blend adhered to a surface thereof. The pressure-sensitive adhesive blend can promote adhesion of the implant device to a location in a subject.

Terpolymer blends and their use as pressure-sensitive adhesives

Described herein are methods for reducing and achieving the desired release of an agent from a delivery system. The desired release kinetics are achieved by exposing the surface of the delivery system with a fluid for a desired period of time.
