Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a multispecific antibody platform for targeted degradation of cell surface proteins. The disclosure relates to multispecific (e.g., bispecific or trispecific) binding molecules such as multispecific antibodies that target at least one transmembrane E3 ubiquitin ligase protein and at least one cell surface protein, for example, a cell surface protein that is intended for degradation, and methods of using the same.

Abstract: A secured “smart” container is disclosed for collecting green waste products including operational functions for collection, video surveillance and monitoring capacity. The secured “smart” container may include one or more programmable logic controllers. Operational functions are performed by electrical components including sensors to determine green waste deposits characteristics and contents. Operational functions are further adapted to send and receive data, operationally wirelessly, and configured and adapted to utilize solar derived electric power and, optionally, electric power from other sources. Embodiments provide constant 24 hour/7 days a week video surveillance and alert monitoring capabilities. Disclosed systems and methods also include collection and transportation of waste contents from the container to a processing subsystem.

Abstract: A worker safety device for use with an object having a person support surface, the device comprising: a length-adjustable device frame positionable on said object; a frame fastener coupled to the device frame configured to detachably fasten the device frame to the object; an attachment means, attached to the device frame, configured and positioned to attach a personal fall-prevention device to the device frame; whereby a person on said surface using the fall-prevention device can prevent a fall from said surface by attaching the fall-prevention device to the attachment means.

Abstract: A micro Kelvin probe assembly and method of accomplishing a micro Kelvin measurement that determines the resistance or impedance of a device under test (DUT) that has two spaced contacts. An ammeter is used to flow current through the DUT, and a voltmeter is used to measure the voltage drop across the DUT. There is a printed circuit board (PCB) carrying two pairs of contacts, with a trace leading to each contact. Anisotropic conductive elastomer (ACE) material as an electrical interposer is placed in electrical contact with each of the PCB contacts. The DUT is placed on the ACE such that each DUT contact is directly opposite one pair of PCB contacts. The ammeter is connected to one trace leading to one contact of each pair of PCB contacts to flow current through the DUT, and the voltmeter is connected to the other trace leading to the other contact of each pair of PCB contacts, so that voltmeter can measure the voltage drop across the DUT without an effect caused by the interposer.

Abstract: Cavity lasers exhibit a relatively high beam quality (e.g., M2<1.25) despite a relatively small cavity length (e.g., 50-53 mm) for a high (e.g., ?10 watt) output power device. This enables the construction of physically smaller laser and optical assemblies without sacrificing performance. Reduction of optical photonic interference, which can impair imaging performance, is also facilitated. Laser and optical assemblies may utilize an aperture defined within an optical barrier element to reduce the divergence of the light beam emanating from a diode-pumping laser.

Abstract: Pulsed ultraviolet light is used to address contamination by various microorganisms in different materials provided to people or animals, including food, water, and blood by transfusion.

Abstract: A single laser crystal is driven with multiple pumping sources to obtain discrete, collimated outputs without substantial thermal crosstalk, so that the action of one pumping source does not adversely interfere with the action of another source driving the same crystal; that is, an imaging output emanating from one crystal region will neither defeat nor spuriously cause an imaging output in another region.
