Abstract: The present application provides compositions and methods for imaging traumatic brain injury using PET. The present application discloses using PET ligands targeting infiltrating neutrophils, such as a ligand of FPR, is useful for imaging inflammation. In one aspect, the ligand and imaging agent cFLFLF-PEG-64Cu.

Abstract: In one embodiment an ink cartridge includes: a housing defining an ink holding chamber; and a molded plastic prism having a light reflecting surface exposed to an interior of the ink holding chamber, a cavity therein for relieving strain in the prism as the prism cools from molding, and a textured surface defining one wall of the cavity. In another embodiment, an ink cartridge includes: an ink holding chamber; and a prism having: a base through which light may enter the prism; a reflecting surface exposed to an interior of the ink holding chamber, the reflecting surface oriented relative to the base such that light entering the prism through the base is reflected off the reflecting surface at varying levels depending on a refractive index of an environmental medium surrounding the reflecting surface; and a cavity having a light-scattering surface therein.

Abstract: An interface system for providing access to a plurality of payment networks is provided that displays to a user a single transaction entry screen capable of initiating a monetary payment transaction over any of a number of differing payment networks. The interface is coupled to a display of a remote computer operated by the user. A plurality of such remote computers are coupled to a central computer, which transfers payment requests initiated by the user to the various selected payment networks. Selection logic is provided at the remote computers to allow the operator to select the particular payment network desired for each particular transaction. Upon selection of the desired payment initiation routine, the interface dynamically prompts the user only for data applicable and necessary to complete the particular transaction.
