Abstract: A system of ready-to assemble (RTA) furniture includes rectangular and circular tables. The tables include a base structure that is formed from several panels and/or spars having an interlocking slot engagement. The base structure defines a number of upper edges that form a support surface for the tabletop.  At least some of the edges include a top-locking flange that overhangs a portion of the edge to define a gap therebetween. The tabletop is formed from at least two panels, with at least one of the panels configured for a tight-fit or press-fit engagement within a gap at a top-locking flange to hold the panel in position on the support surface. The panels include complementary inboard edges so that the tabletop panels can be juxtaposed to form a complete tabletop. The RTA furniture system also includes a bed that includes a box-like base structure with slotted side panels. A pair of substantially identically formed end panels can be slid into the slots in the side panels and moved to respective ends of the slots. A pair of center panels extend through a slot in a corresponding side panel for juxtaposition with each other and with the separated end panels. The end panels and center panels can form an interlocking juxtaposition at their respective side edges.

Title: Multi-use multimodal imaging chelates
Inventor: GOEBEL TIMOTHY
IPC: A61K49/00
Filed: 2002-09-04
Abstract: Cyclen-based chelates can be used as contrast agents for multi-modal imaging of tissue cells. The cyclen-based chelates are preferably polyazamacrocyclic molecules formed from 1,4,7,10, tetraazacyclododecane ("cyclen") having varying chelating ions, phosphoester chains, and light harvesting moieties. By changing the chelating ion, phosphoester chain length and/or the light harvesting moiety different imaging techniques, such as MRI, CT, fluorescence and absorption, x-ray and NIR, may be employed to image the tissue cells.  Additionally, the cyclen-based chelates may be conjugated to provide for site-specific delivery of the cyclen-based chelate to the desired tissue cells. The cyclen-based chelates may also be delivered to the tissue cells by attaching the cyclen-based chelates to a polymeric delivery vehicle. Although these cyclen-based chelates have a wide variety of application, the preferred use is for imaging of cancers cells, such as brain cancer, for improving resection of a cancerous tissue.
