Politics in New Zealand: A Winston win
WHAT has Barack Obama done for business travellers? A few good things, according to Joe Brancatelli on Portfolio.com. On the grounds that it is only in the run-up to elections that business travellers' needs are heeded, Mr Brancatelli has decided to take the opportunity granted by the imminent mid-terms and grade the president's administration in six different areas.
Mr Obama gets an "A" for selecting Ray LaHood to run the department of transport, but an "F" for his drawn-out effort to appoint a new head of the TSA. His efforts to rebuild transport infrastructure only merit a "D". In Mr Brancatelli's words:
As president, he claimed the controversial 2009 economic stimulus bill would concentrate on "shovel ready" projects like transportation infrastructure. Unfortunately, there were very few construction projects in "the stim," and Obama allowed his opponents to paint those that were as folly.
The report goes on to cover security, consumer protection and airline alliances—it's worth a read.

Switzerland looking at fixed book prices
February 17, 2010 | 11:26 am
By Paul Biba
Switzerland is looking at reinstating its fixed book price law. This law, like those in France, Germany and Italy, restricts the sale of books below the publisher's recommended price. The rationale is to support independent booksellers, small publishers and chains that have to compete with Amazon.
There is currently some dispute as to whether the new law should apply to online book retailers. More info here.
Weekend Links: Buying eReaders in Canada just got harder. Why YA novels make box office hits
Morning Links: 2014 Reading habits survey. Can data journalism be taught?
Weekend Links: Book market contracting? Lessons from a day unplugged
Taking stock "After Woodstock"
Morning Links: Amazon friend or foe? It's complicated. Worst ebook cover art
Measures like this may be positioned as pro-competitive but they generally support incumbents. After all, one way to break into a new market is to offer price reductions. (Which is why Amazon chose this route when they introduced the Kindle and the $9.99 best-seller).
Rob Preece
I agree with Rob above.
I don't understand why, in this modern day and age, governments still offer special protection to such and such industry. It is well understood that such rules help Paul but hurt Peter.
We've seen this in Germany and Australia, where book selling is under strict state controls. I understand it as an attempt to "preserve their culture" (we see that with the French a lot), but in the end it doesn't really work. Australia is now dealing with this (I think you posted on this blog about it) in an upcoming national conference, and New Zealand has been overwhelmed by Amazon as well.
But, after a few years of transition and a continuing explosion in ebooks, this will fade. If nothing else, piracy will force it to end. But, I expect the government to see the error of its ways and, perhaps, just tax the sales.

TELETOON (ended 2007)
^The first DVD is being released 9/11/07.
Can't help you with the rest.
Just have some questions concerning the DVD releases.
I got the first volume yesterday, which contained episodes 1-7. I had heard somewhere that there were originally going to be 4 volumes of 13 episodes each. Even the box for this volume had images from episodes 8, 11 and 13. Also, Magma was on the cover, but he doesn't appear until episode 8. Was there a reason for the change? If there were only meant to be 7 episodes, why was the box designed to indicate differently?
I'm also wondering if there's a release date yet for volume 2. I've looked into it, but haven't found anything about it.
sorry man can't help you out there.
I can't even get the first box until friday when I'ts PAYDAY
any1 got any new news on Spider Riders??? missing that show...

"Yes, you can use my name because it doesn't matter. They have already done everything they can do to me." Those are words from Eliceo, a former dairy farm worker in upstate New York. Earlier this year, Eliceo, 36, decided to speak up and share his story with local advocates who are tirelessly working to improve conditions on New York dairy farms and end persistent reports of workplace safety violations, preventable work-related injuries, wage theft, exploitation and in some cases, worker deaths.

For eight years, Dora worked at a frozen pizza factory in Romeoville, Illinois, called Great Kitchens. For eight hours a day — sometimes seven days a week — she assembled pizza boxes or arranged cheese and other toppings on pizzas. The consequences of years of such repetitive work surfaced in October 2012, when her hands would go numb and a painful cyst formed on her left wrist. She told her supervisor about the problem, but he said he couldn't do anything about it — Dora was a temporary worker hired through a staffing agency and so Great Kitchens wasn't responsible for addressing her injury.

After nearly a decade of hoping state legislators would pass an earned paid sick time law, advocates in Massachusetts decided it was time to put the question to voters.

