Title: X-ray apparatus for applying a predetermined flux to an interior surface of a body cavity
Inventor: SMITH DONALD O
IPC: G01N23/083
Filed: 1995-07-11
Granted: 1997-12-18
Abstract: The present invention is directed to an x-ray source for irradiating a surface defining a body cavity in accordance with a predetermined dose distribution. The source comprises a housing, an elongated tubular probe, a target assembly, and an inflatable balloon. The housing encloses an electron beam source and includes elements for generating an electron beam along a beam path. The tubular probe extends along a central axis from the housing about the beam path. The target assembly extends along the central axis and is coupled to the end of the probe distal from the housing. The target assembly includes a target element is positioned in the beam path. The target element is adapted to emit x-rays in response to electrons incident thereon from the beam. The probe tip assembly and associated control electronics include elements for positioning the target element in the beam path, and is substantially x-ray transparent. The balloon is affixed to the distal end of the probe and is inflatable so that when that probe end is inserted into a body cavity, the balloon may be inflated to stretch the cavity to a known shape. Positioning the probe tip inside the inflated balloon allows delivery of a uniform, or other desired, dose of radiation to the surface defining a body cavity.

Inventor: GUAN MING
IPC: G01N33/558
Filed: 2001-01-25
Granted: 2005-08-11
Abstract: Assay devices, kits, and methods for detection of one or more analytes in a sample are provided. The assay device features the controlled release of reagents and hence is particularly suitable for binding assays such as immunoassays. The assay device achieves greater sensitivity than conventional rapid test assays, leading to stronger and/or more stable visual signals than those produced by conventional devices, easier interpretation of results, and reduced occurrence of indeterminate results. The device can be used for detecting analyte in a variety of biological samples without the need for conventional sample filtration techniques, and thus is suitable for use by untrained personnel without specialized equipment. In addition, the device can be used to simultaneously analyze a number of analytes using a single sample.

Filed: 1989-05-18
Granted: 1992-06-25
Abstract: A data processing system provides annotation of a document with annotations inputted through an electronic tablet, a keyboard and an audio assembly. The annotations are entered in a modeless operation of the three input streams. Input by the tablet utilizes a two ended pen. One end of the pen is used for writing annotations to be added to a document and the second end of the pen is used for erasing the added written annotations. Files record the annotations made to the document in a manner which allows a time sequenced playback of the annotations including handwritten, typed and voiced annotations. A state machine of various procedures and controllers which call the procedures is used for processing the annotations as they are made, for replaying the annotations at a subsequent desired time, and for printing the annotations.

Title: Automated lumber unit tracking system
Inventor: AMAN JAMES A
IPC: G01S5/02
Filed: 1995-12-14
Granted: 2001-05-03
Abstract: On Fork Lift 100, Load Cell Assemblies 40a and 40b are affixed to Fork Arms 32a and 32b and as such are capable of determining the weight of any object lifted by Fork Arm Lift Assembly 30. Continuous weight information is transmitted from Assemblies 40a and 40b to Fork Lift Computer 52 via wires and IR Transmitter 44 and Receiver 48. Changes in weight information are interpreted as load engagement and disengagement by Computer 52, which then responds by receiving the current relative vertical height of Fork Arm Lift Assembly 30 from Ultrasonic Distance Measuring Unit 56. The Computer 52 then transmits, via Telescoping Antenna 70, an uniquely encoded signal with both weight and height information to Stationary Elevated Locating Modules such as 74a and 74b, which have been strategically placed throughout the operating range of Fork Lift 100. This signal is then transmitted to Unit Tracking Computer System 80 by Locating Modules such as 74a and 74b. Using conventional tracking technology, the Computer System 80 determines the current x-y coordinates of transmitting Fork Lift 100 and communicates this information along with the transmitted z coordinate and weight to the Office Computer System 84. Computer System 84 is capable of storing this information is a database of like information for the purposes of tracking the exact three dimensional location and weight of the objects which are being moved by vehicles such as Fork Lift 100.

Abstract: A belt conveyer system where along various sections great differences in height must be overcome. A conveyer belt that is initially spread flat is guided in steeply inclined stretches to form a closed hose. To satisfactorily transport, without loss, even difficult-to-handle, fine-particled material, the transition from a steep section into a horizontal section, or even to a discharge station, the steadily opening cross-sectional area is a critical process. To avoid the danger of disruption, a cover belt is provided that extends over the transition zone. The lower run of this cover belt extends into the opening hose cross-section of the conveyer belt, rests directly upon the transported material, and is supported on both sides on the edges of the conveyer belt.

Title: Silica from single phase controlled hydrolysis
Inventor: MCDANIEL MAX PAUL
IPC: C08F10/00
Filed: 1981-04-07
Granted: 1985-09-19
Abstract: A method comprising combining a silicate ester and water under hydrolysis conditions in the presence of a sufficient amount of solvent that the reaction mixture remains as a single phase, adding sufficient acid neutralizing agent to form a gel and separating solvent and water from the resulting silica. In a preferred embodiment, the ester and water are added to a very small amount of solvent, the addition of water being sufficiently slow that it is added at about the rate it is used up in the hydrolysis reaction. The resulting silica does not require the washing step to remove alkali metal ions since it is not made from sodium silicate, and it has large pore structure because it can be made in a relatively concentrated solution because of the use of only a minimum amount of solvent and also because the hydrolysis is carried out under conditions wherein only a single phase is produced. The resulting silica is suitable for chromatographic columns and fillers in rubber and plastics but is of primary utility as a base for a chromium oxide catalyst because of its simplicity in production and inherent large pore volume.
