B01J 19/00

US Classification:

424 93, 422187

Abstract:

Methods and apparatuses that facilitate dissolving a hyperpolarized agent within a polarizer and transporting it to a receiver is provided. The methods include delivering water to a hyperpolarized agent contained within a polarizer, forming a hyperpolarized aqueous solution, transporting the aqueous solution through a fluid path system out of the polarizer, filtering the aqueous solution through a partical size exclusion filter to a receiver, and modifying the pH of the filtered hyperpolarized aquous solution with a dissolution medium contained in the receiver. Also disclosed herein are apparatuses for dissolving a hyperpolarized agent comprising a vial for containing a hyperpolarized imaging agent therein, a dissolution fluid path, a delivery fluid path, a particle size exclusion filter, and a receiver connected to the particle size exclusion filter and positioned to receive the filtered aqueous solution of the hyperpolarized imaging agent.

Abstract:

A display apparatus includes a solid state light-emitting element which is mounted on a base in an orientation so that light can be transmitted to a viewer from opposite major sides of the solid state light emitting element. To enable light to be transmitted to a viewer from opposite major sides of the solid state light-emitting element, the solid state light-emitting element is mounted in an on-edge orientation. To mount the solid state light emitting element in an on-edge orientation, support pins engage opposite minor side or edge surfaces of the solid state light emitting element and support it with the major side surfaces of the solid state light emitting element exposed and extending perpendicular to the mounting surface on the base.
