Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses disclosed herein standardize product views of product images in the product catalog such that these products are displayed with substantially similar products views with respect to one another in the product catalog to enhance the visual appearance, or photorealism, of the product catalog. As such, the products within the same category of products, for example, the screws and bolts as described above, are illustrated in the product catalog with similar product views, for example, similar orientations, similar scales, and/or similar angles, with respect to one another.

Abstract: A mapping system allows a user to interact with any location on a digital map and present the user with location related information associated with the selected location. The location related information may be in the form or a card, pop-up, image, or other graphic and may be displayed on the map at or near the selected location, around the map, etc. The displayed location related information may include predetermined or pre-stored data about the location or may include location related information collected and generated on the fly in response to the user interaction with the digital map. The displayed location related information may be displayed in the same graphical format on the digital map regardless of whether location related information is predetermined information about the location that already exists or information that is collected and generated on the fly in response to the user interaction.

Abstract: A sink splashguard is provided and can be mounted to a sink such that it protrudes a height above a counter surface. The sink splashguard protects the user of the sink from splashes. The height of the sink splashguard above the counter surface can be easily and quickly adjusted while the sink splashguard is in use. The sink splashguard include a base with one or more than one side, and an adjustable attachment holder coupled to the base. The adjustable attachment holder adjustably couples to a splash guard coupling device, which can be a suction cup to be used to couple the splash guard within a sink. A splash guard include a curve body portion that is semi-flexible with coupling devices coupled in fixed positions to the body portion. The body portion contours to an inner wall of a sink.

Abstract: A sink splashguard is disclosed. The sink splashguard can be mounted to a sink such that it protrudes a height H above a counter surface. The sink splashguard protects the user of the sink from splashes. The height H of the sink splashguard above the counter surface can be easily and quickly adjusted while the sink splashguard is in use. Embodiments of the sink splashguard include a base with one or more than one side, and an adjustable attachment holder coupled to the base. The adjustable attachment holder adjustably couples to a splash guard coupling device, which can be a suction cup to be used to couple the splash guard within a sink. Other embodiments of a splash guard include a curve body portion that is semi-flexible with coupling devices coupled in fixed positions to the body portion. The body portion contours to an inner wall of a sink.

Abstract: Methods for improving the efficiency of photosynthesis in plants exposed to suboptimal light conditions. Photosynthesis enhancement is achieved by transformation and expression of one or more exogenous chromophores in the chloroplast of plants or in the cytoplasm under the control of a transit peptide which directs it to the chloroplast or a compartment within the chloroplast. Preferred chromophores have excitation max in the green-yellow light spectrum. Chains of chromophores can be used to capture and emit light from one to the other until the emitted wave length is in the range that can be efficiently utilize by the native light harvest complex.

Abstract: A polypeptide having ?-glucosidase enzymatic activity, a polynucleotide encoding the polypeptide, a nucleic acid constructs carrying the polynucleotide, transformed or infected cells, such as yeast cells, and transgenic organisms expressing the polynucleotide and various uses of the polypeptide, the polynucleotide, cells and/or organisms, including, producing a recombinant polypeptide having the ?-glucosidase enzymatic activity, increasing the level of aroma compounds in alcoholic beverages, as well as other fermentation products of plant material, hydrolyzing cellobiose and thus increasing the level of fermentable glucose, increasing the production of alcohol, such as ethanol from plant material, increasing the aroma released from a plant or a plant product, and hydrolysis or transglycosylation of glycosides.

Abstract: A semi-aqueous ethylene-vinyl alcohol coating composition that is a stable, homogeneous solution which is capable of being easily applied to a substrate to form a multi-layer structure at room temperature, by spray, rod, gravure, or other mechanical means. Upon evaporation of the volatile components, this coating solution leaves a clear, homogeneous film comprising EVOH. The film resists degradation and discoloration during the lifetime of the structure, and upon incineration or recycling does not evolve harmful acids into the environment.
