Abstract: A system and method for operation of an autonomous vehicle (AV) yard truck is provided. A processor facilitates autonomous movement of the AV yard truck, and connection to and disconnection from trailers. A plurality of sensors are interconnected with the processor that sense terrain/objects and assist in automatically connecting/disconnecting trailers. A server, interconnected, wirelessly with the processor, that tracks movement of the truck around and determines locations for trailer connection and disconnection. A door station unlatches/opens rear doors of the trailer when adjacent thereto, securing them in an opened position via clamps, etc. The system computes a height of the trailer, and/or if landing gear of the trailer is on the ground and interoperates with the fifth wheel to change height, and whether docking is safe, allowing a user to take manual control, and optimum charge time(s). Reversing sensors/safety, automated chocking, and intermodal container organization are also provided.

Abstract: Hyperstable constrained peptides and methods and apparatus for designing such peptides are provided. A computing device can determine a peptide backbone using a computing device. The computing device can place zero or more disulfide bonds in the peptide backbone. The computing device can design one or more peptide sequences based on the peptide backbone. The computing device can validate at least one validated peptide sequence of the one or more peptide sequences. An output can be generated based on the at least one validated peptide sequence.
