Data from a nuclear medicine study is classified in real time into categories which include image data relating to image pixels which are essential covarient. The results of the classification process permit a determination of, e.g., whether the camera is properly positioned at an early stage of the study and long before the study is completed. It is then possible to reposition the camera so as to...

CONTAINER LINER SYSTEM FOR BULK TRANSFER This invention relates to systems of handling flowable cargo in lined cargo containers. An inflatable, self-installing liner configured to line the container, when inflated, is installed and inflated within the container. A transparent, rigid bulkhead keeps the filled liner from transferring load directly to access doors to the container. Special inflatable...

Aqueous thiocarbonate solutions are stabilized by the addition of base, sulfide and/or polysulfide and the stability and safety of the more concentrated solutions containing 1 weight percent or more equivalent CS2 as a thiocarbonate are achieved as reflected by significant reduction of CS2 partial pressure in such solutions. Such stabilized thiocarbonate solutions are useful for the control of pes...
