  • Patent number: 11229608
    Abstract: Compositions and methods for systemic delivery of at least one cargo in a vascular plant. Compositions may include at least one cargo delivery particle, having a core and a shell; and at least one cargo disposed on the shell. The core may include at least one micronutrient. The shell may include a coating material. The at least one cargo delivery particle may have a size of less than about 10 nanometers. Methods may include administering an effective amount of the compositions to a plant.

  • Patent number: 10308954
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of double-stranded RNA (ds RNA) mediated gene silencing of root knot nematodes. The invention particularly provides an effective method for reducing the number of reproducing population and the number of progenies per individual of the root knot nematodes. The present invention also relates to host delivered dsRNA for controlling infection of root knot nematodes.

  • Publication number: 20170220886
    Abstract: Method and system for reading and validating identity documents that involves acquiring an image of a first and/or a second side of an identity document using a camera of a portable device; recognizing whether MRZ characters exist or are readable in the acquired image; if said MRZ characters are readable or do exist reading them obtaining a pre-identified document, or otherwise, detecting a series of local points of interests and their positions on the image calculating descriptors or vectors; and identifying the type or model of said identity document, starting by correcting perspective distortions caused by a bad relative position of the identity document with respect to the camera for obtaining a corrected and substantially rectangular image of the first and/or second side of the document at a predetermined scale which is used to perform, automatically, said identification of the identity document type or model and to automatically read and identify text and non-text information included in said corrected

  • Publication number: 20120281077
    Abstract: Method and system for reading and validating identity documents The method comprises:—acquiring an image of a first and/or a second side of an identity document for a visible light spectrum using a camera of a portable device; - automatically reading MRZ characters and/or VIZ characters in said acquired image; and—identifying the type or model of said identity document, starting by correcting perspective distortions caused by a bad relative position of the identity document with respect to the camera for the purpose of obtaining a corrected and substantially rectangular image of the first and/or second side of the document at a predetermined scale which is used to perform, automatically, said identification of the identity document type or model and to automatically read and identify text and/or non-text information included in said corrected and substantially rectangular image. The system is suitable for implementing the proposed method.

  • Patent number: 5757607
    Abstract: A metallized dielectric film (103, 104, 105, 106) is used for manufacturing electrical power capacitors of self-healing type. The metallization (60, 60', 601, 601'), which is obtained by known deposition techniques for zinc, aluminum or zinc-aluminum alloys, has a variable thickness of substantially decreasing profile, such that the resistance, evaluated in ohms/square .OMEGA./.quadrature.), varies from a minimum of 1 .OMEGA./.quadrature. in the contact region (51, 51', 501), to a maximum of 60 .OMEGA./.quadrature. (on the opposite side). The thickness of the metallization (60, 60', 601, 601') is reduced by a continuous variation of for example inverse square type.

  • Patent number: 4240126
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to an explosion protection device for a capacitor th a metal casing. According to the invention, an electrical capacitor comprises an intermediate member located above the plates within a cup casing, which is closed upperly by a cover carrying terminals electrically connected to the plates and is axially deformable in a region between the intermediate member and the cover by the action of internal pressure. The intermediate member comprises a peripheral annular portion, from which two appendices project towards the center. Said appendices carry conductors, which are caused to rest resiliently against the inner end of the terminals when the casing is undeformed and are separated therefrom when the casing is deformed.
