Abstract: A vehicle wheel alignment system has a plurality of cameras, each camera for viewing a respective target disposed at a respective wheel of the vehicle and capturing image data of the target as the wheel and target are continuously rotated a number of degrees of rotation without a pause. The image data is used to calculate a minimum number of poses of the target of at least one pose for every five degrees of rotation as the wheel and target are continuously rotated the number of degrees of rotation without a pause. At least one of the cameras comprises a data processor for performing the steps of preprocessing the image data, and calculating an alignment parameter for the vehicle based on the preprocessed image data.

Abstract: Provided herein are PD-L1 binding molecules comprising or conjugated to a toxin, e.g. a Shiga toxin A Subunit derived polypeptide. In some embodiments, the PD-L1 binding molecules are cytotoxic. In some embodiments, the PD-L1 binding molecules are capable of delivering a CD8+ T-cell epitope to an MHC class molecule inside a PD-L1 positive cell. The PD-L1 binding molecules described herein have uses for selectively killing specific cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells and/or immune cells); for selectively delivering cargos to specific cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells or immune cells), and as therapeutic and/or diagnostic molecules for treating and diagnosing a variety of conditions, including cancers and tumors involving PD-L1 expressing cells (e.g., PD-L1 positive tumor cells or immune cells).

Abstract: Heat exchanger assemblies for electronic devices are disclosed. A heat exchanger assembly may include a heat transfer body that has a face that forms open passageways. A cover structure may be attached to the heat transfer body in a manner to enclose the open passageways, thereby forming a heat exchanger assembly that includes enclosed fluid conduits. In this regard, the enclosed fluid conduits may form complex and intricate patterns within the heat exchanger assembly that are tailored to the heat requirements of a particular application. Heat exchanger assemblies as described herein may be thermally coupled to a center waveguide section of a spatial power-combining device. The enclosed fluid conduits may be tailored based on locations of amplifiers within the center waveguide section to provide improved thermal operation of the spatial power-combining device.
