An automated cartridge for use in an automated system for low dose radioisotope procedures is replaceable in the automated system and has a housing that contains a selectively positionable member having a plurality of radioisotope seeds preloaded in chambers defined in the positionable member. An aperture in the housing allows an elongated member to selectively eject radioisotope seeds from chambers in the positionable member when a given chamber is aligned with the aperture. A mechanism in the cartridge automatically positions the selectively positionable member in alignment with the aperture. Preferably, a feedback mechanism generates a positional feedback signal of a position of the chambers of the positionable member relative to the aperture.

A two-piece molded folding toy comprising: a first basin with an outer surface, an inner surface and two recesses spaced apart and facing away from each other; and a second basin with an outer surface, an inner surface and two projections spaced apart from each other, the second basin is connected to the first basin; wherein one recess cradles one projection when the folding toy is either opened or closed and the second projection engages the second recess in a locking arrangement when the folding toy is opened. 11. The folding toy of claim 10, wherein the first basin includes an extension; and the spaced apart recesses are positioned in the extension. 12. The folding toy of claim 10, wherein the first basin includes a top and a bottom; and the spaced apart recesses include a channel positioned in the top of the first basin and a groove positioned in the bottom of the first basin. 13. The folding toy of claim 12, wherein the second basin includes a top and a bottom; and the spaced apart projections include a rod extending from the top of the second basin and a bead extending from the bottom of the second basin. 14. The folding toy of claim 13, wherein the groove lockingly engages the bead such that the bead exerts a force upwardly on the groove and the rod pivots within the channel such that the rod exerts a force downwardly on the channel thereby locking the first and second basin in an open position. 15. The folding toy of claim 13, wherein the bead disengages from the groove when the second basin rotates towards the first basin. 16. The folding toy of claim 10, wherein the first basin includes a number of legs for supporting the first basin in a raised position; and the second basin includes a number of legs for supporting the second basin in a raised position. 17. The folding toy of claim 16, wherein the legs of the second basin are removable when the second basin covers the first basin thereby forming a table top surface. 18. The folding toy of claim 10, wherein the first basin is formed into a single molded piece; and the second basin is formed into a single molded piece. 19. The folding toy of claim 10, wherein an abutment is positioned adjacent one of the recesses for maintaining one of the projections in a locked position, whereby the projection overcomes the abutment when rotated from the recess to a disengaged position. 20. The folding toy of claim 10, wherein the second basin covers the first basin to form a closed toy, whereby the second basin may be lifted up and off of the first basin. 21. A two-piece molded folding toy comprising: a first basin having an outer surface and a cavity with an inner surface; a second basin connected to said first basin, said second basin having an outer surface and a cavity with an inner surface wherein said second basin is hingedly connected to said first basin; and a raised structure positioned within the cavity of the second basin, the second basin folds over the first basin so that the inner surface of the second basin faces the inner surface of the first basin, and wherein the raised structure within the cavity of the second basin is positioned in the cavity of the first basin, whereby the raised structure prevents entrapment by occupying space in the cavity of the first basin when the cavity of the second basin covers the cavity of the first basin, such that the first basin and second basin are unable to close upon and entrap a child positioned in either cavity. 22. The folding toy of claim 21, wherein the raised structure is a recreational activity center having a waterway path and movable bridges.
