20160060712 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PERICARP GENOTYPING - The invention includes methods for obtaining samples of maternal tissue from seeds, obtaining genetic material from the maternal seed tissue, and performing a molecular analysis on the genetic material from the maternal seed tissue to determine maternal lineage of a single seed. The invention also includes methods for establishing a consensus maternal genotype from maternal seed tissues obtained from multiple seeds as well as methods for determining paternal lineage. | 03-03-2016 |
20160060713 | Systems and Methods for Genotyping Seed Components - The invention provides methods for obtaining genetic material from plant embryos while preserving their viability as well as methods for performing a molecular analysis of plant embryos, particularly with small quantities of genetic material. The methods may include the steps of collecting shed cellular material from one or more embryos; obtaining DNA from the shed cellular material; performing a molecular analysis of the DNA; and germinating at least one of said one or more embryos. A further extension of this method includes determining whether to germinate and grow the embryo or to discard the embryo based on its genotype as part of a breeding process. | 03-03-2016 |

20140348461 | OPTICAL COMPONENT WITH ANGLED-FACET WAVEGUIDE - An optical component includes a component body, and at least one angled-facet waveguide formed in the component body, wherein the angled-facet waveguide is substantially mirror-symmetrical in shape relative to a line at or near the center of the angled-facet waveguide. | 11-27-2014 |
20150063768 | OPTICAL WAVEGUIDE STRUCTURE WITH WAVEGUIDE COUPLER TO FACILITATE OFF-CHIP COUPLING - Aspects of the invention are directed to a method for forming an optical waveguide structure. Initially, a base film stack is received with an optical waveguide feature covered by a lower dielectric layer. An etch stop feature is then formed on the lower dielectric layer, and an upper dielectric layer is formed over the etch stop feature. Subsequently, a trench is patterned in the upper dielectric layer and the etch stop feature at least in part by utilizing the etch stop feature as an etch stop. Lastly, a waveguide coupler feature is formed in the trench, at least a portion of the waveguide coupler feature having a refractive index higher than the lower dielectric layer and the upper dielectric layer. The waveguide coupler feature is positioned over at least a portion of the optical waveguide feature but is separated from the optical waveguide feature by a portion of the lower dielectric layer. | 03-05-2015 |
