Abstract:
Systems, methods, and devices for generating radionuclides for use in production of radiopharmaceuticals; synthesizing the radionuclides generated and removing any unwanted products; measuring the quantity and activity level of the synthesized radionuclides; distributively delivering the radionuclides in appropriate quantities to modular cassette synthesis units in a modular cassette subsystem for contemporaneous/parallel production of radiopharmaceutical output and that allow reuse and/or quick, safe, and disposable replacement of portions of the subsystem; delivering non-radionuclide components to the modular cassette synthesis units as part of production of radiopharmaceutical output; measuring the quantity and activity level of each stream of radiopharmaceutical output; purifying the radiopharmaceutical output; dispensing individual doses in sterile vial(s); automatically producing labeling and dose related information; performing automated quality control on extracted samples of produced radiopharmaceutical output; and providing software and hardware controls for overall and sub-portion operation for optional remote data collection, communication, and/or control.
Abstract:
A multilayer film, which is suitable for producing packaged material in a vertical form filling and sealing packaging line, includes: a first skin layer and a second skin layer, each of which independently includes: ≥30.0 wt % and ≤45.0 wt % of an ethylene polymer having a density ≥918 kg/m3 and ≤930 kg/m3; and ≥55.0 wt. % and ≤70.0 wt. % of a first ethylene alpha-olefin copolymer having a density ≥900 kg/m3 and ≤910 kg/m3; and a core layer positioned between the first and second skin layers, where the core layer includes: ≥5.0 wt. % and ≤25.0 wt. % of the ethylene polymer, ≥25.0 wt. % and ≤70.0 wt. % of the first ethylene alpha-olefin copolymer; and ≥25.0 wt. % and ≤50.0 wt. % of a second ethylene alpha-olefin copolymer having a density ≥850 kg/m3 and ≤900 kg/m3.

Abstract:
Disclosed is an alternative fuel fueling station useful for fueling both electrical and hydrogen alternative fuel vehicles simultaneously. The alternative fuel fueling station includes a solid oxide fuel cell, an electrical conduit, and a compressed hydrogen conduit, such that the alternative fuel fueling station can fuel both the electrical and hydrogen alternative fuel vehicles simultaneously.
Abstract:
A strap assembly which may be attached to an overhead hanger is molded with three components used for suspending wires or pipes from an overhead structure such that the three components may be sold and shipped as a single unit, then singulated by the user to use separately. One component is a strap for forming a saddle to hold wires, pipes, and the like; a second component is a dual-function fastener which may be used to permanently attach the strap to a connector, such as a multifunction clip and temporarily fasten the other end of the strap to itself; a third component is a protective tip which may be pushed onto the end of the hanger. The dual-function fastener may be used alone for other purposes.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a modular, mobile mixing and packaging plant for powdery or granular products comprising a carrying structure having dimensions suitable for being introduced in a standard maritime container and internally housing a reception and manual weighing module, a material loading module, a mixing module and a packaging module.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a dialysis acid precursor composition for use during preparation of a dialysis acid concentrate solution and for mixing with water and a bicarbonate containing concentrate into a ready-for-use dialysis solution. Said dialysis acid precursor composition consists of powder components comprising sodium chloride, at least one dry acid and at least one calcium salt, and optionally potassium salt, magnesium salt, and glucose. According to the invention said at least one calcium salt and said optional glucose, are present as anhydrous components in said dialysis acid precursor composition.
Abstract:
A system and a method for maintaining, transferring and transporting a flexible package. The system includes a manipulating system, preferably a five axis robot, for transferring and displacing the flexible package and a lift-assist platform positioned within a reach of the manipulating system for transporting the package and for supporting a weight of the flexible package. The system may be used more specifically for the transport and transfer of upright flexible packages. The system simplifies the tool supported by the robot, thus allowing use of a smaller robot.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a degassing valve for a foodstuff product including a valve body, a one-way valve element positioned on the valve body, and a filter associated with said valve body wherein the filter is configured to facilitate the passage of a gas. The gas may be selected from the group consisting of carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, and methane. Additionally, the gas may be a longer molecular chain gas that comprises the aroma of the product. The filter of the valve body may include activated charcoal, an activated charcoal mixture or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the foodstuff product comprises breadcrumbs, spices, or other flavorful dry foods, the aroma(s) of which can provide an important marketing benefit.
