Publication number: 20240133830Abstract: When x-ray fluorescence (“XRF”) spectroscopy is utilized to classify materials transported on a moving conveyor belt, there is the possibility of the x-ray beam only partially irradiating the material piece, which can result in the capture of an inaccurate XRF spectrum needed to classify the material piece. This can lead to an improper (erroneous) classification and resultant sortation of material pieces (e.g., aluminum alloys). In a material handling system, the area of the intersections between the x-ray beam spots from an x-ray fluorescence system and the material pieces are measured and correspondingly used to correct the measured XRF spectrum associated with each material piece. The material pieces can then be sorted according to the corrected XRF spectrum.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Sortera Technologies Inc.Inventors: Lakshmi Chellappan, Manuel Gerardo Garcia, JR., Giang Not Provide, Casey Hughlett

Publication number: 20240132297Abstract: A sorting system conveys a heterogeneous mixture of material pieces past an XRF system and a vision system. A classification of a material piece is changed to a high copper content aluminum alloy when the XRF system classifies the material piece as a low copper content aluminum alloy and the vision system determines that the material piece is a thin strip material piece. The reclassified material piece is then sorted accordingly.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Applicant: Sortera Technologies Inc.Inventors: Lakshmi Chellappan, Manuel Gerardo Garcia, JR., HOANG TRIET GIANG Le, Casey Hughlett

Publication number: 20240041906Abstract: A process is provided for protecting a primate host from a self-replicating infection by an immunodeficiency retrovirus. Protection is achieved by administering to the primate host a combination of a pharmaceutically effective amount of a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor and a pharmaceutically effective amount of a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor prior to exposure to the immunodeficiency retrovirus. The administration is effective if provided in a single dose within 24 hours of the exposure. A regime of regular daily doses is also effective in providing protection against an immunodeficiency retrovirus becoming self-replicating after infecting a primate host.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 17, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Applicant: The U.S.A., as Represented by the Secretary, Department of Health and Human ServicesInventors: Walid Heneine, Thomas M.
