Publication number: 20170143745Abstract: A process is provided for protecting a primate host from a self-replicating infection by an immunodeficiency retrovirus. Protection is achieved by administering to the primate host a combination of a pharmaceutically effective amount of a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and a pharmaceutically effective amount of a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor prior to exposure to the immunodeficiency retrovirus. The administration is effective if provided in a single dose within 24 hours of the exposure. A regime of regular daily doses is also effective in providing protection against an immunodeficiency retrovirus becoming self-replicating after infecting a primate host.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 13, 2017Publication date: May 25, 2017Applicant: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, as represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human ServInventors: Walid Heneine, Thomas M.

Publication number: 20170014868Abstract: A material sorting system sorts materials, such as scrap pieces composed of unknown metal alloys, as a function of their detected x-ray fluorescence. The x-ray fluorescence may be converted into an elemental composition signature that is then compared to an elemental composition signature of a reference material in order to identify and/or classify each of the materials, which are then sorted into separate groups based on such an identification/classification. The material sorting system may include an in-line x-ray tube having a plurality of separate x-ray sources, each of which can irradiate a separate stream of materials to be sorted.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2016Publication date: January 19, 2017Inventors: Manuel Gerardo Garcia, JR., Nalin Kumar
