Mutual Coupling Effects on Pattern Diversity Antennas for MIMO Femtocells
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Diversity antennas play an important role in wireless communications. However, mutual coupling between multiple ports of a diversity antenna has significant effects on wireless radio links and channel capacity. In this paper, dual-port pattern diversity antennas for femtocell applications are proposed to cover GSM1800, UMTS, and WLAN frequency bands. The channel capacities of the proposed antennas and two ideal dipoles with different mutual coupling levels are investigated in an indoor environment. The relation between mutual coupling and channel capacity is observed through investigations of these antennas.

Kashmir White Granite Please help
I am going to have a 10 foot by 5 foot island. The only slab I could find that was a light color and that was long enough was Kashmir. Has anyone used this in a kitchen? honed or polished. What color on the cabinets? I am thinking BM Dove White? Thank you so much for your help
We just had Kashmir White put in a few weeks ago. Polished. They are beautiful, if I do say so myself. Our cabinets have a cherry stain, but we are considering painting them. I think you could go with either a grayish white or a creamy white. Our Kashmir has some warm sandy tones in it as well as the cooler gray. We liked Cloud a White with it. I guess it depends on the other colors in your kitchen
We have Kashmire white with painted gray cabinets and they are beautiful together. We were considering white cabs until we tried the gray, then realized we had found our color.
Which gray did you use? I am really having difficulty trying to find the "right color" Are your counters honed or polished? Also what backsplash. I was thinking about subway tile. I am trying to keep the kitchen light and airy since there is not much natural light. Thank you
Countertops are polished. Backsplash decision is a work in progress. The backsplash is the only thing my DH really cares about. He wants them to be a soft brownish color (he's from NM and loves the dessert). I'm not sold, so we are without backsplash right now. One of my concerns about the brownish backsplash is that it will darken the room.
Cabinets are Conestoga, Hearthstone Grey. We have tons of light, but the gray is really soft anyway so the room appears light. Some people who've seen it haven't picked up that it is gray, they think off-white.
We chose Kashmir White for our 2007 kitchen remodel (we've since moved). We had it with natural maple floors and cherry cabinets. We enjoyed it, but learned that it is definitely one of the more porous granites, which means that you'll get a temporary dark patch where it gets wet. The stains fade away after the slab gets a chance to dry, but it can take a day or two. This was particularly noticeable around the sink, which never really has a chance to dry out. After we purchased ours I did some online research and learned that that some granite professionals consider KW too porous for kitchen use at all (!) and that others say that if you're going to use it, you need to seal it with a product designed for porous stone (like limestone). We used "511 Porous Plus" from Miracle Sealants, which made a big difference.
Here is a link that might be useful: 511 Porous Plus from Miracle Sealants
The guys who installed our Kashmire White used the sealer from Lowes. We have absolutely no spotting or staining, even when water sits over night.
Using the 511 Porous Plus was something like waxing a car. For the first month or so after application, water would "bead up." After 3-4 months, it would become less effective. We applied it about twice a year. With that in mind, I'm skeptical about something called "15 year sealer."
Our installer sealed it 4 times. I'm not sure what he used, but he said it should be good for 15 years or so. He said if we ever see darkening from water he would come seal it again. We've only had it for a few weeks, but it doesn't darken at all with water so far. My DW accidentally got wood stain on the counter last night while staining our new kitchen table. It sat for a few hours before we realized it. I was scared, but it wiped right off.
I was looking for a warm, soft gray for my cabinets and my favorite was Behr 'Campfire Ash'. My cabinetmaker couldn't match it, though, which is how I ended up with Martha Stewart 'Gull' (which is not so much grey).
All the granite fabricators that I spoke to said that River White (which I loved) and Kashmir White were more porous and would need more attention to sealing. Plus, they were both becoming hard to get -- political issues at the mines they said.

October and still flowering....
HerbOctober 19, 2005
.... but no surprise that they're still flowering because we live in Victoria, B.C., where we claim that there's no real winter - just a very prolonged Fall followed by a very early Spring. Some things - e.g. the Sasanqua Camellias - are only now beginning to flower.
This one is a Hebe - really close up, so very much magnified.

