Abstract: According to the invention, there is provided seed and plants of the corn variety designated CV399333. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of the variety CV399333, and to methods for producing a corn plant produced by crossing a corn plant of variety CV399333 with itself or with another corn plant, such as a plant of another variety. The invention further relates to corn seeds and plants produced by crossing plants of variety CV399333 with plants of another variety, such as another inbred line. The invention further relates to the inbred and hybrid genetic complements of plants of variety CV399333.

Abstract: An apparatus for ultrasonic elastography includes a housing, a moveable surface, and a transducer in ultrasonic communication with the moveable surface. A driver is arranged to mechanically move the moveable surface with respect to the housing. The housing can also be formed such that the moveable surface is a moveable exterior surface of the housing, such as a compliant membrane, which is moved in response to the driver to induce tissue compression. The housing may be arranged to be held in an operator's hand. Alternatively, the housing may be arranged for an insertion into an opening in a patient's body. The driver may move the transducer or moveable exterior surface in a cyclical manner at a low frequency.

Abstract: Signal processors that support transmit or receive beams of two dimensional array antennas generate an appropriate distribution of phase shifts and/or time delays for each of the elements in the antenna array. The signals are processed by row and by column, where corresponding elements are grouped using intermediate frequency tagging, i.e., the elements of a first column are translated to a first intermediate frequency, the elements of a second column are translated to a second intermediate frequency, etc. Signals from elements of like rows are then summed and subjected to a row delay. The delayed signals are then summed and passed through a filter bank, where the summed signal is partitioned in accordance with the plurality of intermediate frequencies into a plurality of column signals. The column signals are subjected to a respective column delays, are translated to a common intermediate or baseband frequency and are summed to establish a received beam signal.

Abstract: An optical system makes use of solar illumination as a light source to achieve covert operation.
