  • Publication number: 20240159039
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a structural frame member which includes a brace member that is used to absorb energy when the structural frame is subjected to loadings such as seismic, wind and gravity loads. The brace member is coupled to a restraining member that increases the buckling capacity of the brace member so that the brace member has approximately the same load axial capacity in compression as in tension. Embodiments of the invention also relate to the design, construction and assembly of the connection of the brace member that couples the brace member to a gusset plate which is coupled to the beam and column in the structural frame.

  • Publication number: 20240141290
    Abstract: The present teachings provide for methods of separating live and dead spermatozoa cells from non-human mammalian sex-selected semen. Sex-selected semen is first treated with proteinase K and TCEP, then applied to a density gradient media for separation. Separation is typically accomplished through centrifugation. Commercially available density gradient media include PERCOLL® and BOVIPURE®. Separation of live and dead cells in sex selected semen allows for precise quantification of sex skew using ddPCR™.