I worked at Seattle Public Schools full-timePros
If you have a liberal arts degree, this is probably the highest paying job you'll ever have. After working 55 hours a week for 36 weeks, you'll get that overtime back in two months of summer "vacation," assuming you don't have to take classes--at your own expense--to maintain your teaching license.Cons
Bureaucracy. Bureaucracy. Bureaucracy. HR has auto respond emails for two months stating they are too busy to respond via email or by phone. Teacher evaluation system, which uses SMART goals, is deeply flawed and encourages cheating.
Angry/burned out coworkers yell at and berate students and coworkers. Terrible physical environment to work in, with deteriorating and hazardous infrastructure.
Overloaded classes. Inadequate curriculum and tools. Impossible work load. There aren't enough hours in the week to do this job right or to meet management's demands.
Deadbeat union collects dues but does little to improve working environment. Union doesn't respond to requests for assistance.
Teachers' every move is micromanaged. Teachers are treated like students, not professionals. Admin acts like teachers are there for admin rather than supporting teachers.
Overall atmosphere is politically charged, with blatant political bias in teachers' instruction. Anyone not toeing the Democratic line is ostracized, ideological diversity is discouraged, and groupthink is rampant. Administration squashes anyone who questions. It's "sit down and shut up" management at its finest.
Meetings and "professional development" are soul sucking. Administrators and trainers lecture teachers during meetings rather than using educational best practices to intellectually engage teachers.Advice to ManagementAdvice

This is the show that set the standard for all future musicals by incorporating music, lyrics and dance into a well-crafted serious story. It's also the debut collaboration of one of the most prolific writing teams in American theater history – Rodgers and Hammerstein. Set in the turn of the century Oklahoma Territory, tensions are mounting between the local farmers and cowboys over the use of land. In the midst of it all is the rugged cowboy Curly who's fallen for the strong-headed farm girl, Laurey. Despite their fiery spirits and at times tumultuous relationship, the two are destined to start a new life together in the soon-to-be state called Oklahoma!

30 Years of HIV/AIDS: The war still continues
By Ruchi Naresh
Originally printed 6/9/2011 (Issue 1923 - Between The Lines News)
June marks the 30th year of the discovery of the still-incurable HIV/AIDS. Worldwide, the disease has claimed 30 million lives. On a June 6 conference call, U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius addressed the progress being made in partnership with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Health Resources and Services Administration and the Center for Medicaid and State Operations.
Sebelius said HIV infections in the U.S. have decreased from 130,000 a year in the 1980s to 56,000 a year in the 1990s. She also said that there are now more than 30 licensed drugs that are available in developed countries, and more people get tested for HIV.
But thereÕs much more work to do. Dr. Thomas Frieden, the director of the CDC, said 1.1 million Americans are infected with the virus and too many are unaware of it.
Last July President Barack Obama launched a National HIV/AIDS Strategy. The strategy will help channel resources to the communities most in need with six government agencies taking the lead.
The HRSA started the Ryan White Program in 1990 in order to help those with the disease who do not have insurance. The $2.3 billion program has been instrumental in funding treatments and other services to people living with HIV/AIDS.
Today the program is available in every state and supports almost 1,300 sites. The grant includes the AIDS Drug Assistance Program, also known as ADAP. Mary Wakefield from the HRSA announced an additional $50 million funds for ADAP for the 2011 fiscal year.
The CDC has also increased its domestic budget by $31 million to re-work its overall portfolio. The CDC is working with ObamaÕs National HIV/AIDS strategy on two initiatives: to expand HIV testing and care for people living with the disease, especially for men who have sex with men, which Frieden noted is the only group showing a steady increase in infection rates.
Frieden said the other initiative will encourage those who have HIV to decrease their risk of spreading the disease by taking medication consistently.
The conference call also addressed the important role of Medicaid. Beginning October 2011, ObamaÕs Affordable Care Act will pay for certain community based services as well as other ones. The second option to the Care Act has already been in effect since January, providing care coordination for terminally ill patients including HIV individuals.

Comments about Womens R-Gear Fly In Color Fitted Tights:
These pants are SO cute, but they're a little bit too big...but not big enough for me to return them and get a small. They're fine for everyday activities, I feel they'd be good for yoga or general gym-activities, but they fall off my body when I'm running. Every half mile or so I have to hike them up...which is really uncomfortable. They're also just a little too long...and I tried to shrink them in the washing machine/dryer, but to no avail. Sigh.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens R-Gear Fly In Color Fitted Tights:
I use these pants for 5-12 mile practice runs. These pants are very fashionable, very comfortable as lounge wear or for running errands in something cuter than sweats. However, for running, they are not so great. The thread count and/or elasticity appears low. As I run, the bottom rides up above my ankles and the top slides down my hips. I do notice as I get to mile 2-3, my sweat will cause the pants to stick, then it no longer shifts up nor down. I recommend these for lifting at the gym, walking, or cute lounge wear.

