Abstract: The present disclosure provides novel compositions and methods for collectively transforming or genetically modifying a population of distinct germplasm of different germplasms or having different genotypes. The compositions of the present disclosure may include a population of distinct germplasm, such as embryo explants, and a heterologous polynucleotide molecule, a ribonucleoprotein, or a site-specific nuclease. The methods of the present disclosure may include one or more steps of explant preparation, explant rehydration, Rhizobiales bacterium inoculation and co-culture or particle bombardment, bud induction, extended bud induction, and/or regeneration or development of genetically modified plants or plant parts. The methods provided herein may include transforming at least one plant cell of the embryo explants with a heterologous polynucleotide.

Abstract: Representative embodiments disclose mechanisms for dynamically adjusting the user interface and/or behavior of an application to accommodate continuous and unobtrusive learning. As a user gains proficiency in an application, the learning cues and other changes to the application can be reduced. As a user loses proficiency, the learning cues and other changes can be increased. User emotional state and openness to learning can also be used to increase and/or decrease learning cues and changes in real time. The system creates multiple learning models that account for user characteristics such as learning style, type of user, and so forth and uses collected data to find the best match. The selected learning model can be further customized to a single user. The model can also be tuned based on user interaction and other data. Collected data can also be used to adjust the base learning models.

Abstract: Method for retrieving product information over a communication network. A method for retrieving product information including at least product/service identification or description and related to a commercial event and associated with a remote location on a communications network. A receiver is operable to receive at a user location a broadcast including a data set associated with the product information. The data set is extract from a non-video portion of the broadcast in an extracting system. A connection device is provided to connect the user location to the remote location on the network in response to extracting the data set to enable retrieval of the product information from the remote location.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for hyperlinking to printable content related to program material during the playing of the program material and printing the printable content comprising a generator for generating an hyperlink address string associated with the program material including a first attribute indicating an hyperlink address for hyperlinking to the printable content and a second attribute indicating certain temporal behavior for hyperlinking to the printable content, an encoder for encoding the hyperlink address string for transmission via a program signal transmitter, the program signal transmitter for transmitting the hyperlink address string, a program signal receiver for receiving the hyperlink address string, a data processor for processing the hyperlink address string, a web browser for hyperlinking to the printable content during the playing of the program material and a printer for printing the printable content based on the certain temporal behavior for hyperlinking indicated in the second attribut

Abstract: An interactive broadcast or cable television or radio system, consisting of a television or radio tuner data receiver for receiving telephone number or electronic address data, a memory for storing the telephone number or electronic address data, a visual display for indicating the telephone number or electronic address data is stored, a pushbutton or other activation device for activating retrieval from memory of the stored telephone number or electronic address data and output of the retrieved telephone number or electronic address data to an autodialer or other transmission device to be transmitted to an external location, uses a memory having dual port memory functionality in order for simultaneous or substantially simultaneous retrieval of stored telephone number or electronic address data and storing of newly received telephone number or electronic address data.

Abstract: A system for accessing a remote processor on a network The system includes a data set relating to a commercial event, embedded in a broadcast. A receiving device responsive to a non-video portion of said broadcast is operable to detect the data set and extracting received data therefrom. A local processor, having an input for receiving the received data, a first memory for storing the received data and an output is operable for accessing a program stored in a second memory for processing the received data. A communication device is coupled to the output and responsive to the program and the received data for facilitating connection of the local processor with the remote processor via said network.
