The acoustic wave transducer is capable of transmitting or receiving surface acoustic waves to or from the reflective array. The reflective array is capable of acoustically coupling the surface acoustic waves to propagate from the back surface and across the front surface via the curved connecting surface. Various types of acoustic touch apparatus with edge sensitive touch functions can be provided, according to specific embodiments. | 06-26-2014 |

20120159669 | METHOD FOR ALTERING DEPTH OF FLOWER COLOR FOR THE LIGHTER OR DEEPER - Disclosed is a novel method for altering the depth of flower color for the lighter or deeper. Specifically disclosed is a method for altering the depth of flower color of a plant for the lighter or deeper by varying the anthocyanin content in petals of the plant, which comprises a step of regulating the expression of type IV chalcone isomerase in the plant. | 06-21-2012 |
20130347143 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING LILIES CONTAINING DELPHINIDIN IN THE PETALS THEREOF - Provided is a method for producing lilies containing a blue pigment (delphinidin) in the petals thereof by introducing a foreign gene into lilies. The method pertaining to the present invention is a method for producing lilies containing delphinidin in the petals thereof, including the following steps: introducing, into a lily, a F3′5′H gene derived from a campanula and comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a peptide having flavonoid 3′5′-hydroxylase (F3′5′H) activity, such as a nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 or SEQ ID NO: 11; while also introducing a F3′H gene fragment derived from a lily and comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a peptide having flavonoid 3′-hydroxylase activity, such as a nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 3 or SEQ ID NO: 16; and inhibiting the expression of endogenous F3′H expression, which acts on cyanidin synthesis in lily petals, while the F3′5′H gene that has been introduced acts to cause the synthesis of delphinidin. | 12-26-2013 |
