    摘要: A beam profile scanner includes a probe constructed of a material that will emit electrons when struck by a particle beam such as an ion beam. The probe is passed through the ion beam and the electrons emitted by the probe are detected when they strike a detector surface that is configured and oriented to offer a substantially symmetric view to the moving probe in order to minimize changing capacitance noise. The detector surface is electrically connected to an analyzer circuit that monitors and further processes the current caused by electrons striking the dectector surface and that generates a signal corresponding to the ion beam profile. In the preferred embodiment, the detector surface is a circular metal plate charged to attract electrons emitted by the probe, and the symmetric view of the surface with respect to the probe helps to maintain noise at an acceptably low level. Also, preferably, a preamplifier is connected to and mounted proximate to the detector surface in a vacuum within a detector housing, and both the detector surface, amplifier and probe are disposed inside a grounded shield structure.

    摘要: A lightweight, collapsible frame for holding a plastic trash bag upright to receive trash. The frame includes a triangular base formed from three pivoted strips that can be folded together for storage when not in use. Additionally, the frame includes three tubular posts or props which are removably attachable to the corners of the triangular base in such a way as to stand upright around the space above the base. Each of the tubular posts has a crosspiece fitted to its upper end for pivotal movement between a first position crosswise of the post, where it serves to prop up the wall of a trash bag in the space above the base when the top of the bag is folded down over it, and a second position at right angles to the first for easy packing and storage purposes. A spring clip is fastened to each of the tubular posts near its upper end. A trash bag is attached to the frame for use by placing it in the space separating the upright posts above the base, with its bottom end down; folding its top edge outwardly over the crosspieces on the posts (after each has been placed in the crosswise position mentioned above) far enough to reach the spring clips on the posts; and securing the edge of the bag in the spring clips. The bag is now ready to receive trash.

    摘要: Disclosed are bioluminescent bioreporter integrated circuit devices that detect selected analytes in fluids when implanted in the body of an animal. The device comprises a bioreporter that has been genetically engineered to contain a nucleic acid segment that comprises a cis-activating response element that is responsive to the selected substance operably linked to a gene encoding a bioluminescent reporter polypeptide. In preferred embodiments, the target analyte is glucose, glucagons, or insulin. Exposure of the bioreporter to the target substance causes the response element to up-regulate the nucleic acid sequence encoding the reporter polypeptide to produce a luminescent response that is detected and quantitated. In illustrative embodiments, the bioreporter device is encapsulated on an integrated circuit that is capable of detecting the emitted light, processing the resultant signal, and then remotely reporting the results. Also disclosed are controlled drug delivery systems capable of being directly or indirectly controlled by the detection device that provide drugs such as insulin to the animal in reponse to the amount of target analyte present in the body fluids.

    摘要: A method for simultaneous transmission x-ray computed tomography (CT) and single photon emission tomography (SPECT) comprises the steps of: injecting a subject with a tracer compound tagged with a &ggr;-ray emitting nuclide; directing an x-ray source toward the subject; rotating the x-ray source around the subject; emitting x-rays during the rotating step; rotating a cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) two-sided detector on an opposite side of the subject from the source; simultaneously detecting the position and energy of each pulsed x-ray and each emitted &ggr;-ray captured by the CZT detector; recording data for each position and each energy of each the captured x-ray and &ggr;-ray; and, creating CT and SPECT images from the recorded data. The transmitted energy levels of the x-rays lower are biased lower than energy levels of the &ggr;-rays. The x-ray source is operated in a continuous mode. The method can be implemented at ambient temperatures.