For 17 years, Salvadora Roman deboned chickens on the processing line at Wayne Farms in Decatur, Alabama. Because of the repetitive movement and speed of the processing line, Roman developed a chronic and painful hand injury that affects her ability to do even the most basic household chores. About three years ago, she was fired from the plant for taking time off work to visit a doctor for the injury she sustained on the line.

Can I start WSing?
Hi everyone,
I having been planning on starting some winter sown seeds this year. Last year I started around this time but, unfortunately, a theory of "more is better" overtook me and, after putting winter sown containers in a mini green house, I had little to show for it. So I've practiced my patience over the last year and I swear the containers will not see a green house this year. HOWEVER, I've held off doing any WSing so far because of the arctic winter we've had here (solid on-and-off weeks of below zero temps, etc). So my question to all of you is: can I winter sow now in MI or is it too cold and will damage seeds? I also bought some grow lights and flats to start a few things inside but I'm hoping to do some WSing, too.
Any advise you can give would be very much appreciated.
Thanks again!
Now is the perfect time for most perennials and hardy annuals. Just don't do anything tender or tropical for sure yet. Also hold off on anything that doesn't require a cold period at all. If you look at the seed packet or look it up online and it says wait until the soil warms up or wait until after the last frost, don't sow it yet. Wait on things like tomatoes beans, sunflowers, zinnias, etc.
Also try to do the wintersowing following the tried and true instructions which are simple and flexible. When people alter the basic principles and it doesn't turn out right they often blame the method and don't try it again.
It reminds me of when people get recipes online , change a bunch of ingredients, cooking times, etc. Then they go and rate the recipe poorly because it didn't turn out!
People that had trouble with wintersowing often tried putting the containers in a greenhouse that overheated, or used topsoil instead of potting mix, or used tiny seed starting peat pellets, or very shallow containers. Sometimes they neglect to add ventilation and a way for rain and snow to get in, or just simply don't add enough potting mix to the containers. Many people also get so excited they start ALL their seeds in the fall and early winter. The quick to germinate ones not requiring cold stratification pop up the first warm spell and then get frozen and killed when the cold of winter sets in.
Just double check the faq on here or wintersown.org to make sure you have it down for the best chance at success.

3/02 Debbi Goforth
"Scars of Love: Tears of Hope," written by Deborah Goforth is a truly both an inspiring and educational book regarding the issue of teens who feel hopeless about their lives. In it, Goforth, transports the reader into the thoughts of students who lack motivation or who are unsure of their futures. Having worked as a counselor for over 27 years, Deborah Goforth professionally demonstrates ways to approach kids, spark motivation, and evoke hope. The emphasis in this book is on love, which she claims, is the primary step into helping kids, widening their horizons, and showing them their place in the world. Although it is written from the perspective of an experienced teacher, "Scars of Love: Tears of Hope" is a book highly recommended for anyone who wants to bring about a change in the world.

Bavaria Castles, Palaces: save money with the pass
Favorite thing: For those who want to stay in Bavaria for a couple of days and are keen to visit several of the castles, palaces and gardens covered by Bavarian Palace Administration, I can highly recommend the purchase of the seasonal 14-day pass, or even of the annual pass. It is available as single and as family pass.
The prices are as follows:
14-day ticket: 24 Euro for one person, 40 Euro for the family version (2 adults with kids under 18 years),
Annual ticket: 45 Euro for one person, 65 Euro for the family version (2 adults with kids under 18 years).
The tickets are available at any of the castles' ticket counters.
Especially the family ticket is a perfect way to save money, and even if it is only for two of the various castles!
Here some considerations and calculations for a couple. Admissions to the most popular castles are as follows:
Neuschwanstein Castle: 2 x 12 Euro = 24 Euro
Linderhof Palace: 2 x 8,50 Euro = 17 Euro
Herrenchiemsee Palace: 2 x 8 Euro = 16 Euro
Munich Residence: 2 x 13 Euro = 26 Euro
Nymphenburg Palace: 2 x 11,50 Euro = 23 Euro.
Total = 106 Euro when purchased as single admissions, but with the 14-days family ticket a saving of 66 Euro!!
More information about the tickets:

