  • Publication number: 20240184507
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a remote sensing system. The remote sensing system includes an article of personal protective equipment (PPE) including a display panel configured to be viewed by a wearer of the article of PPE. The remote sensing system further includes a plurality of sensors disposed remotely from the article of PPE. Each of the sensors is configured to generate a respective signal. The remote sensing system further includes a processor communicably coupled to the plurality of sensors and the display panel of the article of PPE. The processor is configured to receive the respective signals from the plurality of sensors. The processor is further configured to select at least one signal from the respective signals. The processor then determines at least one critical message corresponding to the at least one signal.

  • Patent number: 9963750
    Abstract: Methods are provided for high throughput genotyping of plants, utilizing at least three primers, one primer recognizing a polymorphic sequence of a first species of a plant genus, a second primer recognizing a second polymorphic sequence of a second species, and a third primer that recognizes sequences of both the first and second species and producing a measurable signal when amplifying a plant DNA-containing sample. Additional primers recognizing additional species may also be employed. The method may be repeated for multiple sequences each diagnosing a species or hybrid, and results analyzed using data from multiple assays to improve the statistical robustness of genotyping results. Controls are provided in which the primer target sequences are introduced into and extracted from bacteria and the measurable signal used as a control. The methods are particularly useful for genotyping a population of plants, especially where weed species and/or hybrids are present.

  • Patent number: 7855372
    Abstract: Non-streaming high-efficiency perforated semiconductor neutron detectors, method of making same and measuring wands and detector modules utilizing same are disclosed. The detectors have improved mechanical structure, flattened angular detector responses, and reduced leakage current. A plurality of such detectors can be assembled into imaging arrays, and can be used for neutron radiography, remote neutron sensing, cold neutron imaging, SNM monitoring, and various other applications.
