Abstract: A reusable modular structural member may replace wooden structures used in concrete forming, transportation, marine, and construction applications. The reusable modular structural member includes a structural profile with first and second sides; a plurality of support beams extending from the first to the second side; at least two fasteners, one at a first end and another at a second end of each of the plurality of ribs; and a groove on a first edge and a tongue on a second edge that are configured to form a dovetail joint that can attach two reusable modular structural members of similar configuration. A reusable modular member can include the modular structural profile and interfacial layers covering the first and second sides. The reusable modular member may be made by extruding the structural profile and molding a recycled plastic polymer to external portions of the structural profile to form the interfacial layers.

Abstract: An indoor location is mapped into a grid comprising grid cells, each cell associated with items or objects detected as being present in the corresponding cell. The grid, grid cells, and linked items and/or objects are generated and updated using an Augmented Reality (AR) algorithm that maps a physical environment into cells and measures distances and directions within the environment relative to each cell. Walking paths (routes) to the items within the indoor location are generated using the grid information. As a user walks a path, the user's position within the indoor location is mapped and tracked to the cells and the path revised based on the user's actual position. A user device provides video via an AR application to track the user's position; a rendering of the position and path are superimposed within the video being viewed by the user on the user-operated device.

Abstract: A bipolar electrosurgical fusion/sealer and dissector is provided that is arranged to simultaneously fuse and cut tissue captured between jaws of the instrument.

Abstract: Described herein are Fc variants and methods for the efficient production of antibodies and other multimeric protein complexes (collectively referred to herein as heteromultimeric proteins). Heteromultimeric proteins may be capable of specifically binding to more than one target. The targets may be, for example, different epitopes on a single molecule or located on different molecules. The methods combine efficient, high gene expression level, appropriate assembly, and ease of purification for the heteromultimeric proteins. The invention also provides methods of using these heteromultimeric proteins, and compositions, kits and articles of manufacture comprising these antibodies.
