  • Patent number: 11938617
    Abstract: Examples described herein are directed to methods, computer-readable media, and systems for controlling an end of arm tool with one or more suction zones to pick up an item. Sensor data regarding the item is obtained. The sensor data is used to determine which of the one or more suction zones should be used to pick up the item. A rotational orientation is also determined that orients the determined suction zone(s) with the item. The end of arm tool is then instructed to create a suction force at the one or more suction zones and to pick up the item using the suction force.

  • Patent number: 9405564
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for a concurrent computing environment that conveys the concurrent nature of a computing environment and allows a user to monitor the status of a concurrent process being executed on multiple concurrent computing units is discussed. The graphical user interface allows the user to target specific concurrent computer units to receive commands. The graphical user interface also alters the command prompt to reflect the currently targeted concurrent computing units.

  • Patent number: 9069517
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for an interactive concurrent computing environment is discussed. The graphical interface conveys the concurrent nature of the computing environment and allows a user to monitor the status of the concurrent process being executed. The graphical interface may indicate the status of the process, the status of the various computing units of the process, or the status of groups of computing units. This allows the user to monitor the concurrent process as the process is executing including whether or not computing units of the concurrent process are idle, busy or stopped.

  • Patent number: 7631168
    Abstract: A graphical user interface for an interactive concurrent computing environment that conveys the concurrent nature of the computing environment and allows a user to monitor the status of a concurrent process being executed on multiple concurrent computing units is discussed. The graphical user interface indicates the status of groups of instances of the concurrent computing process including whether the instances of the concurrent process are idle, busy or stopped.

  • Publication number: 20050048056
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for the preparation of an antibody, wherein the method comprises: fermenting a cell mixture comprising the cells and a supernatant solution, wherein the cells are capable of expressing the light chain and the heavy chain; separating the cells from the supernatant solution to form a cell pellet; allowing the cell pellet to stand for a hold time; and extracting the cell pellet with an extracting solution; thereby producing the antibody.
