Abstract: A portable barium test apparatus is used to perform Modified Barium Swallow Studies (MBSS) on patients in different locations, such as the home of the patient or a care facility. The apparatus includes a hand truck, a U-shaped support, a height-adjusting track, a support carriage, an X-ray generator, and an image-capturing device. The hand truck allows the medical staff to transport the apparatus to the desired location to perform the procedure. The U-shaped support maintains the X-ray generator and the image-capturing device at the desired arrangement to perform the procedure. The height-adjusting track enables the repositioning of the U-shaped support at the desired height to accommodate the patient. The support carriage connects the U-shaped support to the height-adjusting track and maintains the arrangement of the U-shaped support during the procedure. The X-ray generator and the image-capturing device enable the medical staff to perform the MBSS procedure on the patient.

Abstract: A method and device for combustion of liquid fuels is presented which uses a plurality of rotating hydrogen flames to blast atomize and ignite a mechanically dispersed stream of the liquid fuel This combustion method and device are particularly suited for heavy oil fuels, such as vegetable oils, which are not well burned using conventional burner technologies This combustion method involves establishing a zone of combusting hydrogen and projecting a mechanically atomized dispersion of the liquid fuel into and through this zone of combusting hydrogen

Abstract: An monitor system that comprises a radiation rate meter and a dosimeter. The system is a pocket sized, portable, inexpensive, battery operated system and provides an instantaneous and accurate, indication of radiation above threshold levels to which the user has been exposed. The associated dosimeter measures radiation dosage levels and in conjunction with the dosimeter provides an indication of the cumulative radiation above threshold to which the user is subjected within a determined period.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the detection of malignant melanoma. In particular, the present invention relates to systems and methods for the early detection of cancerous lesions.

Abstract: A portable X-ray apparatus comprising a cart carrying an X-ray generator unit and an image intensifier unit, both in a stowed transport position. One of said units is mounted on the distal end of a support arm pivotable mounted on the cart, the arm is moveable from a stowed first position to an operative open position to position the unit it is carrying to be in an open spaced alignment, whereby in the operative position on the two units are effectively on respective tips of a C-shaped configuration thereby allowing a patient to be positioned between the units to enable taking an X-ray of the patient.
