In some applications, the microencapsulated chemical precursors are maintained in close physical proximity to one another in a limited volume, and using a limited amount of solvent residing within that same volume to extract and process the chemical precursors to form NO.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for extending the release times and lowering the toxicity of pharmacologically active compounds. The compounds comprise a salt of the pharmacologically active compound with a lipophilic counterion and a pharmaceutically acceptable water soluble solvent combined together to form an injectable composition. The lipophilic counterion may be a saturated or unsaturated C₈-C₂₂ fatty acid, and preferably may be a saturated or unsaturated C₁₀-C₁₈ fatty acid. The compounds precipitate in aqueous environments. When injected into a mammal, at least a portion of the composition precipitates and releases the active compound over time. Thus, the composition forms a slowly releasing drug depot of the active compound in the mammal. Therefore, the present invention enables one to provide a controlled dose administration of the active compound for a period of up to 15 days or even longer. Many compounds can be administered according to the present invention including, but not limited to, tilmicosin, oxytetracycline, metoprolol, fluoxetine, roxithromycin, and turbinafine.

An ECU releases brake hold control when an actual accelerator pedal position A exceeds a predetermined position A(0) while the brake hold control is being executed. Further, the ECU determines whether or not the actual accelerator pedal position A is larger than a position A(1), which is a value smaller than the predetermined position A(0), and if it is larger than the predetermined position A(1), executes a process for increasing a creep torque reflection ratio R to recover creep force that has been stopped.
