Abstract: An automated system for loading low dose radioisotope seeds into a plurality of implant needles is comprised of a loading station into which a replaceable cartridge may be positioned. The cartridge is preloaded with a plurality of radioisotope seeds and a plurality of spacers. The cartridge has at least one aperture and preferably the radioisotope seeds and spacers are loaded around the periphery of a rotatable drum within the cartridge. The loading station has a cartridge receiving structure and an automated motion control system. When the cartridge is positioned in the cartridge receiving structure, the automated motion control system preferably drives a pair of stepper motors within the cartridge, one for rotating the rotatable drum and one for sliding a pushrod to selectively eject radioisotope seeds and spacers from the cartridge into each of a plurality of implant needles positioned so as to receive the radioisotopes seeds and spacers within the implant needle. In one embodiment, the implant needles are positioned tip first into the loading station, and once a predetermined arrangement of radioisotope seeds and spacers are loaded into the implant needle, a plug is positioned in the tip of the implant needle. Preferably, the automated system includes a computer processor having a touch screen user interface that is connected to and directs the operation of the automated motion control system to load the plurality of implant needles in accordance with a predetermined dose plan.

Abstract: The invention consists in instant detection of any type of analyte using a corresponding ligand treated by a technique of grafting different reagents R1 and R3 of standard markers. The sample is first set on a filter enclosed between two card-type or punched tape-type elements and supporting the reagents R2 and R4. Then a solution of ligand treated with R1 and R3 is set in the same site to migrate with the previously set sample. The method consists in trapping with R2, the ligand prepared with R1 in the absence of the analyte sought in the sample but allowing it to migrate in the filter if the sought analyte is bound to the antigenic determinant of the ligand, hiding from view the reagent R1. The reagent R3 which has migrated with the non-trapped ligand (bound to the sought analyte), chemically or physically reacts with a reagent R4 located further downstream on the filter to produce at the tip of said filter a quantifiable signal when contacted with a substrate or a particular reader. The device is advantageously a credit card type card wherein the filter and its funnel are removable, disposed of after the test, revealing only the signal adjacent to a bar code and an electronic chip.

Abstract: A nucleoside phosphate may be separated from a solution containing it using the ability of the nucleoside phosphate to intercalate into a layered double hydroxide. In particular, a first nucleoside phosphate may be separated from a second nucleoside phosphate by treating a solution containing the first and second nucleoside phosphates with a layered double hydroxide to preferentially intercalate the first nucleoside phosphate into the layered double hydroxide. The layered double hydroxide containing the intercalated nucleoside phosphate may be subsequently treated to recover the nucleoside phosphate. The methods disclosed provide useful procedures whereby nucleoside phosphates of enhanced purity may be obtained.

Abstract: An apparatus for filtering viscous material, in particular thermoplastic synthetic plastic material, comprises a screw ( 24 ), which presses the material to be cleaned from an upstream conduit ( 3 ) of a supply housing ( 2 ) towards a band-shaped screen ( 4 ). The screen ( 4 ) is abutted on its downstream side by a perforated plate ( 6 ) against the pressure of the supplied material. The band-shaped screen ( 4 ) can be displaced for replacement of a soiled band section by a fresh band section. For facilitating this displacement a device is provided, which comprises a closure means ( 30 ) that is disposed on the upstream side of the screen ( 4 ), by which closure means the upstream conduit ( 3 ) for the material to be filtered can be closed at least substantially. On the upstream side of this closure means ( 30 ) a storage space ( 36 ) for material to be cleaned is connected to the upstream conduit ( 3 ). Within this storage space ( 36 ) a piston ( 38 ) is sealingly guided, which is reciprocable by a drive means and closes in its projected position the storage space ( 36 ) against the upstream conduit ( 3 ).

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program instructions for providing location-independent packet routing and secure access in a wireless networking environment, enabling client devices to travel seamlessly within the environment. Each client device (330) uses a constant address. An address translation process that is transparent to the client (330) and server (300) is automatically performed as the device roams through the environment, enabling efficient client migration from one supporting access point to another. Packets sent to and from a client device pass through a Foreign Addess Masquerader, or "FAM" (340). The device's outbound packets (350a) are forwarded (350b) by the FAM to the destination server (300). Inbound packets from the server are sent (360a) to the device's Home Address Masquerader, or "HAM" (310), and are then forwarded (360b) to the FAM, which sends them (360c) to the device. A roaming coordinator (320) enables HAM and FAM connectivity and discovery, and connection migration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for rendering inert dust residue containing silicon metal, left over from trichlorosilane synthesis. The inventive method produces valuable materials containing silicon which can be used in metallurgical processes. According to said method, the process of rendering the residue inert is carried out in several steps. In a first step, 10 to 50 wt. % water, in relation to the quantity of residue, and an at least equimolar quantity of an alkaline compound, in relation to the chloride content of the residue, are added to the residue. Subsequently or simultaneously, the residue is heated to a temperature of 50 to 200° C. In a further step, at least twice the quantity of water is added to this mixture, which is extensively liberated from dissolved salts by filtration and subsequent washing with water.
