20090283688SCINTILLATOR DEVICE - A detector includes a scintillator crystal having a front face and a rear face, a backplate disposed proximal to the rear face of the scintillator crystal, and a biasing member disposed proximal to the backplate and applying a biasing force to the backplate. In turn, the backplate applies a biasing force to the scintillator crystal in a direction toward the front face. The biasing member comprises a single-turn, round-section wire wave spring.11-19-2009
20100072398METHOD OF FORMING A SCINTILLATOR DEVICE - A method of forming a scintillator device includes inserting a window into a lumen of a window support ring. The window support ring has an annular structure defining the lumen. The lumen extends between first and second ends of the window support ring. The method also includes inserting a scintillator material into a cavity of a housing defined by an annular sidewall of the housing. The housing has an anterior end and a posterior end. The sidewall defines an opening at the anterior end of the housing. The scintillator material is inserted into the cavity via the opening. The method further includes adhering the window to a front face of the scintillator material and coupling the first end of the window support ring to the annular sidewall of the housing at the anterior end to close the opening.03-25-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090280508Methods and Reagents for Preparing and Using Immunological Agents Specific for P-Glycoprotein - This invention relates to immunological reagents and methods specific for a mammalian, transmembrane protein termed Pgp, having a non-specific efflux pump activity established in the art as being a component of clinically-important multidrug resistance in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. The invention provides methods for developing and using immunological reagents specific for certain mutant forms of Pgp and for wild-type Pgp in a conformation associated with substrate binding or in the presence of ATP depleting agents. The invention also provides improved methods for identifying and characterizing anticancer compounds.11-12-2009
