This article examines multi-tip tool technology for pharmaceutical tablet compression and the process control and validation issues that must be carefully evaluated to assess the potential for success ...

Using 3-D printers for the microrange, researchers have succeeded in creating a metamaterial from cubic building blocks that responds to compression forces by a rotation. Usually, this can only be ...

• Force vectors don’t want to remain in line with the object being pushed. • Load-cell specifications usually do not call out accuracy, but rather linearity, repeatability, and hysteresis. • Accuracy ...

People tend to spend, on average, several hours a day sitting on couches, chairs, and car seats, as well as considerable time on mattresses every night. Polyurethane foam plays a major role in ...

The author prepared and analyzed a detailed design of experiments for the manufacture of a simple tablet formulation. The aim was to test whether tablet hardness and weight could be controlled during ...
