Abstract: A dense loading system with wave loader is a device intended to maximize and evenly distribute catalyst within a catalyst reactor. More specifically, the device provides a dense loading machine that uses air/nitrogen to propel catalysts within the space of a catalyst reactor. To accomplish this, the system includes a unique arrangement of components that utilizes a hybrid distribution of catalyst through a specifically shaped catalyst distribution disc. Further, the catalyst distribution disc is subjected to both pneumatic and rotational forces with the help of a sparger system and a motor system. In addition, the system provides a dense loading machine that may be operated manually or autonomously. Further, the device may load catalyst in radial waves, may achieve targeted area loading, and includes a gyroscopic auto alignment system for the catalyst distribution disc. Thus, the dense loading system that can efficiently and evenly distribute catalyst within a catalyst reactor.

Abstract: A remotely controllable sublimation apparatus that includes a crucible block adapted to retain a crucible containing a solid mixture comprising one or more radionuclides, a first heating block comprising one or more first heating elements configured to selectively generate heat having a first temperature sufficient to at least partially sublime the solid mixture, and a collection vessel coupled to the first heating block. The crucible block is movable, relative to the first heating block, between an open position and a closed positon. When the crucible block is in the closed position, the one or more first heating elements are configured to heat the crucible block to the first temperature, thereby heating the solid mixture and producing a vapor that is collected by the collection vessel and leaving a solid residue in the crucible that substantially consists only of the one or more radionuclides.

Abstract: This invention serves to repurpose existing ethylene oxide sterilization chambers utilizing a novel chemical means of sterilization. Ethylene oxide is a longstanding gaseous sterilant for medical devices but has increasing problems associated with its hazards. Ethylene oxide is a carcinogenic and explosive chemical, and its emissions can be very harmful and cause serious health risks. Due to this, the FDA and many medical device manufacturers are trying to reduce or eliminate the use of the gas. Chlorine dioxide gas is a nearly identical alternative mode of sterilization that is non-carcinogenic and non-explosive. If firms choose to eliminate the use of ethylene oxide but do not want to waste the capital expenditure on existing sterilizers, they can instead utilize the ethylene oxide-to-chlorine dioxide conversion system of the present invention and use an effective and environmentally friendly form of sterilization in a system they already possess.
