Title: Method for manufacturing and increasing the yield of a medical strontium-82/rubidium-82 generator
Inventor: CHUDAKOV VALERY MIKHAILOVICH
IPC: G21G4/08
Filed: 2022-05-25
Abstract: The invention relates to nuclear medical devices, in particular, to the manufacture of radionuclide generators. A strontium-82/rubidium-82 generator includes a generator column with a sorbent based on hydrated tin (IV) oxide, to which the radioactive isotope <sup>82</sup>Sr (half-life of 25.55 days) with the impurity <sup>85</sup>Sr (half-life of 60 days) is applied. <sup>82</sup>Sr decays to short-lived <sup>82</sup>Rb (half-life of 76 seconds). The generator is intended for producing a radiopharmaceutical containing <sup>82</sup>Rb chloride, which is washed off the sorbent and administered to a patient for diagnosing various diseases using positron emission tomography, while the strontium-82 and 85 isotopes should remain on the sorbent and should not pass into the eluate together with <sup>82</sup>Rb. In this generator, the maximum volume of the obtained <sup>82</sup>Rb-containing eluate with a content of <sup>82</sup>Sr and <sup>85</sup>Sr below the permissible level (0.01 and 0.1 kBq per 1 MBq of <sup>82</sup>Rb, respectively) depends on the concentration of ions of stable isotopes of calcium (C<sub>Ca</sub>) and strontium (C<sub>Sr</sub>) on the sorbent arising during the preparation and use of the generator, and is limited by the value of 0.11 C<sub>Ca</sub> + C<sub>Sr</sub>. For example, the production of more than 17 liters of eluate with an acceptable content of <sup>82</sup>Sr and <sup>85</sup>Sr is achieved when this ratio is below 0.67 µmol per 1 g of dry sorbent. The production of more than 30 liters of eluate is achieved when this value is lower than 0.33 µmol per 1 g of dry sorbent (when the weight of specially prepared dry sorbent in the column is not less than 3.8 g).The limits of the amount of calcium and strontium arising on the sorbent during manufacture of the generator are proportional to the weight of the sorbent in the column. Thus, at a relatively low concentration of calcium and strontium ions and with a sorbent weight in the column of more than 3.8 g, a larger volume (31-60 liters) of a radiopharmaceutical in the form of a solution of <sup>82</sup>Rb chloride with the necessary characteristics can be obtained using the generator. A larger volume of radiopharmaceutical allows increasing the number of patients examined with each generator. Also, observing the given limit for the strontium and calcium ion content in the sorbent allows preventing more reliably radioactive strontium isotopes from entering the patient.

Title: Modalities for authorizing access when operating an automated assistant enabled vehicle
Inventor: AGGARWAL VIKRAM
IPC: G10L15/22
Filed: 2019-02-28
Abstract: Implementations relate to enabling of authorization of certain automated assistant functions via one or more modalities available within a vehicle. Implementations can eliminate wasting of computational and communication resources by at least allowing other users to authorize execution of certain input commands from a user, without requesting the user to re-submit the commands. The vehicle can include a computing device that provides access to restricted data, which can be accessed in order for an action to be performed by the automated assistant. However, when a restricted user requests that the automated assistant perform an action involving accessing the restricted data, the automated assistant can be authorized or unauthorized to proceed with fulfilling the request via a modality controlled by an unrestricted user. The unrestricted user can also cause contextual restrictions to be established for limiting functionality of the automated assistant during a trip, for certain types of requests, and/or for certain passengers.
