| 20080240330 | Compact Device for Dual Transmutation for Isotope Production Permitting Production of Positron Emitters, Beta Emitters and Alpha Emitters Using Energetic Electrons - A method and apparatus for directing high energy electrons to a converter material that emits gamma rays, which, in turn interact directly with parent isotopes to produce unstable, short-lived medical isotopes and product isotopes by the gamma, n reaction, or which interact with high-z materials to produce neutrons that then produce valuable isotopes by neutron capture in parent isotopes. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090274258 | COMPOUND ISOTOPE TARGET ASSEMBLY FOR PRODUCTION OF MEDICAL AND COMMERCIAL ISOTOPES BY MEANS OF SPECTRUM SHAPING ALLOYS - A neutron generator and method of using the same to produce commercial and medical isotopes. Isotopes are transmuted using fission spectrum neutrons produced in neutron multiplier alloys proximate a target isotope. The produced neutron fission spectrum is tailored or shaped by alloys disposed between the multiplier alloys and the target isotope. The tailoring alloys selectively convert the neutron fission spectrum to a nearly coherent distribution of selected high energy, fast, epithermal, or thermal neutrons. The tailoring alloys are engineered to slow the fission spectrum neutrons to the resonance energies of the selected target isotopes through scattering or hydriding of selected components of high temperature aluminum alloys that optimize neutron capture in engineered target alloys. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100018347 | SEPARATION OF RADIUM AND RARE EARTH ELEMENTS FROM MONAZITE - A method of chemically extracting radium-228, rare earth metals, thorium, the decay products of thorium, and phosphates from thorium-containing ores. The method involves breaking thorium-containing ore into fragments, wetting the fragments with a concentrated strong acid to make a slurry, heating the slurry, passing the heated solution through a first anion exchange column, retaining metals and radium-228 captured on the resin, allowing the radium-228 ions to decay to actinium-228, purifying the actinium-228 fraction, sending the actinium-228 fraction through a capture column, eluting the captured thorium-228 with acid, removing radium from the solution, retaining the radium-228 fraction for isomer in-growth, retaining decay products from the radium-228, separating the REEs from the process stream; and eluting and retaining the REEs. | 01-28-2010 |

| 20090024331 | METHODS AND PROCESSES FOR CALLING BASES IN SEQUENCE BY INCORPORATION METHODS - Computer implemented methods, and systems performing such methods for processing signal data from analytical operations and systems, and particularly in processing signal data from sequence-by-incorporation processes to identify nucleotide sequences of template nucleic acids and larger nucleic acid molecules, e.g., genomes or fragments thereof. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20100161237 | Method and System for Genotyping Samples in a Normalized Allelic Space - Aspects of the present invention describe an apparatus and method for generating genotype calls for a sample.
