Abstract: Purifying target biomolecules, such as nucleic acids or proteins, from a biological source is a time intensive process and is typically performed by a skilled technician or scientist owing to the highly technical nature of the work. Systems, devices, and methods disclosed herein enable the automated bioprocessing and purification of target biomolecules from a biological source. For example, an instrument and disposable cartridge are provided for automatedly isolating and purifying nucleic acids (such as plasmid DNA from a bacterial culture) or for isolating protein from any biological sample. Such an exemplary instrument and cartridge can work in concert to timely release, mix, and move the target biomolecule and various reagents and buffers through a target biomolecule purification process, resulting in a purified target biomolecule with less manual oversight than traditional approaches.

Abstract: Provided are linear position sensing systems. In some embodiments, a position sensing system may include a sensor and a magnet assembly adjacent the sensor, wherein the magnet assembly includes a first magnet and a second magnet each having a first width and a first height, and wherein the first width and the first height are different. The magnet assembly may include a third magnet and a fourth magnet adjacent the first and second magnets, each of the third and fourth magnets having a second width and a second height, wherein the second width and the second height are the same.

Abstract: An occupancy detection system consists of a master controller for a series of joined receivers consisting of reader modules and transponder modules in close proximity to one another. The reader modules are able to both send power to the transponder modules wirelessly and receive signals from the transponder modules, where the transponder modules are sending signals based on information received from buckle sensors, occupancy sensors, or both. The transponder modules, set in each seat of the vehicle, will get the latch/unlatch signals from the buckles, and send this information back through the reader modules to the main controller. The main controller will interface with the vehicle to provide user interface notifications.

Abstract: Embodiments herein are directed to steering position rotary sensors including a housing defining an internal cavity, a center shaft extending through the housing, and a gear coupled to the center shaft, wherein the gear is positioned off-center relative to a central rotational axis extending through the center shaft. The steering position rotary sensor may further include a magnet coupled to the gear, a first Hall effect sensor positioned adjacent the gear and concentric with the magnet, and a second Hall effect sensor positioned adjacent the center shaft and concentric with the central rotational axis, wherein the first Hall effect sensor and the second Hall effect sensor are separated by a magnetic shield.
