  • Publication number: 20230194261
    Abstract: A construction laser level includes a housing and a gimbal assembly disposed in the housing. The gimbal assembly includes a first laser generator operable to generate a first output beam. The first output beam projects outside of the housing onto a target surface. The gimbal assembly includes a second laser generator operable to generate a second output beam. The second output beam projects outside of the housing onto the target surface. The first output beam projects as a first line on the target surface. The second output beam projects as a second line on the target surface. The first line is generally perpendicular to the second line. A wavelength of the first output beam is in the range of 540 to 575 nanometers.

  • Publication number: 20220349898
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods of determining product quality of an antibody composition, wherein the ADCC activity level of the antibody composition is a criterion upon which product quality of the antibody composition is based. In exemplary embodiments, the method comprises (i) determining the total afucosylated (TAF) glycan content of a sample of an antibody composition; and (ii) determining the product quality as acceptable and/or achieving the ADCC activity level criterion when the TAF glycan content determined in (i) is within a target range. Related methods of monitoring product quality and methods of producing an antibody composition are further provided herein.

  • Patent number: 5782048
    Abstract: A reinforced building structure having a multiplicity of steel reinforcement rods for reinforcing the wall and the roof of a building and a method for constructing reinforced building structures so they may withstand strong winds. The method involves installing vertical tie rods to bolts anchored in the foundation of the building structure. The rods tie the horizontal beams, such as ceiling joists of the building structure, to the anchor bolts through nuts and washers secured to the removed end of the anchored tie rod.
