    Abstract: An irradiation target positioning device and method for creating radioisotopes utilizing linear particle beam accelerators or cyclotron accelerators is disclosed. The device positions a target proximate to a liquid reservoir and vapor expansion chamber. The target may be in a solid phase. Heat produced within the target during irradiation can be absorbed by the liquid. The liquid may be heated to its vaporization temperature and vapor emitted into the vapor chamber. The vapor chamber may utilize a cooling mechanism, for allowing the vapor to condense (second phase change). A radioactive product may diffuse into the liquid, thereby allowing the irradiated product to be conveyed out of the target structure in a liquid, solution, or slurry. Multiple radioisotopes may be produced simultaneously out of the target material and liquid and separated later. The target material and the irradiated product may be removed from the target surface by acid.

    Abstract: The disclosure pertains to an automated apparatus for filling capped needle syringes. The syringes are held in a rotatable motor controlled carousel. The carousel turns to place a syringe proximate to a dispenser mechanism. A rotatable plate on top of the dispenser mechanism holds an automated cap extractor/installer and at least one inverted vial having a needle perforatable surface. The rotatable plate can also move up and down relative to the top of the dispenser mechanism. The cap can be removed by the automated cap extractor/installer and the rotatable plate rotated to place the inverted vial over the exposed syringe needle. The rotatable plate can descend so that the needle perforates the surface of the vial. A syringe plunger tool of the dispenser mechanism engages the syringe plunger and pulls it downward. The syringe plunger tool can disengage and return to its original position. The rotatable plate can raise to remove the needle from the vial. The rotatable plate can rotate to place the automated cap extractor/installer over the exposed needle. The automated cap extractor/installer holding the syringe needle cap can descend and the cap reattached to the syringe. The carousel can rotate to present the filled and capped syringe to an automated syringe inverter/extractor component that removes the capped syringe from the carousel and places the syringe in a holder.

    Abstract: An automated syringe filler is disclosed comprising a housing and motor with a rotatable syringe holder plate that can be raised and lowered onto exposed syringe needles. The housing also has components for one or more syringes to be attached with the needles pointing upward and the syringe plungers moveably positioned at the bottom. The syringe plunger tool controls the movement of the syringe plunger and can be horizontally and vertically positionable. The syringe plunger tool is motorized and can be controlled by a CPU or similar device containing programmable media.

    Abstract: An automated method for the filling of syringes including the steps of holding an uncapped syringe in a vertical position with an exposed needle extending at the top. A horizontally rotatable plate holding inverted vials of liquid with needle perforatable septum is position above the needle. The motorized plate with the positioned vial descends on the needle perforating the septum. The syringe plunger can be lowered using a motorized plunger tool and drawing liquid into the syringe. The vial and plate can be elevated separating the needle from the septum. The plate can be optionally rotated to position a second vial above the needle. The needle, now filled with liquid, e.g., medicine can also be removed from the holder. The method can be combined with a cap extractor/installer component. The apparatus comprises a motor driven rotatable plate, a motorized syringe plunger tool. It can comprise a motor controlled rotating carousel.

    Abstract: An automated cap extractor/installer is disclosed comprising a cap access space, a rack and modified pinion, a solenoid actuator and a position sensor. The modified pinion has a flat surface with two edges and the flat surface can be positioned proximate to the cap access space. The modified pinion is in communication with a rack component communicating with a solenoid actuator causing the pinion to rotate. When a capped syringe is positioned in the cap access space, a signal can be sent by the position sensor to the solenoid actuator. The solenoid actuator moves, causing the pinion to rotate and grip the syringe cap. The solenoid actuator and components can be moved vertically and thereby pulling the cap off the syringe. A rotating cam device can be substituted for the modified pinion. The process can be reversed to install the cap on a syringe.
