Abstract: A cargo restraint assembly for a cargo handling system is provided. The cargo restraint assembly includes a base assembly. The base assembly includes a plunger, a compression spring, and an attenuation lock. Responsive to being activated, the plunger is configured to extend in a first direction into an opening within a modular container thereby restraining the modular container in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. The compression spring provides a restraint to keep the plunger locked in an outwardly extended state in an activated state or locked in an inwardly retracted state in a deactivated state. The attenuation lock is configured to block the plunger from attenuating from the activated state unless acted upon by an actuation/de-actuation lever.

Abstract: A purification system and method may include a container receiving portion, pump, and magnetic field generating element. The container receiving portion may be configured to receive and support a container containing a mixture. Magnetic beads may be added to the container for separating a target substance from a remainder of the mixture. The magnetic field generating element may be movable relative to the container receiving portion between a non-working position remote from the container receiving portion and a working position adjacent an outer periphery of the container receiving portion. In the working position, the magnetic field generating element may attract the magnetic beads and hold them firmly against an interior surface of the container. While the magnetic beads are immobilized by the magnetic field generating element, the pump may remove the mixture from the container, leaving behind the magnetic beads bound tightly but reversibly to the target substance.
