Abstract: The present invention relates to polynucleotides which confer or enhance resistance or tolerance to leaf rust and stripe rust disease onto wheat plants. The present invention further relates to methods of using the resistance-conferring polynucleotides for producing resistant or tolerant wheat plants and to heat plants so produced.

Abstract: A composition of matter comprising an agriculturally acceptable carrier and an endophyte which expresses polynucleotides having the sequences as set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 1-5 or an endophyte which expresses polynucleotides having the sequences as set forth in SEQ ID NOs: 6-10 is disclosed. Uses thereof are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods for enhancing growth in fungi and, more particularly, transgenic fungi expressing the Bcl-2 gene having improved biomass production, survival, longevity and stress resistance in solid and liquid culture are disclosed. Also disclosed are methods of using the transgenic fungi of the present invention for biocontrol.

Abstract: A system for providing presence status for a mobile device is provided. The system comprises a monitoring unit for monitoring changes in the presence status of the mobile device; and a transmitter for transmitting presence status data to a server system, in response to detecting a change in the presence status of the mobile device, wherein the presence status indicates whether the mobile device can engage in a data communication session, and wherein the server system notifies a second mobile device of the presence status of the mobile device, in real time.

Abstract: A watchdog device is refreshed using either a hardware strobe or a software output as the refresh strobe. The hardware strobe is selected when the software output is undesirable as the refresh strobe. Undesirability includes the inability of the software output to reliably refresh the watchdog device or an unknown ability of the software output to reliably refresh the watchdog device.

Abstract: An electronic module that has a card cage having slots for first and second common cards located at different ends of the card cage and a plurality of slots between the slots for the first and second common cards for receiving a plurality electronic circuit cards each providing a clock source within the card cage. The electronic module has a bus that connects the plurality of slots for receiving the plurality electronic circuit cards with the slots for the first and second common cards such that the bus provides a substantially equal distance to the slots for the first and second common cards from any of the plurality of slots for receiving the plurality electronic circuit cards.

Abstract: A method of transferring data from a host system to a target system includes creating a data record for transmitting data to the target in which the record includes a starting address for loading a sequence of data into a memory of the target system, one or more error detection codes, and an uninterrupted sequence of data for loading sequentially into the memory.

Abstract: Methods for monitoring a plurality of electronic circuit cards of an electronic system are provided. An embodiment of the method includes collecting a plurality of messages at one of the plurality of electronic circuit cards. The plurality of messages includes a message from one or more of the plurality of electronic circuit cards. Transmitting the plurality of messages from the one of the plurality of electronic circuit cards to a monitor located externally to the electronic system is also included in the method. The method further includes selectively filtering the plurality of messages at the monitor, whereby producing a plurality of filtered messages.
