  • Patent number: 11878761
    Abstract: Collision alert systems and methods for micromobility vehicles includes a proximity sensor, a speed sensor, a warning device, and a controller having a bypass mode and a warning mode. The controller compares the speed of the micromobility vehicle with a predetermined speed threshold, enters the bypass mode when the speed of the micromobility vehicle is less than the predetermined speed threshold, and enters the warning mode when the speed of the micromobility vehicle is greater than the predetermined speed threshold. The controller does not activate the warning device in the bypass mode. In the warning mode, calculates an estimated time until a potential collision with the object, compares the estimated time object with a predetermined time threshold, and generates a collision warning by activating the warning device in response to the estimated time until collision being less than the predetermined time threshold.

  • Publication number: 20230176069
    Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter relates to a method for characterizing a protein. The method can comprise disposing a protein in a digestion buffer; disposing a hydrolyzing agent inhibitor in the digestion buffer; passing the digestion buffer comprising said protein and said hydrolyzing agent inhibitor through a reaction chamber comprising at least one hydrolyzing agent, wherein said protein contacts said hydrolyzing agent in the presence of said inhibitor and is present in the chamber for a period of time (t) sufficient to produce protein fragments and provide digestion of said protein in the chamber, wherein the passing of the digestion buffer comprising the protein and the hydrolyzing agent inhibitor through the chamber is done at an adjustable flow rate; and performing multi-segment liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC MS/MS) to characterize the protein.

  • Publication number: 20220265791
    Abstract: Provided are compositions that include one or more synthetic target peptides, wherein each synthetic target peptide is about or at least 8-50 amino acids long; and has an amino acid sequence as set forth in Table 2 and/or Table 3. Also provided are in vitro populations of dendritic cells that include the disclosed compositions, in vitro population of CD8+ T cells capable of being activated upon being brought into contact with the disclosed populations of dendritic cells, antibodies or antibody-like molecules that specifically binds to a complex of an MHC class I molecule and a peptide having an amino acid sequence as set forth in Table 2 and/or Table 3, methods for treating and/or preventing cancers by administering a therapeutically effective dose of a composition that includes at least one target peptide having an amino acid sequence as set forth in Table 2 and/or Table 3.