Pfaffenwinkel: excellent information material
Favorite thing: My trip to Pfaffenwinkel, Bavaria's region with the highest density of fine Baroque and Rococo churches, was planned, but I didn't think of ordering some paper information material beforehand. So I had to look for this in Schongau, one of the main towns in this region. I was very positively surprised!
Schongau's tourist office had such a variety of leaflets, brochures, maps, specific information about Pfaffenwinkel, Romantic Road and several other parts of southern Bavaria that I couldn't help but take one of each. And yes, at the end I had a pile of almost 15 cm high. But it is all very much valuable. I love the interest-specific maps (see second photo) of Pfaffenwinkel for hikers and bikers and cultural information and one with general information. Each of these has a nice three dimensional panorama of the region from Benediktbeuern and Walchensee in the east to Forggensee and Neuschwanstein Castle in the west. The map is "upside down though" (north is on the lower map part). Each map has specific icons for the countless villages and towns with reference to the sights to see. The hiking and biking maps have the trails and paths marked and additional information about each in length, in sights to see along the road and places to stop by. The cultural map has specific information about the villages and sights to see, about opening hours, tours and entrance fees. Just the panorama maps are really lovely and worth a lot; well, of excellent use for the tour plans. And everything I took was free of charge. I couldn't believe it!
Oh here I also got the 120 pages brochure of Bavaria region "Weilheim-Schongau" with all bus maps and schedules.
The tourist office is located just behind (north of) Schongau's parish church Maria Himmelfahrt, in Münzstraße 1-3. Münzstraße, by the way, leads to one of Schongau's town gates, Münztor (mint gate).
Opening hours:
May to October: Monday – Friday from 8:00 – 12:30 and 14:00 – 18:00
November to April: Monday – Friday from 8:00 – 12:30 and additionally Monday & Tuesday from 14:00 – 16:00 and Thursday from 14:00 – 18:00.
Location of Schongau's Tourist Information on Google Maps.
Pfaffenwinkel website provides also quite good information, sadly not anything for download as of the time of writing. And sadly their English part contains less information than the German part.

Please take your trash:not many rubbish bins
Favorite thing: When I spent my time travelling through Bavaria by car, especially on the smaller roads, I stop from time to time to take photos or have a short snack break. I was always amazed of how well organised in terms of "garbage education" the responsibles for these roads are: the majority of the small rest stops with picnic tables along the roads do not have garbage bins. But there are clear signs "Please take your garbage with you". I find this an excellent idea, especially because it seems to raise the awareness of how to dispose of garbage. I have not seen any garbage thrown on the ground at these rest stops, neither along the roads. So it seems that people have realised not to spoil this beautiful nature by throwing trash out of the window or litter the rest stops.
Conclusion: when you drive through rural Bavaria, bring a plastic bag or something else to collect your rubbish, and dispose of it at the nearest bin where you stay. Or ask the hotel, B&B or wherever you stay where to dispose of it.
Update, November 2012:
In the meantime I took photos of the often cute signs which are meant to remind people to take the rubbish back home. The one in my main photo is a good example. It does not need translations to tell what it means :-)

Milk – fair prices for the farmers
Favorite thing: Since early 2010 all of us who don't live close by a dairy farm which takes care of their cows and thus the milk they produce can purchase so-called "fair" milk in selected supermarkets. As a logo this milk has a cow with black-red-gold stripes printed on the package. The idea behind is that dairy farmers get a fair price for the milk: 40 Cents instead of the otherwise paid 27 Cents. And we, the consumers, can buy milk which is in no way containing genetically modified material, since the cows are grazing on meadows and won't be fed with GM food. Another idea behind this is that transport ways shall be as short as possible.
A traditionally wide part of Bavaria, especially in southern Bavaria, is farm land. And traditionally the majority of farmers have not yet adapted to factory farming. But nevertheless I was positively surprised to see the fair milk's striped cow logo now not only on the packaging but also as statues many times when I drove through southern Bavaria. Somehow it helped me to ... bring life into the fair milk concept.
But on the other hand, it is easy for any milk lover to fill up with fresh healthy milk everywhere. The farmers often sell directly to the locals, and will of course also sell to travellers coming by.

