Abstract: A battery cell inspection system and method are disclosed. The system performs an ultrasound interrogation session of a cell by directing ultrasound at different frequencies at target points across surfaces of the cell, detecting ultrasound at the target points that is transmitted through and/or reflected from the cell, generating response signals from the detected ultrasound at each of the target points, and determining characteristics of the cell including defects, anomalies and cell capacity based upon the response signals. During the session, the transducers are not in contact with the surfaces of the cell, and the transducers and the cell are immersed in an electrically non-conductive fluid. The system can also configure the ultrasound transmitted at the target points into focused beams. Alternatively, an inspection system can be configured to determine characteristics of a cell during a formation stage of the cell.

Abstract: The invention provides novel glucocorticosteroids, glucocorticosteroid-linkers and antibody drug conjugates (ADC's) comprising an antibody or antibody fragment which binds to an antigen expressed on immune cells, optionally an antigen expressed on human immune cells. In some instances the ADCs comprise an anti-human VISTA (V-region Immunoglobulin-containing Suppressor of T cell Activation (1)) antibody or anti-VISTA antigen-binding antibody fragment which binds to VISTA expressing cells at physiologic pH having a short serum half-life (?24-72 or 24-48 or 12-24 hours or less in a human VISTA knock-in rodent or ((?1-3.5 days or less in a human or non-human primate). In some instances these ADCs have a rapid onset of action and are potent for prolonged duration as they are very effectively internalized by immune cells in large amounts where they are cleaved releasing large amounts of active steroid payload.
