Abstract: A GNSS data collection system includes a pole mounted GNSS receiver and inclination sensors. The range pole has an adjustable length and an integrated electronic measurement device to capture and provide length data. A data collection module provides a data collection graphical user interface (GUI) visible on a hand-held data collector computer. The data collector computer is communicably coupled to the GNSS receiver and/or the electronic measurement device and receives three-dimensional location data, the length data, and inclination data for the range pole in real-time. The inclination data and height of the range pole are used to calculate and display horizontal distance and direction to level the GNSS receiver.

Abstract: The invention provides improved methods of conjugating an agent to a thiol moiety in a protein that contains at least one disulfide bond and at least one trisulfide bond. Exemplary embodiments include the production of antibody drug conjugates substantially free of impurities created in the presence of reactive sulfide moieties in the production processes.

Abstract: A Robotic Total Station (RTS) system includes an RTS disposed for at least two-axis rotation on a tripod, and a rover including a pole mounted prism and GNSS receiver with inclination sensors. The RTS rotates on the tripod to point towards the rover and generate an RTS-position measurement using an optical signal reflected by the prism. The RTS is communicably coupled to the data collector and/or the GNSS receiver, and receives and uses the GNSS-derived position measurements and the inclination data for the range pole in real-time, to automatically track and point the RTS towards the prism.

Abstract: A GNSS data collection system includes a pole mounted GNSS receiver and inclination sensors. A data collection module provides a data collection graphical user interface (GUI) visible on a hand-held data collector computer. The data collector computer is communicably coupled to the GNSS receiver and receives three-dimensional location data and inclination data for the range pole in real-time. A virtual level component uses the inclination data to display on the GUI real-time tilt information in the form of a virtual bubble level indicator. The inclination data and height of the range pole are used to calculate and display horizontal distance and direction to level the GNSS receiver, using: incline=a cos(cos(x_tilt)*cos(y_tilt)) where, xtilt=the inclination data for the range pole along the x axis, ytilt=the inclination data for the range pole along the y axis, and horizontaldistancefromlevel=rh*sin(incline) where, rh=the height of the range pole.

Abstract: A scallop, center pipe, and outer basket for use in a radial flow reactor are provided. Each of the scallop, the center pipe, and the outer basket is formed of an elongated conduit having a top end and an opposing bottom end, and a plurality of openings formed in the elongated conduit through a thickness thereof. A diameter of the plurality of openings progressively increases or decreases from the top end to the opposing bottom end of the elongated conduit so as to allow a feedstock to flow radially out through the plurality of openings on the scallop or outer basket, or to allow a feedstock to flow uniformly into the center pipe through the plurality of openings. A system utilizing the center pipe together with either the scallop or the outer basket is also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a work unit with power turning. The work unit includes a frame having a first end, a second end and left and right sides that extend between the first and second ends. A work element is carried by the frame. A left propulsion element is positioned at the left side of the frame and a right propulsion element is positioned at the right side of the frame. A drive arrangement is carried by the frame for driving the left and right propulsion elements. The work unit also includes left and right spaced-apart leverage arms that project outwards from the second end of the frame. At least one of the left and right leverage arms is operatively connected to the drive arrangement such that pressure applied by an operator to the left or right leverage arms in a left or right direction causes the drive arrangement to turn the work unit.

Abstract: A gasket is fabricated with electrical flex cables extending through the gasket in order to electrically communicate from the outside of a vacuum chamber with the electrical devices positioned within a vacuum chamber of a cryogenically cooled module. The gasket is fabricated from elastomeric, dielectric materials such as neoprene to effect a seal between the portions of the vacuum chamber and also to seal between the gasket material and the conductors of the flex cables which pass through the gasket.