Top Gear is in ruins as the Beeb has suspended Jeremy Clarkson #FreeJeremyClarkson
One of the funny (tragic?) things is that my son and I traveled to Paris and bought tons of bandes desinnees including ones by some of the cartoonists that were murdered by terrorists today.
I stand with them.
Your right to claim blasphemy ends when you set foot outside the mosque.
So, while I can't admit what I may or may not have done in detail myself, one of the most interesting things at Christmas was finding out my dad was indeed part of the precursor to the NSA, confirming what my mom had thought.
Life is fun.
Look, I have an iPhone 5. I've owned iMacs, Mac SE, and my first software I paid for was for the Apple II+.
But I'm not that impressed today.
A watch? Why? Who wears those things? Just look at your phone.
Pay by phone? That was around in the 1980s in Japan and South Korea.
Seriously, what's next, Apple VCRs and Shoulderpads?
Right across the canal
Enough talk. The FCC has decided to end Net Neutrality.
I declare an Internet Fatwa on DC.
As a survivor of the First Use*Net Wars and part of the ARPA*NET 110 baud club, I declare an Internet Fatwa against all of DC.
Let them eat 14.4k!
If I were the Ukraine, I'd sink my ships and block the Russian port right now.
Better than surrendering and there's nothing the Russians can do after that. The port becomes disabled for months.
Just ask the Japanese.
FYI, if you want to mod it up or add keywords, I posted a story to slashdot.
Just thought it was interesting.
The old one was overheating way too much, running 70 C or higher and even shutting down, while my 8 core CPU and everything else ran 20 C to 30 C.
Oh well. Spent half as much as when I bought the current one, got 4 times the memory and double fans.
Today America was freed from Tyranny when the NSA was forced to stop quartering troops in our cell phones.
They still quarter troops in our PCs and xBox Ones though.
They are digging starting a week from Monday at the station next to the UW Tower, since they finished the light rail to UW Husky Stadium. Just some cosmetic shell work and testing to do on that part.
Can you FEEL it?
760 out of 1000 with a few extra bonus points before the exam - the exam is 240 total points so even if I did very badly I pulled a 4.0 and the three practice final exams were 88, 96, and 100 percent so highly unlikely I did badly.
Now for Calculus - again. God I hate that. Never use it. Never have used it. But, resistance is futile.
Section 214 out of the rain - my son will probably go to some of the games with me, but sometimes he has to work
So, don't buy the LG sets - they phone home, with your personal browsing data, in DIRECT violation of my Constitutional Rights as both a US and a Canadian Citizen.
And you can't "click thru" or "sign away" Constitutional Rights in Canada.
So far having fun in my Environmental Science course, pulling an A+ down (yes, I know they don't do such things any more, but my high school transcript is filled with A+ grades).
Skipped four questions (meant to go back, forgot) on the last quizzam, so got a low mark of only 88 out of 100, 3rd highest in class (would have been highest if I hadn't spaced), but since I had accumulated 20 bonus points by having my teams win the last two jeopardy events, still have 8 points left over and a perfect score.
Looking forward to taking two courses after Thanksgiving finals, new calendar up in a few weeks so I can get permission from the instructors. Then I'll be halfway to the Graduate Non-Matriculated PhD entry.
IF I HAD A MINE SHAFT, I don't think I would just abandon it. There's got to be a better way. -- Jack Handley, The New Mexican, 1988.

I would probably like that song more if the performance wasn't so damn amateurish. The percussion and the piano accompaniment sound lazy and uninspired and the guy's voice really doesn't have the tone color he's pretending to. The music itself is alright, but the performance really gets in the way of my enjoying it.

The Kitchen God's Wife (eBook)
The Kitchen God's Wife (eBook)
With the same narrative skills and evocative powers that made her first novel, The Joy Luck Club, a national bestseller, Tan now tells the story of Winnie Louie, an aging Chinese woman unfolding a life's worth of secrets to her suspicious, Americanized daughter.
