  • Publication number: 20220220841
    Abstract: A sensor gimbal system employs one sensor gimbal on which a sensor is mounted. The sensor gimbal is configured to orient a sensitive axis of the sensor with respect to a survey instrument. A sensor motor assembly is configured to rotate the sensor gimbal between a first hard stops and a second hard stop. A dowel pin extends from the mating bevel gear to engage the hard stops. A flex circuit has a flex cable from a sensor PCB, on which the sensor is mounted, to an electronic circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20220135967
    Abstract: The present invention provides a means to modulate gene expression in vivo in a manner that avoids problems associated with CRISPR endogenous protein knock-out or knock-in strategies and strategies that provide for correction, or alteration, of single nucleotides. The invention includes inserting into the genome a nucleotide encoding a heterobifunctional compound targeting protein (dTAG) in-frame with the nucleotide sequence of a gene encoding an endogenously expressed protein of interest which, upon expression, produces an endogenous protein-dTAG hybrid protein. This allows for targeted protein degradation of the dTAG and the fused endogenous protein using a heterobifunctional compound.

  • Patent number: 11306105
    Abstract: The present invention provides compounds and pharmaceutically compositions thereof. The compounds and compositions are binders of bromodomains and/or bromodomain-containing proteins (e.g., bromo and extra terminal (BET) proteins). Also provided are methods, uses, and kits using the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting the activity (e.g., increased activity) of bromodomains and/or bromodomain-containing proteins and for treating and/or preventing in a subject diseases associated with bromodomains or bromodomain-containing proteins (e.g., proliferative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, viral infections, fibrotic diseases, metabolic diseases, endocrine diseases, and radiation poisoning). The compounds, pharmaceutical compositions, and kits are also useful for male contraception.
