configured on a mobile platform for surveying, monitoring, and analyzing rail
position and superstructure and terrain substructure of railroad tracks or
other structures. The system employs two or more High Accuracy Differential
Global Positioning System devices, ground penetrating radar devices, terrain
conductivity instruments, optical cameras, and data receivers and processors,
which in turn process, display, and store the data in a usable database.
Precise coordinate data generated from a High Accuracy Global Positioning
System provides both location data for subsurface sensors and surface sensors
and rail position coordinates to monitor track displacements during track
inspection in real time.

Method of treating iron overload with acetaminophen
Reducing iron levels and other toxic metals or elements in mammals. The
Marshall University Research … more Reducing iron levels and other toxic metals or elements in mammals. The
Marshall University Research Corporation is seeking a company interested in
commercializing these methods. In a particular aspect, the present invention
relates to methods for reducing free iron ion levels and/or excess and toxic
levels of other elements in mammals, and to the removal of excess iron or
excesses of other metals/elements stored in the organs by administration of
acetaminophen and/or structural or chemical analogues or derivatives thereof.
These compounds may scavenge excess iron or free iron ions in hosts undergoing
anthracycline chemotherapy, as well as hosts suffering from iron overload or
non-iron overload diseases and/or conditions, such as hereditary hemochromatosis,
blood-transfusion related anemias and hemolytic anemias such as thalassemia,
hemodialysis, stroke, and rheumatoid arthritis. Acetaminophen is particularly
preferred in this regard. In a further aspect, the present invention relates to
compositions and formulations useful in the methods disclosed herein. less
