  • Patent number: 12503308
    Abstract: An automated robotic replenishment system is described. In an example implementation, the system may include containers adapted to hold items; container transportation devices adapted to transport the containers to a replenishment station; and the replenishment station. The replenishment station may include a container receiving area, a mobile storage unit receiving space, and a robotic arm, which may pick up items from the container in the container receiving area and place the item into a mobile storage unit in the mobile storage unit receiving space. The system may also include an automated guided vehicle that transports the mobile storage unit between the replenishment station and a storage area of a fulfillment center.

  • Patent number: 12357673
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel fusion protein of Flt3L and albumin and its use to increase the Flt3L half-life in vivo and to deliver Flt3L to immune cells in a subject to enhance alternative dendritic cell populations. Use of the fusion protein in combination with other chemotherapeutic, radiotherapeutic and immunotherapeutic methods are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20250094190
    Abstract: A system may provide, by a graphical user interface, a first instruction to a user to perform a first scan of one or more first items at a first location. The system may receive the first scan of the one or more first items and identify, based on the first scan, the one or more first items. The system may update the graphical user interface based on the identified one or more first items and may update a computer file associated with the first instruction to indicate a scan of the one or more first items. Various process or workflows may be determined and proceeded through using scans on a client picking device in an efficient and rapid manner.

  • Publication number: 20240383139
    Abstract: A system may transport a first set of mobile storage units from a storage area to an active picking bay of a robotic picking station, the robotic picking station including a robotic arm, the active picking bay being within a range of motion of the robotic arm. A system may transport a carton to the robotic picking station, for example, using one or more conveyors. A system may instruct the robotic arm to move a first item from the first set of mobile storage units into the carton. A system may transport the carton out of the robotic picking station.