How did Alois Hingerl become angel ALOISIUS ???
Favorite thing: Alois Hingerl - Dienstmann Nr. 172 , aka "Aloisius" is one of the most popular caracters created by Ludwig Thoma.
Alois Hingerl was working as an outporter (I found this word for Dienstmann in my dictionary, but it sounds strange to me) at the trainstation in Munich and died during his duty.
He came to heaven and was not able to adapt to the "strange customs" of the angels singing Hallelujah all day long.
He started to shout at St.Peter and God, and so they had the idea to send him down to Munich again for 1 day every week , in order to take some letters with "advices from heaven" for the governement of Bavaria.
So angel Aloisius flew down to the townhall, took down his wings and thought, why not having a beer in Hofbräuhaus before delivering the letter...
In Hofbräuhaus he had one beer after the other, and could not stop it, but finally forgot the letter for the governement...
Aloisius is still sitting there, having his beer, and the governement still does not know what to do...
This is a simply translation of the story of Aloisius.
If you are able to understand german, you might like to read the story, with all the funny details under this link :

History of Bavaria
Favorite thing: Bavaria is one of the oldest European states. It dates back to about 500 A.D., and was originally inhabited by Celts, which was part of the Roman provinces of Rhaetia and Noricum. The language was originally Old High German. The name "Bavarian" ("Baiuvari") means "Men of Baia" which may indicate Bohemia, the homeland of the Marcomanni.
My Eremitage
Favorite thing: Bayreuth - that´s not only Wagner. It´s a cultural center, that´s true, but this town has a wonderful garden named Eremitage. Really worth seeing in Bayreuth and one of the most beautiful parks which I know. If in spring or in autumn, every time attractive.
This first palace (New Castle) is decorated around itsself walls by stones of colored glass.
Many flowers, big and fascinating trees, water, two cafes´, fountains and in summer season outside theater. Great landscape and wonderful gardening!Related to:

Hours to visit Castle Neuschwanstein
Favorite thing: If you want to visit the castle the hours are :
April - September: 9:00-18:00
October -March: 10:00 - 16:00
The prices : 9 Euro for Neuschwanstein and 18 for both castles (Neuschwanstein and Hohenschwangau
The town-wall of Rothenburg
Fondest memory: Be careful, when walking the town-wall of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, especially when you are taller than 1,86 meters.
But of course the wall was not built for tourists, but to fight against enemies and you may still see the holes, where they were able to shoot at their enemies, and people at the medieval ages were a lot smaller than today. The biggest part of the ancient moat is used for car-parkings today.Related to:

- Road Trip
Rothenburg o.d.Tauber - the entrance to town
Favorite thing: On my picture you may see Galgentor, also called Wuerzburger Tor, close to one of the bigger car-parks in Rothenburg ob der Tauber.
Tourist-cars better stay outside of these gates, trafic and parking inside the city of Rothenburg is restricted to localpeople and hotelguests of the hotels in the centre.
Fondest memory: While it was almost impossible to climb over the wall, the big doors of these gates were certainly the biggest problem to defend, and therefor high towers were built there and stones and other things could be thrown upon everyone, who tried to break through these big gates.Related to:

Rothenburg o.d.Tauber - the Townsquare
Favorite thing: On my picture you may see the great townhall of Rothenburg ob der Tauber. You may enter the townhall and climb up to the tower for a great view over the city and the medieval townwalls. The first part of the steps is quite easy but for the very last few steps you have to be really extra careful and not more than 6 people may stand on the platform of the tower-top.
Fondest memory: When you click on my picture, you will see that the centre of town is paved the old fashioned way by a pavement of cobbled stones...Related to:

Walk around the medieval town-wall in Rothenburg
Favorite thing: There are many cosy places all over Rothenburg ob der Tauber like this old black-smith in a halftimbered house close to "Spitaltor" (one of the towngates in the east of town.
Fondest memory: This is what makes Rothenburg ob der Tauber so unique - it still has the old town-wall and you may even freely walk around the town that way - free of charge, at any time... even at night and when you search carefully during the day you might even find a space, where you may spend the night in a niche of one of the old towers, as long as you climb up the steep stairs late at night, when really everybody is sleeping and leave again, before the first tourists arrive....Related to:

Rothenburg ob der Tauber & the most famous view
Favorite thing: Rothenburg ob der Tauber is the only town in Europe, that is still completely surrounded by the medieval wall and also all the houses inside these wall are still completely built in that time.
The view of Rothenburg, that you may see on my picture is the most famous with 2 towngates on it. The 2nd one is right of it, in quite a distance and you have to enlarge the picture in order to see it.
Fondest memory: I especially enjoyed these half-timbered houses, as every fassade is unique and has its own character.
Rothenburg was widely destroyed during WW II and was completely rebuilt afterwards.Related to:

