Abstract: The present disclosure provides an irradiation treatment apparatus having a generally vertical patient support surface; a patient securing mechanism arranged to secure a patient in a fixed relation to the patient support surface; a rotation platform secured at one end of the patient support surface and arranged to rotate the patient support surface about a generally vertical axis and optionally translate the patient support surface at least partially about a plane generally orthogonal to the generally vertical axis; an imager exhibiting a first mode in which the imager occludes radiation from a fixed beam irradiation source and a second mode in which the imager enables irradiation from the fixed beam irradiation source; and a vertical translation mechanism in communication with the patient support surface and arranged to translate the patient support surface along the generally vertical axis from a loading position to an irradiation position.

Abstract: An ammunition magazine formed of plastic and including a housing defining an opening, a bullet support plate located in the housing, a spring disposed in the housing and underneath the support plate for urging bullets towards the opening, the opening being configured to provide retention of bullets located in the housing; and reinforcing associated with the housing adjacent the opening for preventing fracture of the housing upon impact.
