Abstract: Lipid-based nanoparticle compositions are provided. The compositions generally comprise lipid-hydrophilic polymer-amyloid binding ligand conjugates, and may be liposomal compositions. The compositions, including the liposomal compositions, may be useful for imaging and/or the treatment of amyloid-? plaque deposits characteristic of Alzheimer's Disease.

Abstract: A cleaning device for cleaning a conveyor system including a slotted track that defines an elongate path along which product is moved and that has opposed glide surfaces from which product is suspended. The conveyor system also includes a wall that is disposed above the track and that cooperates with the track to define a product passageway along the elongate path. The cleaning device includes a drive unit, a wheel rotatably coupled to the drive unit and engageable with the wall within the product passageway to move the drive unit along the slotted track, a glide coupled to the drive unit and engageable with the glide surfaces to support the drive unit on the slotted track, and a cleaning implement coupled to the drive unit to clean the track.

Abstract: A demand fulfillment system and method to provide current supply and demand to generate a work schedule and a material delivery schedule for manufacturing items, particularly commodities, built to customer order. The demand fulfillment system and method uses outstanding customer orders for items as an accurate measure of current demand, and a current state of an available inventory of material for producing the items as an accurate measure of current supply. Customer orders are considered a source of demand from the time the customer order is received until the customer order is fulfilled. Material available to the factory is considered to be part of supply regardless of location of the material. A work schedule and a material delivery schedule are generated periodically using the current state of the available inventory and outstanding customer orders to keep up with consumption of materials and fulfillment of customer orders.

Abstract: A light support and clothes hanger device for combining a light with a clothes hanger bar. The light support and clothes hanger device includes an elongate housing having a top wall and end walls for securely mounting to a ceiling in a building structure; and also includes a light-emitting member securely and removably mounted in the housing; and further includes a plurality of hanger support mounting members securely fastened to the top wall of the elongate housing; and also includes a hanger support member securely mounted to the hanger support mounting members and to the end walls of the elongate housing; and further includes an on/off switch mounted to the elongate housing for energizing the light-emitting member, at least one ballast connected to the on/off switch, and a power cord connected to the on/off switch.

Abstract: A rake for measuring pressures or temperatures in a gas flow includes an elongate member which has a single recess in the front face thereof. Within the recess are located a plurality of sensors. The recess defines a single cavity around the sensors and bleed slots are provided in the side faces of the member which are in fluid communication with the cavity. The sensors are connected to a remote pressure or temperature measuring system. In operation the rake is supported in a gas flow a proportion of which passes into the cavity. The cavity decelerates the gas and removes any swirl so that the sensors take an accurate measurement of the pressure or temperature. The gas then exits the cavity through the bleed slots.

Abstract: A method of assessing a link for a digital communication system and providing a value for a channel or link state parameter, particularly bit error rate, and apparatus for the same, in which an estimate of the probability density function for the channel or link is obtained by categorising decision variables into threshold categories, and comparing the estimated probability density function with stored known probability density functions with each stored probability density function the value of the channel parameter being monitored is stored. The value of the channel parameter being monitored is determined by selecting the value associated with the stored probability density function closest resembling the estimated probality density.
