Abstract: Disclosed is a beam shaping assembly, including a beam inlet; a target, wherein the target has nuclear reaction with the incident proton beam; a moderator adjoining to the target, wherein the neutrons are moderated by the moderator to epithermal neutrons; a reflector surrounding the moderator, and leads the deflected neutrons back to the moderator to enhance the epithermal neutron beam intensity; and a cooling system, wherein the cooling system comprises a first cooling part for cooling target, a second cooling part and a third cooling part connecting with the first cooling part and extending in a direction parallel to the axis of the accelerating tube respectively, the first cooling part connects with the target in a face to face manner, the cooling medium is inputted into the first cooling part from the second cooling part and is outputted from first cooling part through the third cooling part.

Abstract: A beam shaping assembly for neutron capture therapy includes a beam inlet, a target having nuclear reaction with an incident proton beam from the beam inlet to produce neutrons forming a neutron beam defining a main axis, a moderator adjoining to the target, a reflector surrounding the moderator, a thermal neutron absorber adjoining to the moderator, a radiation shield arranged inside the beam shaping assembly and a beam outlet. The neutrons are moderated to epithermal neutron energies. An outer surface of the moderator includes at least a first tapered section. The reflector leads the neutrons deviated from the main axis back. The thermal neutron absorber is used for absorbing thermal neutrons so as to avoid overdosing in superficial normal tissue during therapy. The radiation shield is used for shielding leaking neutrons and photons so as to reduce dose of the normal tissue not exposed to irradiation.

Abstract: An oral dilator includes a first body, a second body, a rotary member, and a positioning member. The first body includes a housing and a first duckbilled element. The second body includes a second duckbilled element corresponding to the first duckbilled element. The rotary member drives the second body to rotate. The positioning member is on the first body and selectively locks or unlocks the relative position between the first duckbilled element and the second duckbilled element when the second duckbilled element is driven to rotate by the rotary member.

The material of the moderator is subjected to a powder sintering process using a powder sintering device so as to change powders or a power compact into blocks. The reflector leads the neutrons deviated from the main axis back. The thermal neutron absorber is used for absorbing thermal neutrons so as to avoid overdosing in superficial normal tissue during therapy. The radiation shield is used for shielding leaking neutrons and photons so as to reduce dose of the normal tissue not exposed to irradiation.

Abstract: An expander includes a first handle, a second handle, a first supporting member, and a second supporting member. The first handle includes a first gripping portion, a first pivoting portion, a first connecting portion, and an expanding compass. The second handle includes a second gripping portion, a second pivoting portion, and a second connecting portion. The second gripping portion includes a thru groove, and the expanding compass passes through the thru groove. The second pivoting portion is pivoted to the first pivoting portion. The second connecting portion and the second gripping portion are extending from two ends of the second pivoting portion, and the extension direction of the second connecting portion is not parallel to the extension direction of the second gripping portion.

Abstract: An early warning method and a device for preventing a wheelchair from tipping over are described. The early warning method includes projecting a laser light pattern, scanning the laser light pattern, making a comparison to determine whether the ground is a barrier terrain, and issuing an early warning to the user in situations of risk. The laser light pattern is projected onto the ground and compared with a standard pattern. The early warning is generated and is one selected from a group consisting of a beep, a warning message and a vibration to alert the wheelchair user to the danger of the barrier terrain.
