Publication number: 20190104127Abstract: A smart process control switch can implement a lockdown routine to lockdown its communication ports exclusively for use by devices having known physical addresses, enabling the smart process control switch to prevent new, potentially hostile, devices from communicating with other devices to which the smart process control switch is connected. Further, the smart process control switch can implement an address mapping routine to identify “known pairs” of physical and network addresses for each device communicating via a port of the smart process control switch. Thus, even if a new hostile device is able to spoof a known physical address in an attempt to bypass locked ports, the smart process control switch can detect the hostile device by checking the network address of the hostile device against the expected network address for the “known pair.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2018Publication date: April 4, 2019Applicant: FISHER-ROSEMOUNT SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Alexandre Da Silva Peixoto, Paul Greuniesen, Neil J.

Publication number: 20180112280Abstract: This invention relates to polynucleotide sequences encoding a gene that can confer resistance to the plant pathogen Colletotrichum, which causes anthracnose stalk rot, leaf blight and top dieback in corn and other cereals. It further relates to plants and seeds of plants carrying chimeric genes comprising said polynucleotide sequences, which enhance or confer resistance to the plant pathogen Colletotrichum, and processes of making said plants and seeds. The invention further presents sequences that can be used as molecular markers that in turn can be used to identify the region of interest in corn lines resulting from new crosses and to quickly and efficiently introgress the gene from corn lines carrying said gene into other corn lines that do not carry said gene, in order to make them resistant to Colletotrichum and resistant to stalk rot.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2017Publication date: April 26, 2018Applicants: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC., E.

Publication number: 20120143640Abstract: is a technological solution that mixes administrative, computational and electronic engineering knowledge, and aims to modernize the whole apicultural production chain. The administrative part of the ensemble proposes the use of small electronic equipment for all the activities of the field and industrial jobs. The equipment is carried attached to the user's body, in such a manner that its presence influences the minimum possible in the user's quotidian activities, maximizing its ergonomics quality. The equipment can be activated without using hands. Still from an administrative point of view, logistic processes for transferring and storing items, coupled with a complex but intuitive system of classes and subclasses of codes, assessed and monitored by the electronic equipment, register everything, in an automatic and inductive manner, leading the user to an inevitable recording of all the details in its daily activities.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2008Publication date: June 7, 2012Applicants: FUNDACAO DE AMPARO A PESQUISA DO ESTADO DE MINAS GERAIS-FAPEMIG, UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE LAVRASInventors: Ricardo Alexandre Da Silva Shimabukuro Victorio, Gustavo Vilela Vargas, Fernando Augusto Chufi, Thiago Yoshihiro Ito Takahashi, Fábio San Juan, Caluã de Lacerda Pataca, José Luis Ponciano Bomfim, Adriana Ramos, Guilherme de Oliveira Feliciano, Maria Cristina Marcucci Ribeiro