Hi I just got static IP Service....My question though I have the Static IP's can I just link up something that just needs DHCP and get a DHCP addres?Seems odd that I can't do both?But want to confirm if I get my own wifi router I can hook that into the modem/router, give my router static ip, but set it for dhcp for devices I plug in to it so they work that way. I have few tv type devices that only connect via dhcp and want to be able to do testing with them and or somehow force a natted ip to them?Also, as an FYI I made them give me one of the newer modems that is also a router..Seemed pretty stupid to me that a) they have a two box system modem/router and bulky.....b) How come we can't get a router that has wifi??? while home users with less expensive package gets free wifi routers??? I was told their wifi routers can't do static ip...which seems odd.Looking forward to comments/suggestsMerry Xmas
The static IP service has 5 IP addresses available for your devices.You cannot put the modem in "bridge" mode - no configuration is available to the customer.
I suspect it is already in what you would call bridge mode. It does not do NAT. It simply is there to allow for a default gateway for the static IP addresses in the subnet assigned.
Oh. I had thought it was similar to other combo units that a lot of the companies give out.
Hi I just got static IP Service....My question though I have the Static IP's can I just link up something that just needs DHCP and get a DHCP addres?Merry Xmas
That was an excellent thread, explaining why it would not be in the customer's or CV's interest to allow end users to configure cablevision equipment.
An absolute mightmare for the customer. Good thing CV has the box locked down so customers that don't know any better can't screw themselves.

