Abstract: Automated robotic harvesting systems and methods for harvesting electrodeposited metals from a cell, and specialized end of arm tooling for use in automated robotic harvesting systems and methods for harvesting electrodeposited metals from a cell, are disclosed. A harvesting tool comprises an extraction gripping unit configured to extract a starter sheet and metal electrodeposited on the starter sheet from a cell, and a harvesting gripping unit configured to separate the starter sheet from the metal for harvesting the metal.

Abstract: A foldable exercise device with a chin-up exercise apparatus and a dip exercise apparatus suspendable from the chin-up exercise apparatus. The chin-up exercise apparatus has a top horizontal member and a bottom horizontal member connected by two connecting members. Each connecting member has a door header hook and a parallel chin-up handle that rotate on the connecting member from a flat configuration to an exercise configuration. In the exercise configuration the chin-up exercise apparatus can engage a door frame. In the exercise configuration the parallel chin-up handles can be used for neutral chin-ups. The dip exercise apparatus has two vertical members spaced apart by a horizontal connecting member. The vertical members have a bottom end with a bottom grip. The bottom grip can be rotated from a flat configuration to an exercise configuration. In the exercise configuration the bottom grips can be used to do dip exercises.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus for the performance of tricep dip exercise and the like. The apparatus comprises first and second elongate members, which are adapted to be brought into fixed positional arrangement relative to each other. The first upper end of each member is adapted to be brought into engagement with a substantially horizontal member of a pull up or chin up bar, while the second, lower end of each tubular member is adapted to form, or is conjoined to, a hand grips means. The hand grip means is provided in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the main body of the first and second member. A third member is conjoined to the first and second members about their lower ends.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus (1) for the performance of tricep dip exercise and the like. The apparatus comprises first and second elongate members (4, 5), which are adapted to be brought into fixed positional arrangement relative to each other. The first upper end (30, 32) of each member (4, 4) is adapted to be brought into engagement with a substantially horizontal member (2) of a pull up or chin up bar, whole the second, lower end of each tubular member (4, 5) is adapted to form, or is conjoined to, a hand grips means (12, 13). The hand grip means (12, 13) is provided in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the main body of the first and second member (4, 5). A third member (3) is conjoined to the first and second members (4, 5) about their lower ends.

Abstract: A scalable imaging spectrometer, using anamorphic optical elements to form an intermediate focus in only one dimension. Light reflects off an object to form an incident beam. The beam reflects off an anamorphic objective mirror to form a line focus at a slit. At the slit, the beam is focused along the spectral dimension, but remains substantially collimated along the spatial dimension. The beam is then recollimated in the spectral dimension by a second anamorphic mirror, reflects off a diffraction grating, passes through a lens, and is brought to focus on a two dimensional detector, which produces both spectral and spatial information about the object. Because there is no intermediate focus in the spatial dimension, there are no off-axis aberrations from the anamorphic mirrors, and the field of view may be substantially increased over prior art spectrometers in the spatial dimension.

Abstract: The Device Model Agent (DMA), the device side technology module in Device Centric Services (DCS) system, is the main focus of this invention. DMA is a thin, efficient applications/services execution environment. DMA provides an embedded services platform for enabling system management applications and services. This allows a flexible, extensible, dynamic services management module allowing networked services to be designed, added, and managed within the system without modifications to devices, DCS system, or DMA itself. While this invention specifically describes the integration of benefits from DMA into document system devices, the concepts are equally applicable in other domains. The DMA runtime environment is a thin software interface layer that resides on a document system device between the Java runtime environment and embedded web server.

Abstract: This application teaches a cytolytic derivative of the thiol-activated protein streptolysin O. The derivatization comprises the deletion of the amino acid cysteine from the amino acid sequence of naturally occurring streptolysin O; end optionally other alterations in said naturally occurring amino acid sequence by amino acid substitution, deletion, inversion, insertion or addition.

Abstract: A non-toxic and non-cytolytic derivative of streptolysin O which retains at least one (preferably immunodominant) epitope is produced, and can be used especially in diagnostic tests for detecting of the presence of antibodies to Streptococcus pyogenes in a sample.
