Abstract: When imaging bright objects, a conventional detector array can saturate, making it difficult to produce an image with a dynamic range that equals the scene's dynamic range. Conversely, a digital focal plane array (DFPA) with one or more m-bit counters can produce an image whose dynamic range is greater than the native dynamic range. In one example, the DFPA acquires a first image over a relatively brief integration period at a relatively low gain setting. The DFPA then acquires a second image over longer integration period and/or a higher gain setting. During this second integration period, counters may roll over, possibly several times, to capture a residue modulus 2m of the number of counts (as opposed to the actual number of counts). A processor in or coupled to the DFPA generates a high-dynamic range image based on the first image and the residues modulus 2m.

Abstract: A method is provided to purify [F-18]FEONM under a high pressure. The synthesis processes of [F-18]FEONM are integrated. An isolation process of non-toxic radio-high performance liquid chromatography (radio-HPLC) is used to purify the crude product. The method integrates a convention [F-18]FDG synthesizer and a novel radio-HPLC system together in a heat chamber. After radiofluorinating the precursor, the reaction product is purified with an alumina solid-phase column in advance to obtain the crude product while fluorine-18 is removed. Then, diphenyl semipreparative HPLC column is used for a final purification. A non-toxic solvent is used for mobile-phase eluting to remove the unreacted precursor and the phase-transfer solvent. The radiofluorination has a reaction yield about 50 percent (%). The method has an uncorrected radiochemical yield of 10˜20%. Both of the radio-HPLC and the radio-thin layer chromatography (radio-TLC) have radiochemical purity higher than 95%.

Abstract: A fast blind plate switching device, comprising a sealing structure, a clamping structure, a support structure and an execution mechanism. The blind plate has an open-state structure and a blind-state structure. The support structure is used for connecting pipelines at two sides and providing support for the whole device. The clamping structure and the sealing structure are located inside the support structure. The clamping structure is driven by the execution mechanism, and under the drive of the execution mechanism, the clamping structure presses on the blind plate (1) to eliminate a gap between two sides of the blind plate, so that a seal is formed by means of the sealing structure. When a gap is formed away from the blind plate (1), the open/blind state of the blind plate (1) is switched.

Abstract: Surface conduction in porous media can drastically alter the stability and morphology of electrodeposition at high rates, above the diffusion-limited current. Above the limiting current, surface conduction inhibits growth in the positive membrane and produces irregular dendrites, while it enhances growth and suppresses dendrites behind a deionization shock in the negative membrane. The discovery of uniform growth contradicts quasi-steady “leaky membrane” models, which are in the same universality class as unstable Laplacian growth, and indicates the importance of transient electro-diffusion or electro-osmotic dispersion. Shock electrodeposition could be exploited for high-rate recharging of metal batteries or manufacturing of metal matrix composite coatings.
