  • Publication number: 20070071671
    Abstract: An on-column process by which various radioactive-fluorine-labeled compounds can be obtained in a high yield. The process comprises a step in which [18O] water containing [18F] fluoride ions is introduced into a column packed with an anion-exchange resin for labeled-compound synthesis to collect the [18F] fluoride ions, a step in which the column is dehydrated, and a step in which a substrate is introduced into the column to cause a displacement reaction between the [18F] fluoride ions collected in the column and a leaving group of the substrate to thereby obtain a radioactive-fluorine-labeled compound, wherein the step of passing carbon dioxide through the column is conducted between the resin column dehydration step and the substrate introduction step.

  • Publication number: 20070036258
    Abstract: A process for producing a radioactive fluorine compound which comprises a step in which [18O] water containing [18F] fluoride ions is introduced into a column packed with an ion-exchange resin to collect the [18F] fluoride ions and a step in which a substrate is reacted with the [18F] fluoride ions collected, characterized in that the ion-exchange resin is a resin represented by the following general formula (1): (wherein n is an integer of 1 to 10; R represents a linear or branched, C1-8 monovalent hydrocarbon group; P represents a styrene-based copolymer; and Y represents an anion).

  • Publication number: 20060206260
    Abstract: A positioning apparatus having short sensory time for executing the high precision positioning of the user on a map. The positioning apparatus includes: a first positioning unit for obtaining a first position information which represents the position of the positioning apparatus itself measured by carrying out a low precision positioning; a displaying unit for displaying the first position information; and a second positioning unit for obtaining the second position information which represents the position of the positioning apparatus itself measured by carrying out a high precision positioning. The high precision positioning is executed in parallel with the low precision positioning. The displaying unit updates a screen based on the second position information.

  • Patent number: 5419697
    Abstract: An injection-molding metal mold used for injection-molding a body having a precision portion which is formed at high precision includes a molding cavity in which a precision molding portion for molding the precision portion is set to have a heat conductivity higher than that of general molding portions for molding other portions of the body and shortens the time required by a molding cycle to mold a body having a precision portion. Also, an injection-molding metal mold used for injection-molding a body having a precision portion which is formed at high precision includes a molding cavity constituted by a molding member in which a precision molding portion is formed to mold the precision portion and general molding portions for molding other portions. Also provided is an ejector pin, disposed adjacent to the molding member to partially constitute the cavity; for ejecting a molded body; and a cooling unit for cooling the molding member through the ejector pin.
