Publication number: 20210272766Abstract: A fluid-cooled compact x-ray system includes a compact x-ray tube and a coolant channel coupled thereto. The compact x-ray tube includes a tube housing defining a longitudinal axis, and an electron source in the tube housing and coaxial with the tube housing. The electron source is configured to generate an electron beam. The compact x-ray tube also includes an anode coaxial with the tube housing, the anode defining a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and including a target material, and an electron focusing mechanism in the tube housing and configured to focus and accelerate the electron beam to the anode. The target material of the anode generates a high-energy x-ray beam as a result of bremsstrahlung interaction. The anode defines an interface between the tube housing and the coolant channel. The coolant channel includes a channel housing, and a coolant configured to dissipate heat from the anode.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2019Publication date: September 2, 2021Inventors: Hyoung Koo Lee, Ashish Avachat, V, Wesley William Tucker

Patent number: 10758483Abstract: The present invention provides therapeutic formulations, including therapeutic nanoemulsions, and related methods for the in vivo delivery of hydrophobic compounds, including an important class of hydrophobic anesthetics. Formulations and methods of the invention include semifluorinated block copolymers and perhalogenated fluorous compounds, such as perfluorooctyl bromide or perfluorodecalin, capable of forming a stable nanoemulsion without the need of conventional lipid components that support bacterial and/or fungal growth (e.g., soybean oil and similar lipids). In certain embodiments, emulsion-based formulations are provided that are capable of formulating, delivering and releasing amounts of hydrophobic drugs effective for a range of clinical applications, including inducing and maintaining anesthesia in patients.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2015Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: Wisconsin Alumni Research FoundationInventors: Sandro Mecozzi, Robert A.

Publication number: 20190216072Abstract: Fishing floats are provided with a buoyant float body, an elongate support spindle having proximal and distal ends, and a fletching member attached to the proximal end of the float body. The float body is connected to the support spindle to allow reciprocal rectilinear movements of the float body along the support spindle between the proximal and distal ends thereof. The support spindle is of a length such that the fletching member is positioned in spaced and abutted relationships relative to the float body in response to the reciprocal rectilinear movements of the float body between the proximal and distal ends of the support spindle. In such a manner, the float body may be stabilized during casting as well as providing a visual strike indication.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2017Publication date: July 18, 2019Inventors: William Tucker HOGE, Don S.