About the Author
Amy Tan is the author of The Joy Luck Club, The Kitchen God's Wife, The Hundred Secret Senses, The Bonesetter's Daughter, The Opposite of Fate, Saving Fish from Drowning, and two children's books, The Moon Lady and The Chinese Siamese Cat, which has been adapted as Sagwa, a PBS series for children. Tan was also the co-producer and co-screenwriter of the film version of The Joy Luck Club, and her essays and stories have appeared in numerous magazines and anthologies. Her work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages. Tan, who has a master's degree in linguistics from San Jose University, has worked as a language specialist to programs serving children with developmental disabilities. She lives with her husband in San Francisco and New York.
Praise for The Kitchen God's Wife…
"A beautiful book...what fascinates in The Kitchen God's Wife is not only the insistent storytelling but the details of Chinese life and tradition; not only how people lived but how their sensibility shines through, most notably in their speech. Amy Tan has a command with language in which event and concrete perception jump into palpable metaphor, and images from the daily world act like spiritual agents." —Los Angeles Times
"Remarkable...mesmerizing...compelling.... An entire world unfolds in Tolstoyan tide of event and detail....Give yourself over to the world Ms. Tan creates for you." —The New York Times Book Review

The present invention is concerned with the formation of small particles of organic compounds by precipitating said organic compounds in an aqueous medium containing polymer/amphiphile complexes. The process is preferably used to prepare a readily soluble pharmaceutically active compound.
1. A process for preparing small particles comprising an organic compound, the solubility of which is greater in a water-miscible first solvent than in a second solvent which is aqueous, which process comprises the following steps:
(i) dissolving said organic compound in the water-miscible first solvent,
(ii) preparing a solution of polymer and an amphiphile in the aqueous second solvent and in which second solvent the organic compound is substantially insoluble whereby a polymer/amphiphile complex is formed, and
(iii) mixing the solutions from steps (i) and (ii) so as to cause precipitation of an aggregate comprising the organic compound and the polymer/amphiphile complex.
2. A process according to claim 1, wherein the polymer and amphiphile present in the solution produced according to step (ii) are at concentrations below the critical concentration at which free micelles begin to form.
3. A process according to claim 1 wherein flocculation of the precipitated aggregate is achieved by the addition of an electrolyte, and thereafter separation of the aggregate is achieved by means of centrifugation so that aggregates of less than 2 μm in size are separated out.
4. A process according to any one of the preceding claims wherein the polymer and the amphiphile are mixed in solution, interact and are precipitated by the addition of a hydrophobic organic compound.
5. A process according to claim 4 wherein the compound is pharmaceutically active.
6. A process as claimed in claim 5 wherein the pharmaceutically active compound is an antihyperlipidemic agent.
7. A process according to claim 6 in which the polymer is a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant.
The present invention is concerned with the formation of small particles of organic compounds upon precipitation when a solution of such an organic compound in a water-miscible solvent is added to an aqueous medium containing polymer and an amphiphilic compound (surfactant or lipid) at a concentration at which polymer/amphiphile complexes are formed. At said concentrations, the system is a solution below the critical concentration at which free micelles are formed. Upon addition of the organic compound, the compound interacts with the polymer/amphiphile complexes, thus increasing their hydrophobicity and leading to precipitation of organic compound/polymer/amphiphile aggregates.
According to the present invention, a small particle refers to a particle size of less than 2 μm.
The object of the invention is to provide a process for the formation of small particles of organic compounds, especially pharmaceutically active compounds, where such process does not involve emulsification or water-immisicible solvents.
The process is preferably used to prepare a readily soluble pharmaceutically active compound.
From a pharmaceutical point of view, the smaller the particle size of a relatively insoluble drug, the grater is its rate of solution and as a rule, the greater is its bioavailability (J. H. Fincher, J. Pharm. Sci., 57, 1825 (1968)). To this end, small particles are conventionally formed by mechanical subdivision of bulk matter or by aggregation of small molecules or ions (D. J. Shaw, "Introduction to Colloid and Surface Chemistry", 3rd Ed., Butterworths, London, 1980, Chapter 1).
