Abstract: Locking devices, systems, and methods for securing personal property to separate structures. Such a locking device includes a lock body, a cable within the lock body and having a first end accessible from an exterior of the lock body, a spool for extending and retracting the cable out of and into the lock body, a lock pin disposed at the first end of the cable, a cable lock incorporated into the lock body and configured to releasably secure the lock pin to the lock body, and an electronic communication and control unit incorporated into the lock body and configured to communicate with a remote device. The electronic communication and control unit controls the cable lock to secure and release the lock pin relative to the lock body to allow the remote device to wirelessly unlock the first end of the cable from the lock body.

Abstract: Provided are automated cell culture systems and related in vitro cell culture methods, including for a co-culture of different cell populations having different cell culture conditions. For example, the system may comprise a bioreactor having a plurality of cell culture compartments, the bioreactor having a fluid port fluidly connected to the plurality of cell culture compartments. A pump fluidly connected to the fluid port can provide a cell culture medium to the plurality of culture compartments. A sensor is operably connected to at least one of the plurality of cell culture compartments for measuring at least one cell culture parameter. In this manner, a controller electronically connected the pump and sensor, is configured to automatically adjust a pump flow rate and/or a cell culture gas content to provide a desired steady-state cell culture parameter for facilitating cells interactions and collection of products representative of said interactions.
