    Abstract: An interstitial source including a base suitable for implanting in a tumor and radioactive atoms of one or more isotopes, which are attached to the base. The radioactive atoms have a radon release rate of at least 0.5 micro-Curie (?Ci) per centimeter length, and emit beta radiation achieving at 2 millimeters from the base an asymptotic dose of at least 10 Gy.

  • Publication number: 20240016107
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a culture facility for aquatic plants, and to a culture facility itself, in which aquatic plants, especially duckweeds, are employed, according to the preamble to claims 1 and 31, and also to a computer program product according to claims 32 and 33. The culture is populated by seeding with aquatic plants initially along a growth sigmoid to a coverage state of more than 50% above the species- and light-dependent coverage limit ascertained beforehand. Thereafter, an amount of 5/?70% of the respective coverage is harvested at cyclically recurring intervals of time, referred to as harvest cycle times. Modelling of the growth process is used to predeterminedly optimize the culture parameters of temperature, carbon dioxide and light and these are then fed into the controller of a harvesting unit or harvesting process as control variables for optimally triggering a harvest time.

  • Publication number: 20230394361
    Abstract: Machine learning model searching using meta data is provided. A system receives, via a graphical user interface from a client device, a request to search for one or more blueprints including one or more models to add to a project. The system can identify, based on a selection, a list of features with which to execute the requested search. The system can provide a blueprint including a model selected from projects established via input from client devices different from the client device, the projects including blueprints, the blueprints including models trained by machine learning. The system can train, via machine learning, the model of the blueprint to determine the target and add the blueprint including the trained model to the project. The system can generate data causing the graphical user interface to display an indication of the blueprint including the trained model.

  • Publication number: 20230390641
    Abstract: A toy system for use in a social play experience. The toy system has a plurality of toy construction elements and a data processing system configured to store a hierarchical task structure. The task structure defines dependencies between a plurality of tasks, a subset of which include construction of respective toy construction assemblies. The data processing system is configured to select one or more tasks and assign to respective play participants. The selection and/or assignment of the one tasks is based at least in part on the dependencies between the plurality of tasks. The data processing system is configured to present, to each play participant to whom a task has been assigned, the corresponding assigned task and receive user-input indicative of a completion of the respective assigned tasks, and repeat until a play completion trigger is fulfilled.

  • Patent number: 11817395
    Abstract: Redeposition of substrate material on a fiducial resulting from charged particle beam (CPB) or laser beam milling of a substrate can be reduced with a shield formed on the substrate surface. The shield typically has a suitable height that can be selected based on proximity of an area to be milled to the fiducial. The shield can be formed with the milling beam using beam-assisted chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The same or different beams can be used for milling and beam-assisted CVD.

  • Publication number: 20230331956
    Abstract: The invention relates to a stabilizer system, in particular for thiol-ene and/or thiol-yne compositions, comprising: at least one free radical scavenger component, at least one acidic component, wherein the acidic component comprises one or more organic acids, and at least one sulfidic component selected from the group of organic sulfides. The stabilizer system according to the invention inhibits undesirable reactions in the thiol-ene composition or thiol-yne composition according to the invention during storage, so that longer storage is possible without influencing the quality. The stabilizer system according to the invention, however, does not mean that an intended reaction of the thiol with alkenes or alkynes in the respective thiol-ene and thiol-yne composition is no longer possible or is no longer possible at a sufficient speed.

  • Patent number: 11731380
    Abstract: A method forms a butt joint between ends of first and second plies and splices the first and second plies together. The method includes the steps of: positioning a first splice edge of a first ply at a first location; positioning a second splice edge of a second ply at a second location, the second splice edge being left bare; wrapping a gum strip around the first splice edge such that the first gum strip forms a U-shaped structure in section that allows the first gum strip to extend from a first planar side of the first ply over the first splice edge to a second opposite planar side of the first ply; not wrapping a gum strip around the second splice edge; placing the first splice edge in abutting relationship to the second splice edge; and stitching the first splice edge to the second splice edge such that stitches each extend from the first planar side of the first ply, through the gum strip, to the first planar side of the second ply.
