Abstract: A rice cultivar designated FRC-23 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of rice cultivar FRC-23, to the plants of rice FRC-23, and to methods for producing a rice plant by crossing cultivar FRC-23 with itself or another rice variety. The invention further relates to methods for producing a rice plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic plants produced by those methods. This invention also relates to rice cultivars derived from rice cultivar FRC-23, to methods for producing other rice cultivars derived from rice cultivar FRC-23, and to the rice plants derived from the use of those methods.

Abstract: A high speed radio frequency signal interconnect device provides for signal communication within a system at cryogenic temperatures. The device includes a plurality of conductive traces provided on a first dielectric substrate where the ends of the traces have a predetermined shape. A second dielectric substrate covers the first dielectric substrate leaving the ends of the traces exposed. A connector is coupled to each respective end and includes pins coupled to a respective trace. Each connector is configured to define a respective isolating chamber about each of the first ends of the conductive traces where the pins are attached.

Abstract: A rice cultivar designated FRC-22 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of rice cultivar FRC-22, to the plants of rice FRC-22 and to methods for producing a rice plant produced by crossing the cultivar FRC-22 with itself or another rice variety. The invention further relates to hybrid rice seeds and plants produced by crossing the cultivar FRC-22 with another rice cultivar. The invention further relates to methods for producing a rice 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 rice cultivars derived from rice cultivar FRC-22.

Abstract: A combined scanning and staring (SCARING) focal plane array (FPA) imaging system having a plurality of modes of operation is provided. In one example, the SCARING FPA system includes a photodetector array with a plurality of photodetectors arranged in a plurality of photodetector rows, a readout integrated circuit (ROIC) coupled to the photodetector array, and a processor coupled to the ROIC. The processor coupled to the ROIC is configured to dynamically configure the SCARING FPA between a scanning mode of operation and a staring mode of operation.

Abstract: The invention relates to sterile pharmaceutical compositions for parenteral administration which comprise an oil-in-water emulsion in which a free radical scavenging sedative agent dissolved in an omega-3 rich water-immiscible solvent, is emulsified with water and stabilised by means for a surfactant, the composition being suitable either directly or after dilution with a liquid diluent for parenteral administration to a warm-blooded animal; in particular to such compositions comprising propofol, and which optionally further comprise a metal ion chelating agent (such as edetate), and the use of such compositions in improving survival in critically ill patients.