This invention relates to the field of transdermic drug application systems and covers a perfected device for cutaneous administration of drug solutions.
Systems and devices in the form of adhesive skin patches containing drug solutions with different active agents have been developed and marketed for several years. Such devices and systems can supply very low doses of the relevant drug, for example 1 microgram at 20 mg per day for 2 to 30 days or longer. Applications of such devices and systems include, amongst others, the administration of trinitrine for heart diseases, of estradiol for the treatment of menopause, etc.
The systems currently in use are of two types (those with membranes and those referred to as "matrix" systems) and use the migration principle subject to FICK's law (as well as STOCK and STEIN) according to which the speed of migration depends on the concentration gradient between the two compartments, with the molecules moving from the most concentrated to the least concentrated. The speed decreases when the viscosity of the medium increases or when permeability is low.
In the membrane system, the reservoir which contains the active agent solute is sealed by a membrane placed on the skin and permeable only to the active agent. This membrane is covered with an adhesive which makes it possible to fix the patch on the skin and to provide a solution of continuity with the latter.
In the matrix system, the reservoir is replaced with an absorbent substance, a sort of molecular sponge which can be the adhesive substance itself. The side touching the skin is also adhesive and provides continuity surface with the skin.
In such systems, the matrix, membrane and adhesive act as barriers substantially hindering migration of the active agent to the skin. Despite the regulation effect wanted, flow of the active agent which migrates into the skin always takes an inverse exponential form over time. Strong concentrations of the active agent are thus required in the system to obtain relatively strong local pressure. Migration should then be curbed to produce continuous strongly attenuated, inverse exponential flow. Another way of obtaining strong local pressure is described in European patent EP-A-0113562 in which the matrix is pressurized by a mobile plate forming a piston. A series of measurements of migration and absorption have shown that membrane and matrix patches, designed to supply set amounts of the active agent ranging from 20 to 25 mg at a rate of 5 mg per day, only give approximately 20 to 30% yields.
Furthermore, the adhesive which acts as a solution of continuity for migration of the active agent takes several hours to adapt to the skin surface and stick, thus delaying the therapeutic effect. Drug overdose, lasting for 1 or 2 hours, has often been observed after adherence of the adhesive due to migration over a very short distance of molecules close to the surface in contact with the skin. The adhesive forms an occlusion zone on the surface of the skin, i.e. the adhesive prevents sweat from evaporating. If the active agent is not soluble in water (e.g. trinitrine and oestradiol) this occlusion effect substantially perturbs or even prevents migration. Lastly, this same effect may loosen or detach the patch with dramatic consequences for the patient, e.g. in cases of myocardial infarction.
The invention is designed to overcome this series of problems and provides a new transdermic application system offering an array of advantages not yet attained elsewhere, including: efficacy, reliability at low cost, lack of adhesive on the part of the skin receiving the active agent, self flow regulation despite variations in skin permeability (over time and according to patients) and the possibility of regular depositing of the active agent over a period of 8 days, 15 days or longer.
To solve these problems, this new device, designed for the transcutaneous administration of drug solutions, has the following main features: a) an application reservoir or cell whose base has a filling hole for the solution and an opening that is fitted with a stopper which presents micro-recesses on its periphery for distribution of the solution on the skin, (b) a pressure means to pressurize and stabilize flow of the solution within the reservoir and (c) a lid to hermetically seal the aforesaid reservoir.
The micro-recesses in this invention can be produced by different methods.
According to a first embodiment the micro-recesses are made through roughness produced by moulding the stopper by electro-erosion. In practice, roughness indices of No. 33 to 21 can be used, corresponding to maximum distances or heights between the peaks or troughs in recesses of 4.5 to 1.2 microns. The stopper should be conically shaped overall or have a conical head whose initial diameter is the same as that of the body of the stopper.
According to another embodiment the micro-recesses are made by indenting the stopper with either a mini-notch made parallel to the stopper axis and forming a ring-shaped canal flared out triangularly at the end in contact with the skin. This system, which we shall return to later, enables the solution of active agent to cross the indentation and circulate along the perimeter of the circumference by capillarity. The solution then diffuses throughout the covered area.
According to the invention, the first way of producing pressure is by a plastic film balloon filled with a mixture of Freons.
This hollow balloon should be made (but not exclusively) of polyethylene film stuck onto polyamide film using an adhesive such a dual-ingredient polyurethane glue. A variant is to replace this balloon with a flat plastic film, either simple or complex above. In this case, there is a joint on the inner edge of the lid, sealing the film and exerting pressure on it when the device is closed.
As stated above, the balloon contains a mixture of freons in either a gaseous or liquid form according to the conditions of use (application of the patch or storage of the patch in the cold). For the variant discussed above, where the balloon is replaced by a film, the said mixture, which is liquid at ordinary temperatures, is deposited on the inner wall of the reservoir. In practice the following types of Freons can be used: Freon 11 and 113 in roughly equal proportions.
According to another characteristic of the invention, the drug solutions applied by the invented device can be mixed with a small amount of Freon and propanediol-1,2 mixture. This addition stabilizes the pressure system.
The pressure means can also be constituted, in an interesting second variant of the invention, of a spring which presses onto a plastic film.
This film can be folded onto itself, forming a gusset, or can form a balloon-shaped hollow volume. In both cases, it presses, through action of the spring, onto the top of the reservoir containing the solution.
