Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing a friable polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) product that has particles of a desired size which are flowable and do not tend to agglomerate. To achieve this result, the PTFE starting material is handled at a temperature below 66  DEG F, and preferably below 55  DEG F, before irradiating. The PTFE starting material may be mixed with a wetting agent before irradiating to provide a product that has enhanced dispersibility. The source of radiation may include electron beam radiation, nuclear radiation, or radiation from a cobalt-60 (Co60) source.

Abstract: A method for servicing an inkjet printhead without removing the printhead from
a carriage of the printer, wherein a controlled pressure differential is generated
across the nozzle plate of the printhead to cause the formation of a controlled

maintained for a predetermined period of time and then is withdrawn into the
printhead without ink being fired from the nozzles.

Abstract: In a method of automatically milking animals which
are allowed to visit individually a milking parlour
comprising a milking robot and an animal identification
system, an animal visiting the milking parlour is milked when
since the previous milking of the relevant animal at least a
specific number of milkings (Q) of other animals has taken
place. On the basis of at least one animal parameter a
milking number (x) is allotted to each animal, which milking
number (x) indicates how often the relevant animal has to be
milked per unit of time. The specific number of milkings (Q)
for each animal is calculated as a function of the corresponding
milking number (x). As a result of the fact that
the threshold value of the milking criterion depends on an
individual target number for the number of milkings of the
relevant animal, a desired number of milkings per unit of
time can be achieved for each animal.

Abstract: A penetrating radiation source  (14)  is disposed on one side of an object  (10)  which is on an
object support  (12) . A flat panel radiation detector  (18)  is stationarily disposed on the
opposite side of the object  (10)  than the source  (14) . A moving system  (16)  moves the
source  (14)  with respect to the object  (10) . In each position  (X i , Y i , Z i )  of the source  (14) 
a centre ray of the x-ray beam strikes the detector  (18)  at a corresponding location  (x i , y i ,
0) . For each position  (X i , Y i , Z i )  of the source  (14) , the image  (x i , y i , 0)  of an object located
on a focal plane offsets by a vector displacement  (D i )  relative to a reference position  (x o , y o ,
z o )  of the image when the source is at  (X 0 , Y 0 , Z 0 ) . A processor  (28)  shifts and interpolates
each view by the different vector displacements corresponding to each of the focal planes
 (L 1 , L 2 ,...)  and integrates the images to generate a series of slice image representations
which are stored in a volume image memory  (30) . In this manner, by adjusting the view
offset by an amount corresponding to each of the focal planes,  (L 1 , L 2 , ...)  the same data set
is used to generate all of the slices of the resultant volume image.
