  • Patent number: 9587248
    Abstract: Plants having increased resistance to a pest relative to corresponding control plants are provided. The resistant plants have inhibited expression, activity, or function of a susceptibility gene, and thereby have decreased expression, activity, or function of the susceptibility gene in the presence of the pest as compared to a control plant in which the wild-type susceptibility gene is normally expressed in the presence of the pest. Methods of producing plants with increased resistance are also provided. The methods involve altering the expression, activity, or function of a susceptibility gene, such as Mds-1, in the plant. Isolated Mds-1 sequences are provided that can be manipulated to enhance pest resistance in modified plants. Modified plants, plant cells, tissues, seeds, and progeny are also provided having enhanced pest resistance.

  • Patent number: 9007419
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an audiovisual apparatus, which includes an audiovisual capturing unit, an audiovisual broadcast unit, and a transmission cable module. The two ends of the transmission cable module are respectively connected to the audiovisual capturing unit and the audiovisual broadcast unit. The transmission cable module has a video cable group for transmitting video signals and an audio cable group for transmitting audio signals suitable for reducing echo. The audio cable group includes a cable for providing a digital clock for the audio signal, a cable for providing a clock for the left right channel switching audio signal, a cable for inputting serial audio signal, and a cable for outputting serial audio signal. With this arrangement, the audio signals captured by the audiovisual capturing unit and transmitted by the transmission cable module to the audiovisual broadcast unit can be effectively removed of echo.

  • Patent number: 7496763
    Abstract: A memory storage device includes a host interface to be connected to a terminal host, a controller connected to the host interface, and a fingerprint sensor and a memory module both connected to the controller. The controller communicates with the terminal host by handshakes and causes the terminal host to automatically run a suitable driver and a suitable application program from the memory module to the terminal host. The terminal host receives an instruction from a user through the driver and the program and informs the controller to control the fingerprint sensor to read to-be-recognized fingerprint data of the user. The terminal host utilizes the application program to process and judge whether or not the to-be-recognized fingerprint data substantially matches with template fingerprint data stored in the memory module, and further enables a specific block of the memory module to be accessed by the terminal host according to a matching result.
