  • Patent number: 11220297
    Abstract: Land vehicles, modular systems for forming monocoques of land vehicles, and methods of forming monocoques of land vehicles using modular systems are envisioned. In certain embodiments, the land vehicles are provided as delivery vehicles and/or utility vehicles. A land vehicle includes a monocoque supporting a plurality of wheels to permit movement of the vehicle relative to an underlying surface in use of the land vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20210213952
    Abstract: An electric delivery truck control system is disclosed. Sensors detect operation parameters associated with the electric delivery truck as the electric delivery truck maneuvers along the roadway. An electric delivery truck control unit detects electric delivery truck control inputs associated with an operation of the electric delivery truck. The electric delivery truck control inputs are generated from an operation of the electric delivery truck. An operation parameter controller automatically adjusts the operation of the electric delivery truck as the electric delivery truck maneuvers along the roadway to maintain the operation of the electric delivery truck within an operation threshold based on the detected driving parameters and the electric delivery truck control inputs.

  • Publication number: 20120156689
    Abstract: A method of determining an analyte parameter is described for an analyte in a detection region having at least one analyte binding zone. The method includes detecting presence of an analyte element bound at the binding zone, incrementing or decrementing a count and preventing recount of the element to obtain absolute quantification.

  • Patent number: 6255070
    Abstract: Nucleic acid encoding subunits of a polypeptide folding complex containing TCp-1 is useful in expression of the subunits for assembly of the complex in vitro or in vivo. The complex promotes folding of polypeptides, such as tubulin, e.g., following recombinant expression. The sequences share a high degree of homology but the C-termini are sufficiently different to enable peptides with sequences derived therefrom to be used in obtaining antibodies specific for the various subunits, i.e., able to distinguish between them. The antibodies may be used in analysis and design of complexes able to fold different polypeptides.
