  • Publication number: 20240092579
    Abstract: A container conveying system including a controller, a first robot, and/or a second robot. A first container pickup mechanism is provided on the first robot. A second container pickup mechanism is provided on the second robot. The controller is configured to, in response to a container conveying request, send a first conveying instruction to the first robot if it is determined a target container to be conveyed based on the container conveying request has a size within a first size range; or send a second conveying instruction to the second robot if it is determined the target has a size within a second size range. In warehousing operation scenarios, by jointly using the two robots for operation, containers with various container sizes can be picked up and placed, thus improving utilization rate of a container storage space.

  • Publication number: 20210106571
    Abstract: Isothiocyanate (ITC)-androgen receptor (AR) inhibitor conjugates for apoptosis induction in cancer cells are described. The conjugates can have electrophilicity blocked with an agent such as N-acetyl cysteine. When administered in combination with a glutathione (GSH)-depleting agent, the conjugates result in ferroptosis of cancer cells.
