  • Patent number: 11817017
    Abstract: A traffic safety sign assembly for guiding traffic around a vehicle parked on a shoulder of a roadway includes a sign that is positionable on a vehicle that is parked on a shoulder of a roadway. In this way the sign is visible to oncoming traffic on the roadway. Arrow indicia are printed on the sign to direct oncoming traffic away from the vehicle. A plurality of sign light emitters is each integrated into the sign to emit light outwardly from the sign. In this way the sign light emitters enhance visibility of the sign for the oncoming traffic. The plurality of sign light emitters is strategically arranged on the sign to indicate a preferred direction of travel. In this way the sign light emitters visually communicate the preferred direction of travel to the oncoming traffic.

  • Publication number: 20230148020
    Abstract: In a method for facilitating selection of chromatography parameters for manufacturing a therapeutic protein, one or more process parameter values associated with a hypothetical chromatography process, and one or more molecular descriptors descriptive of the therapeutic protein, are received. The method also includes predicting a performance indicator for the hypothetical chromatography process at least by analyzing the one or more process parameters and the one or more molecular descriptors using a machine learning model. The machine learning model is a regression tree model, an extreme gradient boost model, or an elastic net model. The method also includes causing the predicted performance indicator, and/or an indication of whether the predicted performance indicator satisfies one or more acceptability criteria, to be presented to a user via a user interface.
