Abstract: A process for preparing a micronutrient-enriched phosphate-based fertilizer is disclosed. An aqueous fertilizer mixture comprising phosphoric acid and/or phosphate rock is prepared and optionally granulated in granulator unit. The pH of the fertilizer mixture is measured and controlled such that the pH is maintained within a predefined range.

Abstract: This invention relates to a tomato fruit with significantly increased firmness due to the presence of at least one genetic element (or quantitative trait loci; QTLs) in the cultivated plant producing said tomato fruit, compared to fruit from a control tomato plant which does not have said genetic element(s). A cultivated tomato plant producing tomato fruit with significantly increased fruit firmness and a method for detecting QTLs linked to significantly increased fruit firmness are also provided.

Abstract: Scan printing systems and methods for reducing banding artifacts of an image printed on a substrate, including a substrate feeder assembly, a printhead adapted to print an encoder pattern on the substrate, a sensor, and a controller. The controller performs a feedback cycle of positioning the substrate relative to the printhead and instructs the printhead to print a band of the image when the encoder pattern has reached a target position. The controller repeats the feedback cycle of positioning the substrate relative to the printhead and instructs the printhead to print a subsequent band of the image until the entire image is printed on the substrate.

Abstract: A handle for a shaving razor in which the handle comprises a frame and a movable member assembly operably coupled to the frame such that the frame is disposed between the movable member assembly and where the movable member assembly upper and lower portions are configured to move both above and below the frame. The movement can be linear or rotational. The movable member assembly comprises one or more springs.

Abstract: A handle. The handle can have a main body and a first substantially flat arm having a first distal end and a first proximal end defining a first arm opening can be coupled to a first location of the main body. A second substantially flat arm having a second distal end and a second proximal end defining a second arm opening, can be coupled to a second location of the main body. The first and second distal ends can be in spaced relationship and have pivotally coupled therebetween a pivoting head having a trapezoidal prism shape.

Abstract: A handle. The handle can include a main body weighing greater than about 60 grams, the main body comprising a main frame and a secondary frame overlying the main frame.
