Abstract: An apparatus for cooking a food item therein is disclosed. The apparatus has a housing defining an interior and includes at least first and second opposed walls. A rotating member is positioned between the first and second walls of the housing, and the rotating member is capable of engaging and rotating the food item. A drive mechanism is mounted on the apparatus for rotating the rotating member. A heating element is positioned adjacent the second wall of the housing, and a blackbody radiator is positioned between the rotating member and the heating element. The heating element heats a first side of the blackbody radiator and a second side of the blackbody radiator emits radiation in a highly effective wavelength spectrum toward the food item. The apparatus also includes a self cleaning system for cleaning the interior.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing 18F-Fluoride by using a particle beam to irradiate conversion medium in gaseous or liquid form. The irradiated conversion medium is contained in a chamber surrounded by a Fluoride adsorbing material to which the produced 18F-Fluoride adheres. The adsorption properties of the Fluoride adsorbing material are manipulated by an adsorption enhancing/decreasing element. A solvent dissolves the produced 18F-Fluoride off of the Fluoride adsorbing material while it is in the chamber. The solvent is then processed to obtain the 18F-Fluoride.

Abstract: A system and method for producing 18F-Fluroide by using a proton beam to irradiate 180xygen in gasous form. The irradiated 180xygen is contained in a chamber that includes at least one component to which the produced 18F-Fluoride adheres. A solvent dissolves the produced 18F-Fluoride off of the at least one component while it is in the chjamber. The solvent is then processed to obtain the 18F-Fluoride.

Abstract: A removable tab for gaining control of an object, having a predefined weight, that generally comprises: at least one sheet of polymeric film, wherein an opening is provided through the sheet, wherein the film is of a size, thickness and tensile strength that are adapted to support the weight of the object; and an adhesive provided on at least one surface of the sheet of polymeric film having an adhesive strength adapted to enable said adhesive to adhere to and to support or carry the weight of the object and yet still enable the sheet to be peeled from the object without damaging the object; and a method for using the same.

Abstract: Self-contained wrap for a gift comprising, a first panel; a second panel, having a perimeter, fixed to the first panel along a first portion of the perimeter, so that a cavity is formed between the first panel and the second panel which is adapted to enclose the gift therein, and so that at least one opening to the cavity is defined along a second portion of the perimeter which is adapted to allow the gift to be passed through the opening into the cavity; and at least one flap, fixed to the second panel, which is adapted to fold over the opening and to adhere to the front panel; and method for using the wrap.

Abstract: This invention features a hanger assembly for displaying product in a retail store environment, comprising an integral elongated hook member for carrying the product to be displayed, the hook member comprising a proximal end section, a distal end section, and an intermediate portion, wherein the intermediate portion comprises a first, inner, generally straight section adjacent to the proximal end section, and a first arcuate product hanging section adjacent to the inner section and adjacent to the distal end section; and a base member including means for removably fixing the base member to a display panel, the base member defining at least one receiving opening for receiving the proximal end section of the hook member, wherein the hook member can pivot horizontally about the end section, to allow the product being displayed to be moved horizontally.

Abstract: Molten sodium is alloyed with molten lead by using apparatus comprising a vessel adapted to hold molten sodium under gas pressure and a conduit to convey molten sodium under the impetus of gas pressure from a point low in the vessel to a point beneath the lead surface so as to effect alloying of sodium with lead without escape of sodium vapor.
