Abstract: The present invention concerns concatemer and/or stabilized RNA constructs capable of forming dsRNA, optionally comprising a sequence capable of protecting the dsRNA against RNA processing in a host cell. The invention also relates to methods of producing these constructs and to methods for using these constructs. The constructs according to the present invention are particularly useful in plant pest control.

Abstract: The present invention relates to genetic control of infestation by insect pest species, particularly prevention and/or control of pest infestation of plants, using interfering ribonucleic acid (RNA) molecules. The invention provides transgenic plants that (i) express or are capable of expressing interfering RNAs of the invention and (ii) are resistant to infestation by insect pest species.

Abstract: A method and electronic device for identifying when to replace/clean a probe card or socket are provided. The method includes receiving an ID of the probe card or socket from a tag associated with the probe card or socket before performing an insertion on a test system. For the received ID, there is determined a count of insertions performed on the probe card, and an indication to replace/clean the probe card or socket is generated when the count of insertions equals the threshold value.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods for controlling pest infestation using double stranded RNA molecules. The invention provides methods for making transgenic plants that express the double stranded RNA molecules, as well as pesticidal agents and commodity products produced by the inventive plants.

Abstract: A non-intrusive flow measurement and detection device is provided. The device includes a first transducer; a second transducer; and detection/reporting circuitry coupled to the first and second transducers. The non-intrusive flow measurement and detection device is mounted to a pipe or conduit with the first and second transducers in contact with an outer surface of the pipe or conduit. The first transducer detects and measures vibration in the pipe or conduit in response to gas or liquid flowing through the pipe or conduit. The second transducer detects and measures sound in the pipe or conduit in response to gas or liquid flowing through the pipe or conduit. The detection/reporting circuitry compares the measured flow and flow rate determined by the first and second transducers with established limits to determine if the flow and flow rate is within the established limits.

Abstract: The present invention relates in generally to RNAi and its use in gene silencing. In particular, the present invention relates to methods and constructs for delivering double stranded RNA (dsRNA) to pest organisms.

Abstract: The present invention concerns methods for controlling insect infestation via RNAi-mediated gene silencing, whereby the intact insect cell(s) are contacted with a double-stranded RNA from outside the insect cell(s) and whereby the double-stranded RNA is taken up by the intact insect cell(s). In one particular embodiment, the methods of the invention are used to alleviate plants from insect pests. Alternatively, the methods are used for treating and/or preventing insect infestation on a substrate or a subject in need of such treatment and/or prevention. Suitable insect target genes and fragments thereof, dsRNA constructs, recombinant constructs and compositions are disclosed.
