Abstract: A system including two end inserts each having a first plurality of layers; an intermediate insert having a second plurality of layers; a packaging section; and a rotary die. The first plurality of layers includes at least one layer having a handling portion removed to form a handle member, a positioning portion removed to form a positioning member; and a first supporting portion removed to form a first supporting member. Each of the second plurality of layers can have a second supporting portion removed to form a second supporting member. The first end insert is placed on or proximate to a first end of the rotary die, the second end insert is place on or proximate to a second end of the rotary die, the intermediate insert is positioned on or proximate to an intermediate portion of the rotary die, and the packaging section is positioned approximate the first end, second end, and intermediate inserts and the rotary die.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mixture comprising clothianidin, metofluthrin, and piperonyl butoxide which provides superior insect knockdown and mortality rates, and is especially effective against bed bugs. This mixture of actives may be formulated with adjuvants, such as solvents, anti-caking agents, stabilizers, defoamers, slip agents, humectants, dispersants, wetting agents, thickening agents, emulsifiers, and/or preservatives which increase the activity of the mixture. Mixtures of the present invention have long lasting residual control.

Abstract: A whole body imaging system rapidly forms a quality image of the bony structure, soft tissue or specific organs of a patient who has been injected with a suitable radioactive tracer chemical. A radiation detector head assembly includes a number of detector subassemblies, each having a lead collimator with tapered holes for admitting gamma radiation from a small area of the patient to a scintillation crystal that converts the gamma rays admitted by the collimator into visible or ultraviolet energy pulses. A photomultiplier converts these pulses into electrical pulses. A row of equally spaced detector subassemblies reciprocate within a nonreciprocating lead shield along the long axis of the array over a distance substantially equal to the separation between adjacent ones of the small areas.