Studies of polymer/amphiphile systems in aqueous media have shown that interactions of polymers with charged amphiphiles occur in different stages. Ionic polymers and charged amphiphiles of opposite charge precipitate accordingly by electrostatic interactions. On the other hand, interactions between non-ionic polymers and amphiphiles occur in three stages. In the most dilute solutions, very little physical biding occurs. At concentrations of amphiphile higher than the critical micelle concentration, true micelles form. However, between these two concentrations, complexation or binding of polymer to amphiphile occurs (M. L. Fishman and F. R. Eirich, J. Phys. Chem., 75(20), 3135-40 (1971)). Small polymer/amphiphile aggregates or sub-micelles are thus formed. The presence of the amphiphile introduces an effective attraction between different polymer molecules since the formed aggregates could involve more than one polymer molecule. This attraction, together with the binding of the amphiphile to the polymer would lead to an increase in the hydrophobicity of the polymer. If the aggregate is sufficiently hydrophobic it will precipitate. The addition of a polar water-soluble compound (e.g. NaCl) to a polymer/amphiphile system will further enhance the precipitation of the polymer/amphiphile aggregates because there will be an increased difference in polarity between the solvent and the polymer/amphiphile aggregates and because the polar compound will tend to decrease the number of water molecules available for the hydration of the polymer/amphiphile aggregates. Also, precipitation occurs on increasing the temperature of systems containing polymers for which solubility is inversely related to temperature, such as cellulosic derivatives. The cloud point of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) has been shown to be lowered by addition of amphiphiles, the effect being more pronounced in the presence of salt (J. E. Lofroth, L. Johansson, A. C. Norman, and K. Wettstrom, Progr. Colloid. Polym. Sci., 84, 73-77 (1991)).
On the other hand, if a hydrophobic compound is added, it will tend to interact with the polymer/amphiphile aggregates, thus increasing the hydrophobicity of these polymer/amphiphile aggregates and facilitating their precipitation.
A method has now been found which surprisingly involves the formation of small particles, the growth of which is limited by the adsorption and/or concentration of polymer/amphiphile aggregates at the solid/liquid interface.
Thus, the invention concerns a process for preparing small particles comprising an organic compound, the solubility of which is greater in a water-miscible first solvent than in a second solvent which is aqueous, which process comprises the following steps:
(i) dissolving said organic compound in the water-miscible first solvent,
(ii) preparing a solution of a polymer and an amphiphile in the aqueous second solvent and in which second solvent the organic compound is substantially insoluble whereby a polymer/amphiphile complex is formed, and
(iii) mixing the solutions from steps (i) and (ii) so as to cause precipitation of an aggregate comprising the organic compound and the polymer/amphiphile complex.
The new method for the formation of small particles of an organic compound comprises:
1) Dissolving said compound in a first solvent which is water-miscible and in which said compound is soluble.
2) Preparing a solution of polymer and amphiphile in a second solvent which is aqueous and in which the compound for which small particles are desired is more or less insoluble, preferably at concentrations below the critical concentration at which free micelles begin to form. The concentrations of polymer and amphiphile are such that they interact, but the critical micelle concentration of the amphiphile is not reached. The hydrophobicity of the polymer is thus increased to a desired degree at which no precipitation occurs. Precipitation of the polymer could also be prevented by temperature control in the cases where solubility of the polymer is a function of temperature.
3) Mixing the solutions from steps (1) and (2) while stirring. The organic compound interacts with the polymer/amphiphile complexes, thus increasing their hydrophobicity, and precipitation of drug/polymer/amphiphile aggregates occurs.
4) The formed particles are then separated, preferably by flocculation and collected by suitable means.
An organic compound for use in the process of this invention is any organic chemical entity whose solubility decreases from one solvent to another. This organic compound might be a pharmaceutically active compound from various groups such as, but not limited to: antihyperlipidemics, antimicrobials, e.g. sulfadiazine; non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, e.g., indomethacin; antihypercholesteremic agents, e.g., probucol; and steroidal compounds, e.g., dexamethasone. Or the organic compound might be from the group used as adjuvants or excipients in pharmaceutical preparations and cosmetics, such as, but not limited to, preservatives, e.g., propylparaben.
The first solvent according to the present invention is a solvent or mixture of solvents in which the organic compound of interest is relatively soluble and which is miscible with the second solvent. Examples of such solvents include, but are not limited to: methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, acetone, dimethylformamide, and acetonitrile.
The second solvent according to the present invention is water or an aqueous solution containing one or more of various additives, such as, but not limited to:
1. polymers, such as dextrans; polyethylene glucols; polyvinylpyrrolidone; cellulosic derivatives, e.g., methylcellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose; gelatin; and carrageenan.