Other characteristics will be given by the ensuing descriptions of examples of systems shown in the illustrations. They give a schematic representation of the following:
FIG. 1. General sectional view of the first variant of the device;
FIG. 2. Another variant of the inside of the device;
FIG. 3. View of the top of the device;
FIGS. 4 and 5. Perspective and sectional views of a stopper with rough walls with micro-recesses;
FIG. 6. Diagram showing a drainage indentation made at the edge of the stopper; and
FIG. 7. Enlarged illustration of a flared indentation (taking the form of an equilateral triangle).
FIG. 8. Overall sectional view of the second variant of the device.
As can be seen in FIGS. 1 to 7, a device complying with the invention has the following basic features: an application reservoir 1 or cell in which a balloon or plastic film 2 and sealing lid 3 are added. The reservoir wall has a filling hole 4 (with sealing cap, not shown) and a conically shaped stopper 5.
A large number of studies conducted on this invention to produce a stopper with a very small cross-section active flow drainage hole (e.g. 0.3 to 5 microns) and high dimensional stability, have led to the selection of criteria and factors favouring the best results. These include: producing nylon, polypropylene or equivalent plastic stoppers by injection moulding; producing micro-recesses on the edges and outer surfaces of the stoppers to obtain a rough surface or reproducible indentation by electro-erosion moulding; selection of an indentation with a triangular base (preferably an equilateral triangle) from where the active fluid flows.
FIGS. 4 and 5 show an excellent stopper design 5 with a conical head and outer sides of which present roughenesses 13 made during electro-erosion moulding, and corresponding to roughness indices ranging for example from No 39 to 21.
FIG. 6 shows another type of stopper, also with a conical head, where active flow is no longer drained through micro-recesses due to surface roughness but through surface indentation 6 with a flared end 7.
FIG. 7 shows an indentation base in the shape of an equilateral triangle. This design gives extremely fine, rigourous setting, during production of the part by electro-erosion, and the fluid flow rates required. For example, rough setting is performed first by attacking one of the triangle's sides, e.g. side 8 (FIG. 6) by wearing mini-sections X, then Y and then Z. For finer setting, apex 9 is then attacked, for example in mini-sections A, B, C . . . E.
The indentation (or flare) surface naturally has to be adjusted in function of variables such as: viscosity of the active solution, pressure exerted by the balloon (as explained hereafter) and skin temperature (which ranges from 34.7� to 35.2� C.).
Instead of an equilateral triangle, a triangle with a lower apex can be used, e.g. 20 degrees, or a half-moon shaped form.
According to a basic characteristic of the invention, a pressure means is used inside the reservoir 1 to slightly compress the drug solution on stopper 5 (this pressure can vary, for example, from 5.103 to 5.104 Pascals (Pa)) and to force it to drain through the roughness 13 or to flow into the indentation 6. As shown in FIG. 1, this pressure means consists of balloon 2 made of plastic film welded at its edges and cut into a circular shape. The plastic film should preferably be made of a polyethylene based complex stuck onto polyamide film with polyurethane adhesive. FIG. 2 shows a variant where the inner perimeter of the lid 3 has a joint 10, for example made of silicon, to seal the device and hold the plastic film 11, acting as the balloon. The lid thus acts in this instance as one of the balloon's walls.
The balloon is filled with a mixture of Freons, and in the case of the variant shown in FIG. 2., the mixture used is placed on the wall of the lid. This type of mixture, for example containing roughly equal proportions of Freon 11 and 113, produces very low pressure, in the order of 2.104 Pa and does not produce any detectable leaks even after one year. This is also due to the drug solution containing propyleneglycol in addition to Freons. This produces a perfect vapour pressure and solute migration balance when the patch is at ordinary temperature.
FIG. 8 shows a particularly advantageous pressure and solution flow regulation means.
In this exploded view, the solution reservoir 1, fitted with a conical stopper 5 and a filling aperture (located behind the aforesaid stopper and not shown in the figure) is the support surface for a gusset 15, made of folded plastic film (or alternatively in the form of a balloon).
The solution is gradually released by continuous pressure of the spring 14 on the gusset 15.
Between the spring 14 and lid 3 of the device, there is a thin plastic film 16 whose ends 17 are coated in adhesive to stick the device onto the skin.
In practice, each component of the device according to the invention is similarly shaped (extra-flat) and can be made of moulded or compressed plastic by electro-erosion, as described above, to create impressions in the stopper and surface roughnesses or, depending on the variant, indentation. As shown in FIGS. 3 and 8, the apparatus is often supplied with adhesive pads 12 and 17 that stick to the skin. Other models of the device are also available in the form of bracelets, and belts for abdominal application (particularly for trinitrine solutions used as coronary dilators in myocardial infarction).
Other dimensions can of course be used for the invented device. For example, an experimental model was made using the first method, shown in FIGS. 1 to 7, with a diameter of approximately 40 mm, thickness 2.8 mm when closed, and stopper diameter of approximately 0.5 mm for 0.8 mm stopper thickness. The volume of the reservoir was approximately 1.2 ml. Using a roughness index of 27, corresponding to a maximum distance between peaks and troughs of 2.24 microns, the stopper fitted particularly tightly into the cell and the drug solution flow rate obtained was approximately 1.2 ml over a total period of 8 days.
A confirmed example or embodiment is illustrated in FIG. 8, which shows an oblong model, 41 mm by 46 mm, and 3.2 mm thick with a 1.4 ml reservoir.
The extra-flat spring 14 applied a force of approximately 0.9 kg on the gusset 15 and hence on the solution.
The solution escapes through the dosage and diffusion stopper 5 and flows out onto the surface in contact with the skin.
The commissioning aperture 18 is removed when the device is placed on the skin.
The systems in the invention are self-regulating.
Specifically, the higher skin permeability is to the active agent, the smaller the surface of skin required to absorb the solution.
Dosage of the solution is extremely precise as its mechanical release is extremely precise.
Apart from the above mentioned cases of application of the invention, use of this device can be recommended for the administration of nicotine or other substances during withdrawal programmes.
