Abstract: Systems and methods for equalizing fluid levels within a vent line and a propellant tank in which the vent line is located are discussed herein. The vent line includes a vent valve and an equalization valve. The vent valve can be included in a vent duct of the vent line. The equalization valve is included in a bottom wall (i.e., a low point) of the vent duct of the vent line. A controller is also included in the system to instruct a vent valve and the equalization valve to open and close.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for performing a data center connectivity management operation. The connectivity management operation includes: providing a data center asset with a connectivity management system client; establishing a secure communication channel between the connectivity management system client and a connectivity management system; exchanging information between the connectivity management system client and the connectivity management system via the secure communication channel between the connectivity management system client and the connectivity management system, the information including a provisioning request; and, providing provisioning information to the data center asset via the secure communication channel.

Abstract: An electronic target measurement system is disclosed such that the system includes image capture device(s), an access point device, and a user device. Each image capture device acquires a series of successive real-time images of at least one target with a plurality of regions of interest (ROIs). The access point device receives the images and transmits the images to a user device. The user device performs image preprocessing on the images, determines via an image differentiation process that a difference exists between the images, extracts the ROIs and locations of impact (LOIs) from the received image, and determines ROI center points, LOIs within the ROIs, and LOI center points. The user device also determines regional scores based on the distances between the ROI center points the LOI center points, and then a total score by adding the regional scores for the plurality of extracted ROIs.

Abstract: Method of detecting Symmetrical dimethyl arginine (SDMA) in biological samples. SDMA analogs for generating anti-SDMA antibodies having little or no cross-reactivity with asymmetrical dimethyl arginine, arginine, and monomethylarginine. The analogs have a protected or free thiol (—SH) group or hydroxyl (—OH) group that allow them to be linked to a suitable conjugation target which can be, for example, a protein containing molecule of a label. The anti-SDMA antibodies can be used in diagnostic immunoassay for the diagnosis of SDMA associated disorders and/or diseases.

Abstract: A portable fluid filtration system. The portable filtration system includes a trailer having a ceiling with a predetermined height, and having an openable and closeable ceiling passage. One or more fiber assembles are disposed in the trailer. Each filter assembly includes a filter base and a filter cartridge connectible and dis-connectible to the filter base. The filter cartridge has a height such that when it is disposed on the filter base, the filter cartridge extends beyond the predetermined height of the trailer ceiling. The system also has a fluid input/output assembly disposed in the trailer and fluidically connected to the at least one filter assembly, the liquid input/output assembly being or receiving fluid to be cleaned and inputting it to the at least one her assembly and for receiving filtered fluid from the filter assembly and for outputting it.

Abstract: A cross-car beam, includes a plastic beam body 22, defining a first end 24 and a second end 26 spaced from the first end 24 along a first direction D1, such that the plastic beam body 22 is elongate in the first direction D1. The plastic beam body 22 further defines a cross-sectional shape 28 along, a plane P1 that is normal to the first direction D1. The cross-car beam 20, may further include a metallic beam body 42 configured to be coupled to the plastic beam body 22. The metallic beam body 42 defining a first end 44 and a second end 46 spaced from the first end 44 along a direction, for example the first direction D1 when the metallic bean body 42 is coupled to the plastic beam body 22, such that the metallic beam body 42 is elongate in the first direction D1.

Abstract: An aluminum bottle outsert including a generally truncated cone-shaped inner surface configured to be received and supported by an upper neck portion of an aluminum bottle and an outer surface having diametrically opposed first and second indents adapted to operably receive prong end portions of a swing cap assembly.
