Abstract: The needle combination includes an insertion stylet which has a small diameter and is rigid. The tip of the insertion stylet is sharp for ease of insertion into the prostate. A needle sleeve has a larger diameter than the insertion stylet and is inserted into the prostate around the insertion stylet. A needle is loaded with radioactive seeds and spacers and is inserted, along with an implant stylet, into the sleeve after the insertion stylet has been removed. The needle and the sleeve are then removed together, while holding the implant stylet in place, so that the seeds are deposited in the prostate in desired locations.

Abstract: A heating and incineration device includes a heating chamber for being connected to a heating application. A process stream is recirculated between the heating chamber and the heating application. An incineration tube is positioned into the heating chamber for providing the only exit for gases from the heating chamber and the heating application. A heat source is positioned within the heating chamber in spaced coaxial relation with an incineration tube inlet. The process stream is heated to a working temperature when it is passed through the heating chamber around the periphery of the heat source. The heat source is directed at the incineration tube inlet, so that the highest temperature inside the heating chamber is concentrated along an axis between the heat source and the incineration tube inlet. The distance between the incineration tube inlet and the heat source is adjustable for controlling the temperature inside the incineration tube. Pollutants in the exhaust gases flowing out through the incineration tube are incinerated by the very high temperature inside the tube. Energy efficiency is thus significantly increased by recirculating the process stream, by exhausting a small amount of gases, and by heating the process stream and incinerating pollutants with a single heat source.
