Abstract: A positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer for imaging lactate uptake, wherein the tracer is [18F]-3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid, or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt and/or solvate thereof. Also, a process for the radiosynthesis of [18F]-3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid, or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt and/or solvate thereof. Further, the use of [18F]-3-fluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid, or a pharmaceutical acceptable salt and/or solvate thereof, for imaging lactate uptake in living cells, especially in humans.

Abstract: A positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer for imaging lactate uptake, wherein the tracer is a [18F]-labelled lactate derivative. Also, a process for the radiosynthesis of the [18F]-labelled lactate derivative. Further, the use of the [18F]-labelled lactate derivative for imaging lactate uptake in living cells, especially in humans.

Abstract: An imaging apparatus includes a frame and a maintenance sled movably coupled to the frame. The maintenance sled includes a carrier engagement member. A printhead carrier is coupled to the frame. A carrier motor is drivably coupled to the printhead carrier. A controller is coupled to the carrier motor. The controller controls the carrier motor to drive the printhead carrier at the first velocity and at a second velocity. The second velocity is lower than the first velocity. The printhead carrier is controlled to move at the first velocity toward the maintenance sled, wherein prior to the printhead carrier contacting the carrier engagement member to the maintenance sled, the printhead carrier is decelerated from the first velocity to the second velocity.

Abstract: A backup roller is formed by a member having a rotational axis and a circumferential region around which a plurality of teeth are arranged. Each tooth of the plurality of teeth has a tip end extending in a direction away from the rotational axis. When the backup roller is rotated the tip end of each of the plurality of teeth sequentially extends toward the rotational axis of a drive roller at an angle non-orthogonal to the rotational axis of the drive roller.

Abstract: An image recording apparatus with slidably opening scanner bed is provided. The scanner bed includes an interface for releasing the scanner bed from a first position. The scanner bed may be biased by an actuation device in order to urge the scanner bed when the interface is activated from the first position to a second position. The scanner bed preferably is slidably positioned on a base housing of an image recording device and, when actuated to a second position reveals a cartridge changing station within the base housing.

Abstract: A printhead capping assembly includes a cap holder and a printhead cap. The cap holder defines a cavity and a vent exit. The printhead cap has a base and a lip portion extending from the base. The lip portion defines an open interior region. The base is inserted into the cavity of the cap holder. The base includes a serpentine channel extending from the open interior region to the vent exit of the cap holder.
