Publication number: 20230230729Abstract: A wiring harness assembly cell includes an automation zone housing a robot for performing automated assembly operations on a series of wiring harness assembly boards. A plurality of wiring harness assembly stations is located about the automation zone, each including one or more wiring harness assembly boards holding the wiring harnesses. Manual operator zones are located outside the automation zone that are associated with the wiring harness assembly stations. The wiring harness assembly stations are reconfigurable between a first configuration in which a first wiring harness assembly board faces the manual operator zone such that it is accessible to a manual operator, and a second configuration in which it faces the automation zone such that it is accessible to the robot. The robot is moved within the automation zone between a plurality of assembly locations where it accesses and operates on the respectively the plurality of wiring harness assembly stations.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2022Publication date: July 20, 2023Inventor: Nuno José Lopes CARROLO

Publication number: 20230124013Abstract: The present invention in various aspects and embodiments involves the use of CO releasing molecules, such as conjugates comprising tumour-selective ligands and groups capable of releasing carbon monoxide (CO), for exerting immunomodulatory effects in cancer treatment, such as reductions in the expression of immune checkpoint molecules and the level of inhibitory macrophages. This can reduce immunosuppression in tumour tissue and can be useful, for example, in the treatment of immunosuppressive cancers or the treatment of cancers in combination with cancer immunotherapy.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 29, 2021Publication date: April 20, 2023Inventors: Carlos Diogo Labão Alpiarça Sousa De Almeida, Gonçalo José Lopes Bernardes

Publication number: 20110038737Abstract: A system and a method for adding and subtracting stages of compression to a compressor as and when the compressor requires them. If the compressor needs only a low pressure ratio, then the system and method allow the compressor to operate with only a primary pumping circuit spinning, while available additional stages, forming a secondary pumping circuit, and which may be required at other times when the needed pressure ratios increase, are decoupled from the rotating shaft, so that the compressor pumps at its most efficient and flexible point. Further, a system and method for adding and subtracting stages of compression to a compressor in order to increase and decrease the pumping capacity as and when required to satisfy a given load requirement.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 8, 2008Publication date: February 17, 2011Inventors: Ronald David Conry, Henrik Vestergaard Joergensen, Jose Lopes Alvares, JR.
