Abstract: A method for identifying a quantitative trait locus associated with desirable nutritional traits in canola includes: analyzing a population of canola plants or germplasm for desirable nutritional traits; determining the genotype of the canola plants or germplasm using at least one marker selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1 through SEQ ID NO:111; mapping the canola plants or germplasm for the presence of a quantitative trait locus (QTL) associated with the markers; and associating the QTL with the desirable nutritional trait. An isolated and/or recombinant nucleic acid includes a sequence associated with a quantitative trait locus (QTL), wherein the QTL is associated with a desirable nutritional trait in a canola plant or germplasm and wherein the QTL is further associated with at least one marker selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1 through SEQ ID NO:111.

Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a headset that simulates accelerations that correspond to a visual presentation being viewed by the user. The headset includes a force system that applies a force on the head of the user to simulate an acceleration being viewed by the user. The force system may include an actuator that moves a weight to different locations on or around the headset. By moving the weight to different locations, the weight can apply a force that simulates acceleration. For example, the headset can move the weight to apply a force that lifts the head of the user up, which is similar to a force that would be applied if the user was physically accelerated forward. By moving the weight, the force system can simulate accelerations in any number of directions—e.g., front, back, left, right, etc.

Abstract: A miniature probe for measuring small voltage signals of a DUT includes a probe body having a flexible substrate and signal transmission lines running a longitudinally, and a first probe connection circuit located at a first end of the probe body and including exposed wires, SMT components coupled between the exposed wires and the signal transmission lines, respectively, and a local mechanical stiffener mounted adjacent the SMT components. The wires are connectable to the DUT for receiving the voltage signals. The probe further includes a second probe connection circuit located at a second end of the probe body, and including transmission line connectors coupled to the signal transmission lines, respectively, and a bent portion of the flexible substrate between the probe body and the transmission line connectors. The bent portion enables the transmission line connectors to exit the probe substantially axially, relative to the longitudinal length of the probe body.

Abstract: A Method for detecting stalling of an electric stepper motor (18), with the following steps is shown: a) samples of the voltage at a coil of the stepper motor (18) are taken continuously or in regular intervals, b) a deviation value is determined corresponding to the deviation between the measured voltages of the two samples, and c) the deviation value is used to determine whether the electric motor (18) is stalling. Further, a stepper motor and a heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning system is shown.

Abstract: A medicine container cap for use with a bottle containing a plurality of pills includes a casing having a pill dispensing opening. A pill dispensing track assembly is removably coupled to the casing and includes a pill ramp for delivering pills to the pill dispensing opening and an insert that includes a pill dispenser slot that receives pills from the pill ramp and is open to the pill dispensing opening. The insert is detachably from the pill ramp and is insertable through an opening in the casing for being attached to the pill ramp. The pill ramp includes an adjustable member that modifies a characteristic of the pill ramp based on at least one characteristic of the insert that is selected, inserted through the opening in the casing and coupled to the pill ramp.

Abstract: A stator-less electric motor for an MRI system is provided. The stator-less electric motor includes a body, a rotor rotatable connected to the body, and at least one coil winding disposed on the rotor. The at least one coil winding is arranged so as to rotate the rotor when energized via an electrical current in the presence of a magnetic field generated by a magnet assembly of the MRI system.

Abstract: A body coil support structure includes an elongate support member. The elongate support member defines an opening and an examination axis passing through the opening along a length of the elongate support member. The opening is configured to accept an object to be imaged. The elongate support member has a target shape for use during operation of the MRI system, with the elongate support member configured to be subjected to an operational load during operation. In a design state, the elongate support member defines a design shape, with the elongate support member not subjected to the operational load in the design state. In an installed state after installation in the MRI system, the elongate support member defines an operational shape. The elongate support member is subjected to the operational load in the installed state. The operational shape is closer to the target shape than is the design shape.
