    Abstract: The invention provides novel methods to genotype haploid embryos using molecular assays. For example, quantitative methods for genotyping are provided. The methods provided also include providing a plurality of haploid kernels, determining the genotype of the haploid embryo of said kernels by distinguishing its genotype from the endosperm genotype, selecting a kernel having a desired genotype and producing doubled haploid plant from the selected kernel.

  • Publication number: 20230188485
    Abstract: A method and system for providing interoperability for Rich Communications Suite/Systems (RCS) messaging with RCS information sharing using plural channels. If a target network device includes RCS functionality then RCS sharing (i.e., sharing a RCS message with plural other target network devices) is done directly on a RCS channel (e.g., a primary channel) with other target network devices. If a target devices does not include RCS functionality, RCS functionality is provided via a secondary channel (e.g., a non-RCS channel, etc.) by an RCS interoperability application on a server network device to provide a RCS-emulated experience for RCS sharing for the other target network devices.

  • Patent number: 11558320
    Abstract: A method and system for providing interoperability for Rich Communications Suite/Systems (RCS) messaging with local and remote applications. If a target network device cannot directly receive RCS messages, electronic messages are modified on an RCS message application to include different types of electronic links to remote or local RCS interoperability applications. The local or remote RCS interoperability applications independently provides seamless, rich multi-media RCS functionality to the target network device when the electronic link is activated in the modified electronic message. The local or remote RCS interoperability applications provide two-way RCS message communications between target network devices without RCS functionality and target network devices with RCS functionality.

  • Publication number: 20220286281
    Abstract: A system for generating cryptographic values. The system includes an imaging assembly for imaging a target member mounted on a base. A controller receives output image data from the image assembly and generates a cryptographic value in response to the output image data. In some embodiments, the target member may be formed from an organic material.
