Abstract: The invention provides a system for conveying an abrasive to cut an underwater object (e.g., unexploded ordnance), comprising: a cutting head comprising a high-pressure-water inlet, an abrasive inlet, a mixing chamber, and a focusing tube; a high-pressure water line configured to flow high-pressure water into the mixing chamber; an abrasive line configured to flow an abrasive into the mixing chamber; and a pressurized gas vessel connected to a sealed gas-valve chamber configured to reduce gas pressure to a conveyance pressure greater than atmospheric pressure. When the abrasive valve is open, the abrasive is conveyed from the abrasive feeder vessel into the mixing chamber, and the gas pneumatically conveys the abrasive from the abrasive feeder vessel to the mixing chamber. The focusing tube directs the high-velocity waterjet and the abrasive onto the underwater object for cutting. Methods are also described for using the disclosed system to cut an underwater object.

Abstract: Provided herein are immunoconjugates, such as radioimmunoconjugates, comprising a therapeutic moiety conjugated to an antibody or antigen binding domain with binding specificity for hK2. In certain embodiments, the hK2-specific immunoconjugate demonstrates a short half-life.

Abstract: A container lid includes a base defining (1) a base receiver centrally disposed in the base, and (2) a drinking opening off-center in the base. A cover, defining a straw opening, includes a catch rotatably disposed in the receiver. A gasket defines a slit aligned with the straw opening for receiving a straw. The cover is rotatably positionable in a first position where the slit is aligned with the drinking opening. The cover is rotatably positionable in a second position where the slit is mis-aligned with the drinking opening.

Abstract: An automatic document feeder includes a media path to route media through an image read area for the automatic document feeder, and a media ramp supported along the media path after the image read area, with an end of the media ramp to rotate in a direction transverse to the media path.

Abstract: An automatic document feeder includes a media path to route media through the automatic document feeder, at least one media tray to one of supply the media to the media path and receive the media from the media path, and an automated media tray extender at an end of the media tray, the automated media tray extender to be positioned based on a presence of the media in the media tray.

Abstract: Examples of alignment fins for output trays of media dispensing devices are disclosed. In an example, an alignment fin is coupled to a support surface of an output tray of a media dispensing device. The alignment fin is to transition between a first position wherein the alignment fin is disposed below the support surface, and a second position wherein the alignment fin is exposed through an aperture in the support surface. When the alignment fin is in the second position, the alignment fin is to align the media dispensed from the dispensing device into a stack on the support surface.

Abstract: According to examples, an apparatus may include an input tray coupled to a media path and an output tray to receive media from the media path. The output tray may be automatically positioned to an open position based on the media being inputted into the input tray. A movable section may be movably coupled to the output tray. In some examples, the movable section may automatically move relative to the output tray based on the output tray being automatically positioned to the open position.

Abstract: A method of determining a percentage of cell-types in a saliva specimen includes the steps of obtaining genomic DNA from the saliva specimen, observing cytosine methylation at specific CG loci in the genomic DNA of the saliva specimen, comparing the observed methylation with the methylation observed in genomic DNA collected from a reference group of saliva specimens and correlating the CG loci methylation observed in the genomic DNA of the saliva specimen with the methylation observed in the genomic DNA of the reference group of saliva specimens to determine the percentage of cell-types in the saliva specimen.

Abstract: A system for rendering safe unexploded military ordnance items found on land by use of a portable apparatus employing entrainment waterjet technology. The portable apparatus includes a tool package containing a plurality of tools designed for accessing the interior of a unexploded ordnance item. The interior of the ordnance item is accessed, and its internal contents, which it typically an energetic material, is washed-out and recovered.

Abstract: A media scanner including an input tray, an output tray disposed above the input tray, a media feeder to advance media along a media path from the input tray to the output tray, an upper scanning device to generate a first scan line, and a lower scanning assembly. The upper scanning device is disposed to face downward to scan a first side of the media. The lower scanning assembly is disposed to face upward to scan a second side of the media. The media path extends from the input tray to below the upper scanning device, to above the lower scanning assembly, and to the output tray. The upper scanning device is disposed at an angle with respect to the media path to cause a front edge of the media advancing along the media path to contact the upper scanning device at or before the first scan line.
