Abstract: The present invention relates to a securement system for securing a medical line or device to a patient, for example, for holding a tube such as a catheter or a drip to the body of a patient. The medical treatment of patients commonly involves the use of percutaneously inserted medical lines to direct fluids directly into the bloodstream, a specific organ or an internal location within the patient, or to monitor vital functions of the patient. A health care professional commonly employs adhesive bandages, plasters or surgical tape to attach a catheter or medical line to a patient, to maintain the catheter or medical line in place with respect to the skin of the patient. To adjust the position of the device the adhesive bandage would have to be removed and replaced. This often leads to poor positioning of the tube because any adjustment causes unnecessary inconvenience and discomfort to the patient and wastes bandages. The present invention seeks to provide an improved line securement device. In particular, the present invention seeks to provide a line securement device which can adapt to various medical devices; can simply enable adjustment of position of the medical device. Specifically, the present invention seeks to provide a simple securement device that retains a medical line in a fixed position relative to an intravenous entry point and is capable of adjustment and simple release of a medical line for dressing changes, inspection and other requirements.

Abstract: There is provided a vending machine that prevents a commodity receptacle from being damaged and a commodity from slipping out thereof by a shock due to falling even if a commodity receptacle undergoes free fall without requiring a complicated structure for preventing the commodity receptacle from undergoing free fall. When it is detected that the fall velocity of a bucket 60 falling due to disconnection of power supply to a second motor 72a of a bucket moving mechanism 70 is equal to or greater than a predetermined speed, a braking force for decelerating the fall velocity of the bucket 60 is intermittently generated and thereby the bucket 60 can be lowered to the lowest point at a speed slower than free fall. This configuration prevents the bucket 60 from being damaged and a commodity from slipping out thereof by a shock due to falling and does not require a complicated structure for preventing the bucket 60 from undergoing free fall. Additionally, the bucket 60 is not locked, and thus the bucket 60 can be manually moved during maintenance work for restarting the vending operation.

Abstract: Recycling of isotopically enriched molybdenum metal targets that are suitable for the large scale cyclotron production of  99m Tc or  94m Tc includes the charged particle irradiation of an enriched molybdenum metal target to produce a technetium isotope, separation of the technetium isotope following irradiation of the molybdenum, re-claiming the molybdenum metal and reformation of the molybdenum target for a further irradiation step. This process may then be repeated. Separation of the technetium isotope preferably is achieved by oxidative dissolution of the molybdenum thereby removing it from a target support plate, and forming molybdate and pertechnetate. The technetium isotope is isolated by various means, such as the ABEC process. To reuse the molybdenum, additional steps of isolating the molybdate and reducing it back to molybdenum metal are required. The recovered molybdenum metal may then be reformed as a target for example by pressing or pressing and sintering, followed by bonding to a target support plate.

Abstract: The present invention is related to an adjustable telescopic fork suitable for changing the ride height of a motorcycle while riding. It is further related to an externally adjustable fork tube assembly (10) for use in a telescopic fork and to a motorcycle comprising the same. According to the invention, the telescopic fork is adjustable by means of an electric motor (103) which alters the pre-tension of the coil spring (102) of the telescopic fork. This allows the fork to be adjusted to compensate for a change in sag during riding as a result of a depleting fuel tank, and/or to switch between different riding characteristics depending on the preference of the motorcyclist or the condition of the road surface.
