    摘要: A portable instrument for automatic collection and analysis of airborne lead concentrations in ambient air environments. Its improvements to the art of airborne lead detection and analysis permit the apparatus to analyze samples previously collected by personal monitors, for example, worn on the clothing of personnel working in contaminated sites. The apparatus also brings to the art of lead analysis a method of contaminant collection that ensures a greater capture efficiency of airborne contaminants, thereby increasing the accuracy of the instrument and its measurement capabilities while providing near real-time analysis and measurement in a portable self-contained battery-powered device. The apparatus also offers a remarkable improvement in the reduction of wastes incurred in the collection and analysis of airborne lead contaminants which is a novel method of concentrating the samples and recycling the analysis media used to concentrate and solubilize lead contaminants.

    摘要: A method and apparatus are provided for quantifying molybdate corrosion inhibitor concentrations in lithium halide brines of absorption refrigeration systems. This permits monitoring and control of the inhibitor level. A reagent is chosen for reacting with the molybdate in the brine to provide a readily identifiable characteristic color, the intensity of which is a function and measure of the molybdate concentration. The reagent is an acidified reducing agent which reacts to provide a significant characteristic color capable of optical detection without interference. In a lithium bromide brine, the molybdate concentration is conveniently identified by reaction with stannous chloride SnCl in hydrochloric acid Hcl (). The resulting color corresponds to a wavelength of about 550-560 nm (pink), and the intensity is a function of molybdate concentration. Portable measuring equipment, such as a hand held spectrophotometer, or colorimeter, provide a convenient means for making on-site measurements.

    摘要: This invention provides methods of inhibiting calcification of a soft tissue (e.g., an artery, a heart valve, an atherosclerotic plaque, a cancer, a kidney, a prostate, skin, muscle, cartilage, viscera, and heart muscle) in a mammal. These methods involve inhibiting osteoclastic bone resorption in said mammal (e.g., a mammal diagnosed as having or at risk for a pathology characterized by calcification of a soft tissue). The inhibition is preferably by administration of a bisphosphonate to the mammal in a concentration sufficient to inhibit bone resorption without inhibiting bone mineralization. The methods of this invention can also be used to mitigate a symptom of atherosclerosis in a mammal. Such methods involve inhibiting osteoclastic bone resorption in the mammal. In preferred embodiment, the inhibiting is by administration of a bisphosphonate to the mammal in a concentration sufficient to inhibit bone resorption without inhibiting bone mineralization
