Patent number: 11976287Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of recombinant fatty acid synthesis, particularly in transgenic plants. The application describes genes involved in fatty acid synthesis and provides methods and vectors for the manipulation of fatty acid composition of plant oils. In particular, the invention provides constructs for achieving the integration of multiple heterologous genes involved in fatty acid synthesis into the plant genome, such that the resulting plants produce altered levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Also described are methods for enhancing the expression of fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes by co-expressing a silencing suppressor within the plant storage organ.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2020Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignees: COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANISATION, GRAINS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONInventors: James Robertson Petrie, Anne Maree Mackenzie, Qing Liu, Pushkar Shrestha, Peter David Nichols, Susan Irene Ellis Blackburn, Maged Peter Mansour, Stanley Suresh Robert, Dion Matthew Frederick Frampton, Xue-Rong Zhou, Surinder Pal Singh, Craig Christopher Wood

Patent number: 11947000Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are described for compact radar systems. In some examples, a compact radar system can include a first set of transmit antennas, a second set of receive antennas, one or more processors, and at least one computer-readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the radar system to coordinate digital beam steering of the first set of transmit antennas and the second set of receive antennas, and coordinate digital beam forming with one or more of the second set of receive antennas to detect one or more objects within a distance of the radar system.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2022Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: FORTEM TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Adam Eugene Robertson, Jon Erik Knabenschuh, Lyman Davies Horne, Tyler Drue Park, Matthew Robertson Morin, James David Mackie, Matthew Elliott Argyle, Bryan Alan Davis, Chester Parker Ferry, Daniel Glen Bezzant, Justin Craig Huntington, Nathan James Packard

Patent number: 11914523Abstract: This disclosure provides techniques hierarchical address virtualization within a memory controller and configurable block device allocation. By performing address translation only at select hierarchical levels, a memory controller can be designed to have predictable I/O latency, with brief or otherwise negligible logical-to-physical address translation time. In one embodiment, address transition may be implemented entirely with logical gates and look-up tables of a memory controller integrated circuit, without requiring processor cycles. The disclosed virtualization scheme also provides for flexibility in customizing the configuration of virtual storage devices, to present nearly any desired configuration to a host or client.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2023Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Radian Memory Systems, Inc.Inventors: Robert Lercari, Alan Chen, Mike Jadon, Craig Robertson, Andrey V.

Patent number: 11907569Abstract: A host stores “context” metadata for logical block addresses (LBAs) in a manner tied to physical location. Notwithstanding log-structured or copy on write processes, the host is then provided with immediate context when the host is called upon to assist a memory controller with data identified by physical location, for example, for memory reconfiguration, garbage collection, wear leveling or other processes. The metadata for example can provide the host with insight as to which data may be moved to enhance performance optimization and where that data can be placed. In one embodiment, the host writes back one or more references that span multiple layers of indirection in concert with write of the underlying data; in another embodiment, the context can point to other metadata.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Radian Memory Systems, Inc.Inventors: Alan Chen, Craig Robertson, Robert Lercari, Andrey V.

Publication number: 20230416153Abstract: The present invention is directed to a gypsum panel and a method of making a gypsum panel. The gypsum panel comprises a gypsum core and a facing material. The gypsum core includes gypsum, a foaming agent, and optionally starch in an amount of less than 4 wt. % based on the weight of gypsum. The gypsum core includes air voids having an average void size of 50 microns or more. The gypsum panel has a density of 33 pcf or less, a weight of 1,800 lbs/MSF or less, and an NRC value of 0.2 or more.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 18, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Inventors: R.

Patent number: 11596577Abstract: A package has a plurality of seamless compartments coupled together. A different one of the plurality compartments each includes a different respective one of a plurality of respective void spaces and a different respective one of a plurality of respective void space delimiting surfaces. A different one of a plurality of fill entries each forms a fluent entry into a different respective compartment's void space. At least one fill entry of said plurality is in an elastomeric portion of said package, and the at least one fill entry has a largest cross sectional area which is equal to or less than 25% of a largest cross sectional area of the compartment having the respective void space for which the fill entry forms the fluent entry. Each void space delimiting surface follows an outline of a separate 3D pill shape.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2019Date of Patent: March 7, 2023Inventor: Craig Robertson
