Abstract: A delivery portal, which may be at a loading dock, includes a sensor configured to detect a pallet, platform or stack of goods as it passes through the portal. A computer is programmed to receive information from the sensor and to identify the pallet based upon the information. The computer is further programmed to compare the identified pallet to a database to determine if the identified pallet should be passing through the portal. For example, the computer determines whether the pallet is being loaded onto the wrong truck or onto the right truck but in the wrong sequence. The sensor for detecting the pallet may be an RFID sensor reading an RFID tag on the pallets. The portal may be a loading dock. The database may indicate a sequence for loading a plurality of pallets including the identified pallet onto a truck at the loading dock.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to a process for producing polymer fibers, typically polyacrylonitrile-based fibers, the properties of which are controlled by certain parameters of the process, such as the amount of jet stretch, the amount of wet stretch, and the amount of hot stretch employed. The present disclosure also relates to a process for producing carbon fiber from such polymer fibers.

Abstract: A power generation transport includes a gas turbine, an inlet plenum coupled to an intake of the gas turbine, a generator driven by the gas turbine, and an air intake and exhaust module including an air inlet filter housing, an intake air duct coupled to the housing at a first end and to the inlet plenum at a second end, and an exhaust collector coupled to an exhaust of the gas turbine. The transport further includes at least one base frame. The frame mounts and aligns the gas turbine, the inlet plenum, the generator, and the air intake and exhaust module. The intake air duct is mounted on the base frame so as to be disposed underneath the gas turbine, and extend along the base frame from an exhaust end side of the gas turbine to an intake end side, in a longitudinal direction of the power generation transport.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a self-sterilizing sanitary barrier is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing defining an interior space configured to receive a mask sheet such that the mask sheet is movable from a first position covering a portion of a face of a user to a second position within the interior space of the housing. The apparatus also includes a light source mounted within the interior space and configured to emit radiation to sterilize the mask sheet in the second position. The method includes steps including donning the apparatus on the user and moving the mask from the first position to the second position. The method further includes emitting radiation from the light source within the housing to sterilize the mask sheet in the second position.

Abstract: Provided are peptides, modified peptides, fragments thereof, conjugates thereof, and polymers thereof that have antibacterial activity against bacterial that include but are not limited to multidrug-resistant bacteria. In some embodiments, the presently disclosed subject matter relates to peptides that include the amino acid sequences RTVRCTCI (SEQ ID NO: 2), LSRTVRCTCISI (SEQ ID NO: 3) or VPLSRTVRCTCISI (SEQ ID NO: 4), PESK AIKNLLK AV SKERSKRSP (SEQ ID NO: 11), or KNLLK AV SKERSKRSP (SEQ ID NO: 12), modified peptides thereof, fragments thereof, and conjugates thereof, and any combination thereof.

Abstract: A method on a client device is described. First document content information that corresponds to a first plurality of document elements of an electronic document is received from a data server. A graphical user interface that represents the first plurality of document elements is generated based on the first document content information. First author identifiers that indicate most recent authors for the first plurality of document elements are received. The first document content information and the first author identifiers correspond to a first timestamp. Visual identifiers for the first author identifiers are selected based on the graphical user interface. The visual identifiers are generated to indicate which of the first author identifiers correspond to the first plurality of document elements represented by the graphical user interface.

Abstract: A system and method of remotely controlling the parking brake of a disabled vehicle to be towed by a towing vehicle includes using the hydraulic fluid of towing vehicle to control the parking brake operation of the disabled vehicle. The towing vehicle is equipped with a control valve and brake release manifold assembly. The brake release manifold assembly provides a source of hydraulic fluid of controlled pressure. The towing vehicle has means to connect the controlled pressure hydraulic fluid of the towing vehicle to the parking brake system. The towing vehicle also has means to control and monitor the flow of hydraulic fluid to the disabled vehicle in order to either release or apply the brakes when desired.
