Abstract: Impedance testing devices, circuits, systems, and related methods are disclosed. A method may include exciting a device coupled to a load, and capturing a response of the device. The method may further include adjusting the response based on an estimated load response of the device, and estimating an impedance of the device based on the adjusted response.

Abstract: A bed supported storage platform comprises a support structure for mounting to the end of a bed and a platform on which items may be stored. The support structure preferably comprises a pair of spaced apart vertically extending posts and a strut extending from each post outwardly between the mattress and box spring of a bed. The platform is rotatably connected to the posts and is moveable between a stored position in which it extends downwardly along the posts and the end of the bed, to a raised position in which it extends outwardly from the bed in generally the same plane as the top surface of the mattress.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘Plant No. 179’, characterized by its plant height of about 3.5 to 5.5 feet; very large flat flowers with fully overlapping petals; vibrant pink flower color; flowers that maintain their flat shape for up to two days; long flowering period; resistance to diseases and insects common to Hibiscus; tolerance to humidity exremes; tolerance to drought and flooding; and tolerance to temperatures extremes.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Hibiscus plant named ‘Plant No. 115’, characterized by its plant height of about 4.5 to 6.5 feet; very large flat flowers with fully overlapping petals; bright red flower color; flowers that maintain their flat shape for up to two days; long flowering period; resistance to diseases and insects common to Hibiscus; tolerance to humidity extremes; tolerance to drought and flooding; and tolerance to temperatures extremes.

Abstract: A new and distinct hybrid variety Hibiscus moscheutos cultivar, particularly distinguished by having flowers of from ten to twelve inches in diameter that are mostly white, with a pale tinge of pink (Red-Purple Group 69B) on the margins and a deep red eye (Red Group 45A). The length of the blooming cycle is about four to five weeks. The flowers, which have completely overlapping petals, retain their flat shape for two full days, except when temperatures are exceptionally warm. Distinguishing characteristics are constant and stable in asexually reproduced plants.

Abstract: A new and distinct hybrid variety Hibiscus moscheutos cultivar, particularly distinguished by having flowers of from ten to twelve inches in diameter that are white, with medium pink (Red-Purple Group 68A) at the margins extending into the petal about one to two inches before fading out, with deeper red eye (Red Group 45A). The length of the blooming cycle is about four to five weeks. The flowers, which have completely overlapping petals, retain their flat shape for two full days, except when temperatures are exceptionally warm. Distinguishing characteristics are constant and stable in asexually reproduced plants.

Abstract: A new and distinct hybrid variety Hibiscus moscheutos cultivar, particularly distinguished by having flowers of from ten to twelve inches in diameter that are pale pink (Red-Purple Group 69D) with deeper pink (Red-Purple Group 74C) on edges of petal margins and mottled over the petal intensifying slightly toward the center, with deeper red eye (Red-Purple Group 60A). The length of the blooming cycle is about four to five weeks. The flowers, which have completely overlapping petals, retain their flat shape for two full days, except when temperatures are exceptionally warm. Distinguishing characteristics are constant and stable in asexually reproduced plants.

Abstract: A new and distinct hybrid variety Hibiscus moscheutos cultivar, particularly distinguished by having flowers of from nine to eleven inches in diameter that are deep pink (Red-Purple Group 73A) at the margins with somewhat paler pink (Red-Purple Group 73C) toward the center of each petal, with a deeper red eye (Red Group 45A). The length of the blooming cycle is about four to five weeks. The flowers, which have completely overlapping petals, retain their flat shape for two full days, except when temperatures are exceptionally warm. Distinguishing characteristics are constant and stable in asexually reproduced plants.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct winter hardy Hibiscus plant cultivar named `Pink Wonder` resulting from a definite effort over 14 years by selection and hybridization that produces a very large brilliant pink flower of elegant form and substance on a plant which has many landscape applications blooming profusely from midsummer to frost with flowers that maintain their shape for two to four days each.

Abstract: A new and distinct hybrid variety of Hibiscus moscheutos, particularly distinguished by having flowers of from seven to thirteen inches in diameter that are white with a red eye (Pantone 201u). The length of the blooming cycle is about 4-5 weeks. The flowers, which have completely overlapping petals, retain their flat shape for two full days, except when temperatures are exceptionally warm. Distinguishing characteristics are constant and stable in asexually reproduced plants.

Abstract: A new and distinct hybrid variety of Hibiscus moscheutos, particularly distinguished by having flowers of from seven to twelve inches in diameter that are light fuschia with a darker eye, closely matching Pantone 224U with a Pantone 227U eye and with fully overlapping petals. The blooming period is about 3 to 4 weeks, but individual blooms allowed to remain on the plant typically last about 2 days. Mature plant specimens are about 31/2 to 51/2 feet in height. The distinguishing characteristics are constant and stable in asexually reproduced plants.

Abstract: A new and distinct hybrid variety of hibiscus, particularly distinguished by having flowers of from seven to twelve inches in diameter that are fuchsia pink with a darker eye, closely matching Pantone 221U with a Pantone 222U eye, will fully overlapping petals. The length of the blooming cycle is about 3-5 weeks. Individual blooms last about 2-3 days on the stalk. The distinguishing characteristics are constant and stable in asexually reproduced plants.

Abstract: A new and distinct hybrid variety of Hibiscus moscheutos cultivar, particularly distinguished by having flowers of from seven to twelve inches in diameter that are deep red, closely matching Pantone 215u. The flowers have fully overlapping petals. Pedicels about 3" and are distinctive in having a reddish color (Pantone 208U) that is more pronounced on the upper side; the back side is greenish-yellow. Distinguishing characteristics are constant and stable in asexually reproduced plants.
