Abstract: A robotic platform apparatus can include a chassis with a front edge, a rear edge, and a top surface. The robotic platform apparatus can include multiple omnidirectional wheels coupled to the chassis. The robotic platform apparatus can include a brake system comprising multiple lifting legs. The lifting legs can be configured to extend until the lifting legs make contact with a surface below the robotic platform apparatus and lift the omnidirectional wheels off the surface. An air bag can expand to extend the lifting legs. The robotic platform apparatus can include a processor configured to control the path of travel and operation of the brake system.

Abstract: Methods and systems for performing database modifications based on event parameters are disclosed herein. The system may receive a resource event comprising one or more event parameters. The system may determine a set of entities associated with the resource event. The system may validate the resource event using the one or more event parameters. The system may determine a plurality of user accounts associated with the resource event. The system may modify resource distributions for each user account of the plurality of user accounts to generate modified resource distributions. The system may transmit, to a central database, one or more commands to update a central record of the resource distributions.

Abstract: A fluid flow regulator assembly useful for coolant systems for semiconductor devices is provided. Assemblies and systems comprising one or more fluid flow regulators are also provided.

Abstract: A tonneau cover lift; the tonneau cover lift includes a height-adjustable, lightweight tonneau cover assembly including a cover member and a rectangular frame supported by four telescoping, hydraulic support posts including a first-telescopic-leg, a second-telescopic-leg, a third-telescopic-leg, and a fourth-telescopic-leg. The cover member is sized and configured to cover a bed of a truck and may be remotely controlled using a remote activation unit. The tonneau cover lift expands a protected cargo capacity of a truck.

Abstract: A workstation for processing particles entrained in a fluid includes a consumable portion and a reusable portion. The consumable portion is mounted to the reusable portion to form a fluid chamber in which an acoustic wave can be generated. The consumable portion implements a closed, isolated fluid environment that is managed using components of the reusable portion, such as valves, sensors and pumps. The workstation can be operated to retain particles from the fluid via the acoustic wave and provide a new fluid media to the retained particles. Following processing, the consumable portion can be removed and discarded.

Abstract: Systems and methods for increasing the accuracy of a turbidity sensor are disclosed. The systems include a turbidity sensor and a flow module with a specialized flow path, with the turbidity sensor engaging with the flow module such that a measurement zone of the turbidity sensor is disposed within a flow path of the flow module and a bypass path of the flow module does not pass through the measurement zone. The methods include flowing a fluid containing bubbles into a system that separates the fluid in the flow module into a first stream of fluid containing relatively more bubbles and a second stream of fluid containing relatively fewer bubbles, the first stream flowing through a bypass path that does not pass through the measurement zone, and the second stream flowing through the measurement zone of the turbidity sensor.

Abstract: A laser level with a measurement display window is disclosed herein. The self-leveling laser level and measurement locating instrument includes a rectangular body with multiple laser light outputs wherein the color of the light beam can be changed from either green or red. Additionally, the leveling tool can be secured to a metal surface using a magnet and can be mounted to a tripod or hand carried. The laser level also has a display window for displaying the measurement indicia acquired by the laser lines. Furthermore, the laser level is configured to take measurements either horizontally or vertically.

Abstract: Devices for separating a host fluid from a second fluid or particulate are disclosed. The devices include an acoustic chamber, a fluid outlet at a top end of the acoustic chamber, a concentrate outlet at a bottom end of the acoustic chamber, and an inlet on a first side end of the acoustic chamber. An ultrasonic transducer and reflector create a multi-dimensional acoustic standing wave in the acoustic chamber that traps and separates particulates (e.g. cells) from a host fluid. The host fluid is collected via the fluid outlet, and the particulates are collected via the concentrate outlet. The device is a large-scale device that is able to process liters/hour, and has a large interior volume.

Abstract: Transducer assemblies that can be used in acoustophoretic systems are disclosed. The acoustophoretic systems including the transducer assemblies and methods of operating the acoustophoretic systems are also disclosed. The transducer assemblies include a housing, a polymeric film attached to the housing, and a piezoelectric material attached to the polymeric film. The piezoelectric material is not attached to, and does not come in direct contact with, the housing. The piezoelectric material is configured to be driven by a drive signal to create a multi-dimensional acoustic standing wave. The piezoelectric material can be attached to the polymer film by an adhesive coating on the polymer film.
