  • Publication number: 20220117368
    Abstract: A hair treatment method for curling a lock of hair using a hair holder. The hair holder includes a tubular body which has an opening located at a first end and an opening located at a second end of the tubular body, and configured to allow a lock of hair be inserted from the first end opening of the tubular body toward the second end opening and to be capable of being rolled up. The method includes inserting a lock of hair into the hair holder, rolling up the tubular body together with the lock of hair inserted therein, so that the number of turns of the lock of hair is less than one, and curling the lock of hair in this wound state. A hair holder in which the tubular body is configured to be wound less than one turn is suitably used in this hair treatment method.

  • Patent number: 11299745
    Abstract: The subject invention provides novel plants that are not only resistant to 2,4-D and other phenoxy auxin herbicides, but also to aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides. Heretofore, there was no expectation or suggestion that a plant with both of these advantageous properties could be produced by the introduction of a single gene. The subject invention also includes plants that produce one or more enzymes of the subject invention alone or “stacked” together with another herbicide resistance gene, preferably a glyphosate resistance gene, so as to provide broader and more robust weed control, increased treatment flexibility, and improved herbicide resistance management options. More specifically, preferred enzymes and genes for use according to the subject invention are referred to herein as AAD (aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase) genes and proteins. No ?-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase enzyme has previously been reported to have the ability to degrade herbicides of different chemical classes and modes of action.

  • Publication number: 20220022617
    Abstract: A hair treatment method for curling a lock of hair using a hair holder is provided. The hair holder includes a tubular body into which a lock of hair can be inserted from an opening at a first end of the tubular body toward an opening at a second end thereof, and the tubular body is configured to be capable of being rolled up. The hair treatment method includes inserting a lock of hair into the hair holder, rolling up the tubular body together with the lock of hair inserted in the tubular body so that a large diameter portion that has a tubular shape and forms an outer circumferential portion and a small diameter portion that is located inside the large diameter portion and has a space between the small diameter portion and the large diameter portion are formed, and performing curling while maintaining this wound state.

  • Publication number: 20220001799
    Abstract: The subject invention relates to temperature and Heat Index sensing system, and in particular to a system suited for use in a K9 Police Vehicle that both monitors the temperature and heat index and provides an alert if pre-set maximum values are exceeded.

  • Publication number: 20210403934
    Abstract: This invention relates in part to plant breeding and herbicide tolerant plants. This invention includes a novel AAD-1 transformation event in corn plants comprising a polynucleotide sequence, as described herein, inserted into a specific site within the genome of a corn cell. In some embodiments, said event/polynucleotide sequence can be “stacked” with other traits, including, for example, other herbicide tolerance gene(s) and/or insect-inhibitory proteins. Additionally, the subject invention provides assays for detecting the presence of the subject event in a sample (or corn grain, for example). The assays can be based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct, inserted into the corn genome, and on the genomic sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are also provided.
