20130071538 | WHEAT VARIETY MSU LINE E0028 - A wheat variety designated MSU Line E0028, the plants and seeds of MSU Line E0028, methods for producing a wheat plant produced by crossing the variety E0028 with another wheat plant, and hybrid wheat seeds and plants produced by crossing the variety E0028 with another wheat line or plant, and the creation of variants by mutagenesis or transformation of variety E0028. The present technology also relates to methods for producing other wheat varieties or breeding lines derived from MSU Line E0028 and to wheat varieties or breeding lines produced by those methods. | 03-21-2013 |
20130101730 | MICROWAVE PLASMA REACTORS - New and improved microwave plasma assisted reactors, for example chemical vapor deposition (MPCVD) reactors, are disclosed. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors operate at pressures ranging from about 10 Torr to about 760 Torr. The disclosed microwave plasma assisted reactors include a movable lower sliding short and/or a reduced diameter conductive stage in a coaxial cavity of a plasma chamber. For a particular application, the lower sliding short position and/or the conductive stage diameter can be variably selected such that, relative to conventional reactors, the reactors can be tuned to operate over larger substrate areas, operate at higher pressures, and discharge absorbed power densities with increased diamond synthesis rates (carats per hour) and increased deposition uniformity. | 04-25-2013 |
20130102909 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING A CENTRAL AORTIC PRESSURE WAVEFORM - A method is provided for determining a central aortic pressure waveform. The method includes: measuring two or more peripheral artery pressure waveforms; analyzing the signals so as to extract common features in the measured waveforms; and determining an absolute central aortic pressure waveform based on the common features. | 04-25-2013 |
20130130221 | System and Method to Facilitate Creation of Educational Information - The computer-implemented system to facilitate creation of educational information employs a networked computer system that stores at least one resource in association with a first electronic file, storing metadata information about usage of the resource. A resource assembly tool implemented by a computer is programmed to access the networked computer system to display information to an instructor about at least one resource, including the metadata information. This aids the instructor in selecting resources for inclusion in educational information being created. The resource assembly tool is configured to assemble the educational information to include resources selected for inclusion being created for dissemination to learners via said networked computer system. The networked computer system is further configured to capture information about usage of the resource and to update the stored metadata information to reflect said captured information. | 05-23-2013 |
20130150619 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING ACYLOXY CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND DERIVATIVES THEREOF - The disclosure relates to a process for forming an acyloxy carboxylic acid or a derivative of the acid. A hydroxy acid compound is reacted with a carboxylic acid in a reaction vessel and in the presence of a catalyst, such as in a reactive distillation column containing the catalyst. The reaction product formed in the reaction vessel includes an acyloxy carboxylic acid compound, which can be removed continuously from the vessel in a product stream. Another product stream containing unreacted (excess) carboxylic acid and/or reaction byproducts such as water can be separately removed continuously from the reaction vessel. | 06-13-2013 |
20130157340 | GLYPHOSATE RESISTANT 5-ENOLPYRUVYLSHIKIMATE-3-PHOSPHATE (EPSP) SYNTHASE - A plant comprising SEQ. ID. NO. 2 or a functional portion thereof, wherein SEQ ID NO. 2 is not native to said plant. A glyphosate resistant grass of economic value comprises a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a EPSPS enzyme. In some embodiments, the nucleic acid molecule comprises a sequence of SEQ. ID. NO. 1, or a functional portion thereof. In some embodiments, the EPSPS enzyme can be a polypeptide molecule comprising an amino acid sequence that is essentially of SEQ. ID. NO. 2, or portion thereof. Embodiments include a DNA construct comprising a SEQ. ID. NO. 1 or a functional portion thereof and transgenic methods for inserting the DNA construct into a plant. Some embodiments include non-transgenic glyphosate resistant turfgrasses. | 06-20-2013 |
20130166758 | System and Method for Preparing and Delivering Informational Content - At least one content publishing server having a memory storing a map data structure configured by a content author which defines relationships among plural resources and thereby define an informational item of higher granularity content. Each of the plural resources are associated with a first electronic file linked to said map data structure and configured to store information about the usage of the associated resource. Higher granularity content is associated with a second electronic file linked to said map data structure configured to store information about the usage of the higher granularity content. The server which delivers the informational item to a computer gathers feedback usage information reflecting how the higher granularity content and individual ones of the plural resources are used by users. The server updates the electronic files in accordance with the feedback usage information. | 06-27-2013 |
