  • Patent number: 8098789
    Abstract: The present invention relates to targets, systems and methods for the cyclotron production of 124I from aluminum telluride (Al2Te3) targets. The systems and methods utilize low energy proton cyclotrons to produce 124I by the 124Te(p,n) reaction from enriched Al2Te3 glassy melts. The 124I is recovered in high yield from the glassy melt by adapted methods of common thermal distillation techniques.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6995867
    Abstract: A program method of converting a multiple color file to a two-color, or limited color file, so that an image contained therein can be printed upon a receipt, Point Of Sale, or two-color printer. Most multiple color files that contain logos and graphics cannot be successfully reduced in color by automatic or computer generated methods. The programmatic method of this invention contains a second-stage routine that requests viewer participation and input. The resulting printed or displayed image is visually acceptable by reason of this viewer input.

  • Publication number: 20050237555
    Abstract: A method for counting the number of times a graphic object is printed by a POS system. If a graphic object is to be printed, its predetermined ID (or type ID in the case of a surround graphic) is looked up in the counting table and, if present, the count is incremented. If the incrementing of the count results in a counter rollover, the event is recorded in the Flash memory and the RAM table for later status reporting. Finally, a check is made to see if the update interval has been reached and, if so, the value is written to the Flash memory and incremental counting is restarted.
