  • Patent number: 11852111
    Abstract: An apparatus and a system are disclosed for preventing fuel starvation in an off-road vehicle that may be operated on a severely inclined surface. A vehicle having a fuel tank for a fuel delivery module disposed in the fuel tank. A fuel pump assembly is disposed in the fuel tank and a slip ring joint is assembled to the fuel delivery module. One or more tubes are assembled to the slip ring joint that extends and retracts relative to the slip ring joint toward and away from the walls of the fuel tank. A remote fuel pick-up is assembled to the tube so that when the vehicle is operated on an inclined surface, the remote fuel pick-up is extended and rotates inside the fuel tank to move toward and away from an inner surface of the fuel tank and follows the fuel contained in the fuel tank.

  • Publication number: 20220137063
    Abstract: A system and method is provided for validating the manufacturing process for the production of complex biological compositions, and particularly for providing process validation information for evaluation by a federal regulatory agency. The system and method continuously and chronologically assess the concentration of proteoforms within the biological composition as it is being produced in a fermentor. Samples from the fermentor are analyzed in a pre-selected array of analysis columns, with data generated by the columns being accumulated and evaluated, and particularly compared with data from previous stages in the production process. A continuous process validation system includes top-down and bottom-up analysis sectors, each including a plurality of different analysis columns that can be selected by the controller for a particular biological composition and a particular production process.
