Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of recombinant fatty acid synthesis, particularly in transgenic plants. The application describes genes involved in fatty acid synthesis and provides methods and vectors for the manipulation of fatty acid composition of plant oils. In particular, the invention provides constructs for achieving the integration of multiple heterologous genes involved in fatty acid synthesis into the plant genome, such that the resulting plants produce altered levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Also described are methods for enhancing the expression of fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes by co-expressing a silencing suppressor within the plant storage organ.

Abstract: A damper assembly includes a frame having an inner surface and a protrusion extending inwardly relative to the inner surface, a damper blade coupled to the frame and configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, and a latch coupled to the inner surface of the frame. The latch is configured to deform to facilitate transition of the damper blade between the open position and the closed position and to expand to capture and retain the damper blade in the closed position, the latch includes a tab segment configured to move toward the protrusion during deformation of the latch and to move away from the protrusion during expansion of the latch, and a distal end of the tab segment overlaps with a thickness of the protrusion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and means for producing nitrogenase polypeptides in the mitochondria of plant cells.

Abstract: A deodorizer for insertion into athletic and other equipment, having an outer housing that is infused with an antimicrobial agent and that has ventilation holes, and containing a moisture absorbing deodorizer within the outer housing. The deodorizer absorbs moisture that allows bacteria to grow and the antimicrobial infused outer housing kills existing bacteria, thereby reducing bacteria and odor.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and systems for roll angle estimation for an input/gesture device (IGD) are disclosed. The method includes estimating a first axis vector of the input/gesture device (IGD) relative to the surface of the mobile device (MD), as a first frame of reference, using readings from a first type of sensor; and estimating the first axis vector of the IDG relative to a different, second frame of reference using a gyroscope integration of readings from the 3-axis gyroscope. The method further includes aligning the first axis vector of the IDG in the first frame of reference with the first axis vector of the IDG in the second frame of reference; minimizing a change in the alignment of the first axis vectors between the first frame of reference and the second frame of reference; and determining the roll angle of the IDG relative to the surface of the MD.

Abstract: A method for authenticating the identity of a user who is attempting to access a website or conduct a transaction is described. The method involves receiving two geographical locations, and associated time stamps, of a mobile phone associated with the user, one of the locations being the location of the transaction or access attempt. The method determines whether the speed required to travel between the two geographical locations in the elapsed time is within acceptable limits. A confidence score, derived in part from this calculation, is taken into account when deciding whether to allow or deny the access or the transaction.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and means for producing nitrogenase polypeptides in the mitochondria of plant cells. The present disclosure provides plant cells that express one or more MTP-Nif fusions and/or translational NifD-NifK and NifE-NifN fusions.

The system further includes a first fibre optic sensor for sensing a strain or temperature of the first bearing, a second fibre optic sensor for sensing a strain or temperature of the second bearing, and an interrogator to analyse optical signals from the sensors to determine differences in the strains or temperatures of the first bearing and the second bearing.

Abstract: A computer system may receive a request that includes a requested weight quantity of an item and identifies the item. The computer system may use this information to lookup correlating information for the item. The correlating information may correlate item weight with item quantity. The computer system may use the correlating information and the weight quantity to determine a corresponding numerical quantity of the item. A visual indicator that represents the numerical quantity of the item may be presented in a user interface to provide context for how the requested weight quantity translates to the numerical quantity.

The system also includes a keyboard. When secured in the keyboard recess, the keyboard is positioned parallel to the bottom plane of the tray subsystem. When positioned in the monitor recess, the monitor is canted at an angle relative to the bottom plane of the tray subsystem. The angle is selected to minimize the overall height of the KMM system while maximizing user ergonomics.
