Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to filtration devices having spiral wound filtration element. In an embodiment, a filtration device is included having a first spiral wound filter element. The first spiral wound filter element can include one or more spacing layers, one or more membrane layers disposed in between the one or more spacing layers, and a plurality of spacing elements. The first spiral wound filter element can have an aspect ratio that is less than 8:1 height to width. Other embodiments are also included herein.

Abstract: Modular storage systems include load sensors disposed beneath or in association with platforms. The load sensors are pulse-sampled for signals corresponding to loads at time intervals, rather than continuously, in order to conserve electrical power. An item associated with a transaction is identified based on a change in the loads, as determined from the pulse-sampled signals. The platforms are aligned at horizontal or non-horizontal angles, and photovoltaic power sources with banks of photovoltaic cells are mounted to front edges of the platforms. When a user reaches over one of the photovoltaic cells to access an item on a platform, a level of power or voltage generated by the photovoltaic cell is diminished. The item closest to the photovoltaic cell having the diminished power or voltage, or a customer that accessed the item, may be identified accordingly.

Abstract: Provided herein are antibodies, and antigen-binding fragments thereof that specifically bind glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR), compositions comprising the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof, and methods of using the same, including, e.g., methods of treatment using the same.

Abstract: In some aspects, a method of carbonation control can include monitoring, via a first sensor, an environmental condition in a contactor unit, the contactor unit including a plurality of carbonation vessels including carbonation medium, monitoring, via a second sensor, an environmental condition at a location outside of the contactor unit, predicting, based on the measured environmental condition in the contactor unit and the measured environmental condition at the location outside of the contactor unit, a local humidity in a carbonation vessel from the plurality of carbonation vessels, a water content of the carbonation medium in the carbonation vessel from the plurality of carbonation vessels, and a carbonation extent of the carbonation medium in the carbonation vessel from the plurality of carbonation vessels for a carbonation forecasting period, and executing an action on the plurality of carbonation vessels based on the predicted water content and predicted carbonation extent.

Abstract: An apparatus for detecting wind direction includes an attachment member, an elongated member, a vertical member, and a wind direction indicator. The elongated member extends outward from the attachment member. The vertical member is coupled to the elongated member. The wind indicator is coupled to the vertical member and includes a bottom surface, a top surface opposite the bottom surface, and first and second sides extending from the bottom surface to the top surface. The wind indicator further includes a first fin and a second fin, each extending from the top surface and having a forward portion and an aft portion. A first distance between the respective aft portions of the first and second fins is greater than a second distance between the respective forward portions of the first and second fins such that the first and second fins converge toward one another at an acute angle.

Abstract: A remote diode temperature sensing circuit for use in a burn-in system to sense a temperature of a semiconductor device under test includes a temperature sense circuit and an adapter circuit. The temperature sense circuit is configured to output temperature sense currents (Is) during a temperature sense routine. The adapter circuit is configured to drive mirrored sense currents (Ims), which mirror the temperature sense currents, through a diode of the semiconductor device that is connected to an input/output package pin, and present voltage differences across the diode responsive to the mirrored sense currents to the temperature sense circuit. The temperature sense circuit is configured to discharge a temperature output signal that is indicative of the temperature of the diode based on the voltage differences.

Abstract: Described herein are unibody thermal enclosures for electronic devices. In some instances, the enclosure is a unibody structure formed by injecting a structural material into the tool suspending thermal absorbing/spreading material and thermal insulating material within a cavity of the tool. In other instances, the thermal absorbing/spreading material may be exposed to circuitry of the electronic device and the thermal insulating material may be exposed to the exterior of the electronic device.
