Abstract: Method and system to measure and monitor the grey water content in a rotating concrete mixer drum mixer truck using a sensor attached to the interior of the concrete mixer drum. By measuring the grey water content before a batching process takes place, the batched water (and cement content and admixture type and content) can be modified in order to maintain expected performance of the batched load in terms of both strength and rheology, or more simply, some or all of the grey water can be discharged from the concrete mixer drum before batching.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for the manufacture of recombinant antibody molecules comprising culturing a host cell sample transformed with an expression vector encoding a recombinant antibody molecule; adding an extraction buffer to the sample; and subjecting the sample to a heat treatment step; wherein the pH of the sample is detected after addition of the extraction buffer, and optionally adjusted, to ensure that the pH of the sample is 6 to 9 prior to the heat treatment step.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a length of lined pipe comprises inserting a radially-contracted liner pipe into an outer host pipe. Injector needles are inserted through an end of the outer pipe into an annular gap between the pipes. Adhesive is injected between the pipes at locations inboard of the end of the outer pipe. After withdrawing the injectors, at least a portion of the liner pipe is expanded to close the gap and to bond the pipes together via the injected adhesive. Shims may be inserted into the gap between the pipes. A portion of the liner pipe inboard of the shims may be expanded radially while the shims constrain local radial expansion of an outboard portion of the liner pipe to maintain the gap for accommodating the injectors. Withdrawing the shims after injecting the adhesive allows radial expansion of the outboard portion to close the gap between the pipes.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program for a scanning service is presented. A scanning service compatible with a cloud storage system is configured to receive notifications from a cloud storage service about storage event activity and to access data in the cloud storage service. The scanning service receives a notification regarding storage activity related to a file in the data. After the completion of the storage activity, the scanning service receives the file from the cloud storage service and scans the file. When a determination is made based on the scan that at least a portion of the file should not be distributed then an action is taken with respect to the cloud storage service based on the determination that at least a portion of the file should not be distributed.
