  • Maize hybrid X18N926
    Patent number: 11963500
    Abstract: A novel maize variety designated X18N926 and seed, plants and plant parts thereof are produced by crossing inbred maize varieties. Methods for producing a maize plant by crossing hybrid maize variety X18N926 with another maize plant are disclosed. Methods for producing a maize plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into X18N926 through backcrossing or genetic transformation, and to the maize seed, plant and plant part produced thereby are described. Maize variety X18N926, the seed, the plant produced from the seed, and variants, mutants, and minor modifications of maize variety X18N926 are provided. Methods for producing maize varieties derived from maize variety X18N926 and methods of using maize variety X18N926 are disclosed.

  • Modular DC distribution system for providing flexible power conversion scalability within a power backplane between an AC source and low voltage DC outputs
    Patent number: 6421259
    Abstract: A modular DC power distribution system. A physically discrete input conversion module is utilized for converting a source AC signal to a high voltage DC signal. Multiple universal mounting sites are provided in a power supply backplane for engaging one or more of such input conversion modules. Within the power supply backplane, the high voltage DC signal is delivered to a DC distribution bus. A physically discrete DC step-down module is utilized for converting the high voltage DC signal from the DC distribution bus to a point-of-load DC signal distributable to application boards. The power supply backplane includes multiple universal mounting sites wherein one or more DC step-down modules may be installed or removed. In another embodiment, the DC power distribution system of the present invention includes a pre-charge system for permitting the input conversion modules and the DC step-down modules to be hot plugged into the power supply backplane.

  • Composition for pre-treating fabric for transfer printing and a transfer printing process
    Patent number: 4119398
    Abstract: A composition for the treatment of a fabric containing fibres which do not readily retain dyes imparted thereto by transfer printing, such as wool and cellulosic fibres e.g. cotton, the treatment being prior to transfer printing on the fabric and the composition comprising in combination(a) a coating material comprising a self-curing acrylic resin composition,(b) at least one of (i) an agent for softening the fibres of the fabric and (ii) a self-curing elastomeric polysiloxane composition, and optionally one or more of the following ingredients:(c) a curable amine-formaldehyde prepolymer containing free hydroxyl groups,(d) a polymer emulsion,(e) at least one humectant,(f) a wetting agent, and(g) a dispersion stabiliser for the composition.The resin content of the coating deposited from the composition on the fabric is preferably substantially completely cured prior to transfer printing.
