Flexible foam resistive heaters are prepared by coating a foam or fabric with an electrically conductive layer, and connecting electrodes to the coated foam or fabric, forming flexible lead (busbar) connections with low contact resistance for superior uniformity and lower power utilization than conventional technology. The coated foam or fabric may optionally be infused with other compositions, such as a fragrance, drug, prodrug, or insecticide, leading to many types of applications for the resistive heater.

Flexible foam resistive heaters and methods of making flexible resistive heaters

A valve for permitting mixing of at least two components within a barrel is provided including a stopper configured for slidable liquid-tight engagement with an inner surface of the barrel. The stopper is moveable between a first position and a second position and includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a channel extending therebetween. The valve further includes a stationary body comprising a base and a stem, the stem being disposed within the channel of the stopper when the stopper is in the second position. When the stopper is in the first position, there is a liquid-tight seal in the channel, such that fluid flow through the channel is prevented. Movement of the stopper to the second position terminates the liquid-tight seal, thereby establishing fluid communication through the channel. A drug containing device and assembly for delivering a reconstituted drug are also provided herein.

Valve permitting mixing in a drug delivery device

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.

Systems, methods and devices for producing, manufacturing and control of radiopharmaceuticals

Flexible foam resistive heaters prepared with conductive coatings are described. The invention also includes methods of making flexible lead (busbar) connections with low contact resistance for superior uniformity and lower power utilization than conventional technology.

Vessel assembly

A closed path vial fill system includes a bulk product vial, a peristaltic pump operated by a stepper motor, a dispensing manifold assembly to which may be coupled at least one final product vial, an optional quality check station, and an optional waste collection system. A concentration, activity, and volume (CAV) sensor may be incorporated into the system to receive a radiopharmaceutical product directly from a synthesizing unit. A control system may be integrated into the system to provide automated control of various aspects of the radiopharmaceutical dispensing process. The system is used to aseptically dispense finished radiopharmaceuticals into receiving vessels, such as a Quality Control vial, a sterility vial, and/or final product vials, while providing users an efficient means for removing and discarding contaminated disposable components.

Closed vial fill system for aseptic dispensing

A valve () for permitting mixing of at least two components within a barrel () is provided including a stopper () configured for slidable liquid-tight engagement with an inner surface () of the barrel. The stopper is moveable between a first position and a second position and includes a proximal end (), a distal end (), and a channel () extending therebetween. The valve further includes a stationary body () comprising a base () and a stem (), the stem being disposed within the channel of the stopper when the stopper is in the second position. When the stopper is in the first position, there is a liquid-tight seal in the channel, such that fluid flow through the channel is prevented. Movement of the stopper to the second position terminates the liquid-tight seal, thereby establishing fluid communication through the channel. A drug containing device and assembly for delivering a reconstituted drug are also provided herein.

Provided herein are methods, systems, and devices for detecting and/or identifying one or more specific microorganisms in a culture sample. Indicator particles, such as surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-active nanoparticles, each having associated therewith one or more specific binding members having an affinity for the one or more microorganisms of interest, can form a complex with specific microorganisms in the culture sample. Further, agitating magnetic capture particles also having associated therewith one or more specific binding members having an affinity for the one or more microorganisms of interest can be used to capture the microorganism-indicator particle complex and concentrate the complex in a localized area of an assay vessel for subsequent detection and identification. The complex can be dispersed, pelleted, and redispersed so that the culture sample can be retested a number of times during incubation so as to allow for real-time monitoring of the culture sample.

Basket

Connection apparatus for connecting frame members and panel members is provided for constructing a storage building primarily from sheet metal. The apparatus utilizes connecting members that may be made from thermoplastic or metal materials. The number of threaded fasteners and time required to assemble the storage building is reduced dramatically from that of prior designs.
