Abstract: Methods are provided herein for selectively killing senescent cells and for treating senescence-associated diseases and disorders by administering a senolytic agent. Senescence-associated diseases and disorders treatable by the methods using the senolytic agents described herein include cardiovascular diseases and disorders associated with or caused by arteriosclerosis, such as atherosclerosis; idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; osteoarthritis; senescence-associated ophthalmic diseases and disorders; and senescence-associated dermatological diseases and disorders.

Abstract: A local positioning system may include a reader assembly and a data processing assembly. The reader assembly may be configured to read tag data from at least one wireless communication tag of a plurality of wireless communication tags disposed in spaced-apart fixed positions relative to a structure extending along an expanse when the reader assembly is disposed in the expanse proximate to the at least one wireless communication tag. The reader assembly may also generate a communication-tag signal representative of the read tag data. A data processing assembly may be configured to access a mapping of the plurality of wireless communication tags relative to the structure. The data processing assembly may be further configured to determine a location of the reader assembly based on the read tag data and the mapping of the plurality of wireless communication tags relative to the structure.

Abstract: An assembly for monitoring the operation of a large format battery module. Printed circuit boards may be routed within a battery module to electrically interconnect collector structures with a battery module monitoring circuit. Flexible printed circuits (FPCs) may be wrapped around one or more sides of a battery module and secured to it, such as via adhesive. Voltage monitoring FPCs may be applied to one or more side surfaces to electrically interconnect battery module collector structures with a monitoring circuit. Temperature monitoring FPCs may interconnect temperature sensors with the monitoring circuit. In some embodiments, one or more serpentine PCBs may be installed in a central channel between cells beneath a plurality of collector structures. The collector structures may include extensions overlaying the serpentine PCBs for direct welding to a steel pad on one of the serpentine PCBs.
