Abstract: An electrochemical cell that oxidizes a solution provides a continuous and stable supply of an oxidizing ion solution to a fixture or vessel used for the purposes of decontaminating metal and metal alloys. The electrochemical cell includes an anode compartment that oxidizes the solution in nitric acid or methane sulfonic acid at a rate equal to or greater than a rate of reduction, or generates the oxidizing ions prior to use in a batch. The electrochemical cell is part of a larger system that facilitates online measurement system which measures the oxidizing ion solution and the dissolved PuO2, UO2, AmO2, other radionuclides, or other contaminates in real-time. Solution decontamination system removes the dissolved PuO2/UO2/AmO2, other radionuclides, or other contaminates from the oxidizing ion solution, real time acoustic monitoring of the thickness of the surface being contaminated, and automation of a delivery system facilitates flow between surface and electrochemical cell.

Abstract: Non-naturally occurring polypeptides are disclosed that include (a) 3-3 secondary structure elements, wherein each secondary structure element is either an ?-helix (H domain) of between 10-20 amino acid residues in length or a ?-strand (E domain) of between 3-10 amino acid residues in length; and (b) 2-4 linkers of between 2 to 6 amino acid residues in length connecting adjacent secondary structure elements; wherein the polypeptide is between 25-50 amino acid residues in length; and wherein the polypeptide includes no cysteine residues.

Abstract: A tool for the multicomponent injection molding of brush bodies and more particularly of toothbrush bodies, including two tool parts able to be moved towards and away from each other and which between them jointly define a plurality of mold cavities. In accordance with the invention at least two of the mold cavities are permanently associated with different components. The at least one mold cavity, which is permanently associated with the first component to be injected, has a recess in the shaping surface of the one tool part, such recess being able to be shut off by an insert element, which is able to be moved in relation to this tool part and on which a head is formed, which, when the mold cavity is shut off by the insert element, extends into the cavity. The insert element is mounted on a carrier such that a premolding molded in this mold cavity, which is associated with this component to be injected firstly, may be moved into another mold cavity associated with another component.
