Abstract: Provided, in one aspect, is a groove measurement system. The groove measurement system, according to this aspect, includes a go measurement apparatus, the go measurement apparatus having first and second go gages protruding from one or more surfaces thereof, the first go gage having a go width (WG) generally equal to a minimum desirable groove width (WMI) of a desired groove, and the second go gage having a go depth (DG) generally equal to the minimum desirable groove depth (DMI). The groove measurement system, according to this aspect, additionally include a no-go measurement apparatus, the no-go measurement apparatus having first and second no-go gages protruding from one or more surfaces thereof, the first no-go gage having a no-go width (WNG) greater than the maximum desirable groove width (WMA), and the second no-go gage having a no-go depth (DNG) generally equal to the maximum desirable groove depth (DMA).

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Forty-five’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing naturally large, broad ellipsoidal, completely black seedless berries which are firm in texture and ripen early in the growing season. Fruits normally ripen in late July to early August near Delano, Calif.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Forty-four’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing small naturally seedless reddish black berries having an ellipsoid shape with a Concord like labrusca flavor. Fruits normally ripen early-season, about mid to late July near Delano Calif. Fruits are fairly low in acidity, with a soft to slightly firm texture. Berries color readily even in hot climatic conditions and produce completely colored dark reddish black berries. Vines are very productive and can be pruned to short spurs.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for modeling and analyzing utility structures according to applied loads. Particularly, a model engine can utilize inputs related to a utility structure, environmental conditions to which the utility structure is subjected, and engineering standards expected of the utility structure, and analyze the structure's loading and performance based on analysis configuration inputs. An engine or multiple engines can be run locally, or can be instantiated in a cloud to assist with multiple or complex calculations. Hybrid and geometric non-linear analyses and outputs can be performed or provided.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Thirty-nine’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing medium size narrow finger shaped yellow-green berries having medium firm texture with a muscat flavor and which ripen in mid-season. Berries are borne on medium size clusters which are naturally loose and do not require gibberellin applications to thin clusters.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Thirty-eight’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing medium size round white berries having crisp texture with a very strong muscat flavor and which ripens in midseason. Berries are borne on medium size clusters which are compact.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Forty’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing naturally large seedless black berries having an elliptic shape with a mild labrusca flavor. Fruits are medium in acidity, with a firm texture and have excellent eating quality.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Twenty-five’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing small to medium size elliptic full black berries having medium firm texture with a neutral flavor and which ripen in early season. Berries are borne on medium size clusters which are slightly compact and may require gibberellin applications to thin clusters and size berries.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Forty-three’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing medium size obtuse ovate shaped berries having medium firm texture, and which ripen very early in the season. Berries resist flesh browning and bruising. Berries are borne on medium size clusters which are naturally loose and do not require gibberellin applications to thin clusters.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Forty-two’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing naturally large size narrow ellipsoid seedless green berries having an extremely crisp texture, thin skin and which ripen in mid-season. Berries are borne on medium size clusters which are naturally loose and do not require gibberellin to thin.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Forty-one’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing small naturally seedless red berries having a broad ellipsoid shape with a unique combination of muscat and labrusca flavor. The strong fruity flavor is reminiscent of strawberries. Fruits normally ripen mid-season.

Abstract: This invention is a new and distinct sweet cherry tree denominated ‘IFG Cher-nine’. The new sweet cherry tree is characterized by producing early ripening medium size dark red fruits having a reniform shape. Fruits ripen early and are very firm, with medium acid fruit with a good cherry flavor. Fruits are tolerant of rain induced cracking. The tree has a low chilling requirement of about 300 to 400 hours. It produces few doubled and spurred fruits.
