Abstract: A photovoltaic (PV) system includes module-level power electronic (MLPE) devices that produce energy. The PV system includes a gateway to receive and send data to MLPE devices. The gateway also connects the PV system with a network, such as a local area network, that allows access to the Internet. The gateway provides functionality within the PV system to perform various processes to improve operation of MLPE devices.

Abstract: Updating firmware of a display device. The display device may include a display screen and a video interface for receiving video signals from a host system and providing the video signals for display on the display screen. The display device may include a memory that stores program instructions for controlling operation of the display device. The display device may include a serial bus interface (e.g., a USB interface), which may receive signals from a host computer for updating the program instructions in the memory. A serial bus to first protocol bridge may receive the serial bus signals from the serial bus interface and convert the serial bus signals to signals of the first protocol. A display controller may update the program instructions in the memory of the display in response to the signals of the first protocol.

Abstract: An inbred corn line, designated BE1146BMR, is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of inbred corn line BE1146BMR, to the plants of inbred corn line BE1146BMR and to methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, by crossing the inbred line BE1146BMR with itself or another corn line. The invention further relates to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by that method and to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from the inbred BE1146BMR.

Abstract: An inbred corn line, designated 3633BM, is disclosed.

Abstract: An automated fiber preparation system and method for automatically fabricating an optical fiber. One or more fabrication processes associated with fiber preparation may be performed on an optical fiber without requiring active user input. The fiber preparation system may be configured to automatically carry out each of the process steps for fabricating an optical fiber pigtail. The fiber preparation system may include a fiber preparation module that is configured to automatically prepare one or both ends of an optical fiber in anticipation of one or more subsequent manufacturing processes involving the fiber.

Abstract: ‘SunDak’ is a new cultivar of Syringa pekinensis, Pekin lilac tree. This new cultivar has a coppery-orange exfoliating bark pattern that separates into shaggy curls; large, abundantly produced creamy-white flower panicles; attractive seed capsules; upright broadly-oval to rounded form; typically grows multiple-trunked and with improved winter hardiness.

Abstract: ‘VerDale’ is a new cultivar of Betula platyphilla, Asian white birch. This new cultivar has white bark and dark green leaves in addition to being highly resistant to bronze birch borer (Agrilus anxius Gory).
