  • Publication number: 20240063615
    Abstract: A line pulling system having a chassis, a reel carrier assembly, an electric power source, and an electric jack assembly. The electric jack assembly can include a housing, a leg configured to extend and retract axially from the housing, an electric motor, a current sensor configured to detect a current supplied to the electric motor, and a controller. The controller can receive current data and, if the current is less than a threshold current, supply a first voltage to the electric motor to cause the electric motor to extend or retract the leg at a first speed. If the current is greater than or equal to the threshold current, the controller can supply a second voltage to the electric motor. The second voltage can cause the electric motor to extend or retract the leg at a second speed that is less than the first speed.

  • Patent number: 11900759
    Abstract: A lottery ticket dispensing unit includes at least one ticket compartment and a separation module that has a drive roller and an opposed idler roller. A motor is geared to the drive roller and is switchable between a convey mode wherein the drive roller engages and conveys a leading ticket to a separation position and a brake mode wherein the motor provides a reverse retarding force to the drive roller to brake the drive roller against an attempted reeling of the lottery tickets. from the dispensing unit. A controller switches the motor between the convey and brakes modes such that in the brake mode, power to the motor is interrupted and windings in the motor are short-circuited.

  • Patent number: 11834670
    Abstract: A method of site-specific modification of an endogenous target DNA of a eukaryotic cell is provided. The method includes contacting the endogenous target DNA having an intended modification site with (i) a gene editing system configured to introduce a double strand break in the endogenous target DNA at or near the intended modification site, and (ii) a donor DNA repair template comprising a plurality of tandem repeat sequences. In the method, each of the plurality of tandem repeat sequences comprises an exogenous donor DNA sequence flanked by a donor 5? flanking sequence and a donor 3? flanking sequence.

  • Patent number: 11790519
    Abstract: A non-destructive testing (NDT) system can provide a tree model of an inspection on a display of an NDT device and on a web page configured in a web browser on a computing device coupled to the NDT device. Inspection data acquired using the NDT device can be provided in real-time as the inspection data is associated with a node configured in the tree model. The NDT system can generate an inspection tree model based on an inspection template including a template tree model. Defect properties, inspection instructions, and/or image transforms can be applied to nodes of the template tree model such that the generated inspection tree model includes the applied defect properties, inspection instructions, and/or image transforms, which can then be applied to the inspection data acquired at the inspection point location corresponding to each node.