2. salts, such as monovalent ions, e.g., sodium chloride; divalent ions, e.g., sodium sulfate and calcium chloride; and trivalent ions, e.g., aluminum chloride.
3. surfactants such as nonionics, e.g., sorbitan fatty acid esters and their polyoxyethylene derivatives; anionics, e.g., sodium dodecylsulfate; and cationics, e.g., cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.
4. viscosity enhancing agents, such as, hydrophilic colloids, e.g., gelatin, acacia and tragacanth.
5. cosolvents, such as glycerol, propylene glycol, methanol, ethanol and isopropanol.
A polymer according to the invention, the solution of which is prepared in the second solvent, is meant to be a wide variety of organic chemical entities of relatively high molecular weight, such as, but not limited to:
1. vinyl derivatives, e.g., polyvinylpyrrolidone.
2. cellulose derivatives, e.g., methylcellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.
3. polyethylene glycols, e.g., polyethylene glycol 6,000 and polyethylene glycol 10,000.
An amphiphile according to the invention is a compound, the molecules of which consist of two parts, one of which is hydrophilic and the other of which is hydrophobic in nature. These compounds include, but are not limited to:
1. nonionics, e.g., cholesterol, lecithin, sorbitan fatty acid esters and their polyoxyethylene derivatives.
2. anionics, such as, alkylsulfates, e.g., sodium dodecylsulfate; and bile salts, e.g., sodium cholate and sodium taurocholate.
3. cationics, e.g., cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and benzalkonium chloride.
The concentration of the organic compound in the first solvent can be as low as 0.01% by weight and as high as, but not limited to, the saturation concentration of the organic compound in the first solvent, including concentrations which form supersaturated solutions within the range of temperatures up to the boiling point of the first solvent.
The concentration of the polymer can be ranging from 0.01% to 50% by weight in the second solvent, preferably 0.01% to 10%.
The concentration of the amphiphile can be ranging from 0.001% to 50% by weight in the second solvent, preferably 0.001% to 5%.
Flocculation can be achieved by various modes, such as
1. addition of an electrolyte, such as, but not limited to, sodium sulfate, sodium phosphate and potassium phosphate.
2. temperature change.
3. addition of a high molecular weight polymer (bridging flocculation).
Collection of the small particles can be achieved by various methods, such as, but not limited to:
1. centrifugation and ultracentrifugation.
2. filtration.
3. reverse osmosis followed by evaporation.
4. evaporation of the solvent by heating and/or vacuum.
5. freeze-drying.
6. spray-drying.
7. fluidized-bed drying.
8. any combination of the above.
According to one embodiment of the invention, the process comprises the following steps:
1) Dissolving a pharmaceutically active compound, such as an antihyperlipidemic agent, in a first solvent which is water-miscible;
2) Dissolving polyvinylpyrrolidone and sodium dodecylsulfate in a second solvent which is aqueous such as water and in which the active compound is more or less insoluble. The concentrations of both polyvinylpyrrolidone and sodium dodecylsulfate are such that the system is below the critical concentration at which free micelles form and precipitation of the polymer/amphiphile complex has not occurred.
3) Adding the solution obtained from step (1) to that prepared in step (2) while keeping the latter under constant agitation. Precipitation occurs and results in a suspension of drug/polymer/amphiphile small particles.
4) The small particles thus obtained are flocculated by the addition of an aqueous solution of an electrolyte, such as potassium phosphate.
5) The suspension is centrifuged and washed twice with water, centrifuged, redispersed in water and then freeze-dried.
The process of forming small particles according to the invention is illustrated by the following example:
A solution consisting of 1 g of probucol (a lipid lowering drug) and 12 ml of absolute ethanol was added to a solution consisting of 2 g polyvinylpyrrolidone (M. W. 360.000), 0.1 g sodium dodecylsulfate and 50 ml water while stirring at 1.200 rpm with a magnetic stirrer. This procedure resulted in a white suspension of small particles comprising probucol. The small particles were then flocculated by adding a potassium phosphate solution. The flocculated small particles were separated by centrifugation, washed twice with water, redispersed by sonication and then freeze-dried. The process was monitored by observation of samples in the optical microscope. The final freeze-dried product was observed by electron microscopy; agglomerates of small particles of less than 2 μm were observed.
