Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Echeveria plant named ‘OVPEARLS09’ which is characterized by a flattened profile with foliage that is loosely held in a basal rosette, narrowly obovate to broad spathulate foliage with a conspicuous globular growth on the abaxial surface, glaucous foliage that is covered with a layer of greyed-green epicuticular wax which gives the foliage a pale greyed-green appearance, juvenile foliage that is lightly suffused with greyed-purple along the distal portion of the margins and apex, and lightly undulated foliar margins. The new variety has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.

Abstract: A method for determining a quality rating data (QRD) of a medical data acquisition system (MDAS) includes receiving first data which includes utilization errors by an MDAS that occurred while performing a data acquisition procedure (DAP), by a data acquisition component of the MDAS, to acquire medical data. The method also includes generating second data as a function of the first data, the second data being indicative of categories of the utilization errors, wherein at least one utilization error is assigned to a corresponding category based on a predetermined parameter. The method further includes determining the quality rating data as a function of a total number of MDAS utilizations, a corresponding coefficient for the corresponding utilization error category and a number of utilization errors in the corresponding error category.

Abstract: An inkjet printing system and method for processing wafers in a high volume are disclosed. The inkjet printing system includes a chuck on which a wafer can be placed and an inkjet printing head with at least one nozzle. Each chuck is associated with a single camera. Each chuck includes a 2-dimensional visual reference. An electronic controller assembly is configured to take a single image containing the wafer edge and the 2-dimensional visual reference each instance a wafer has been placed on a chuck. For each image, the position of the chuck relative to the camera and the position of the wafer relative to the camera are determined. Subsequently, the wafer position relative to the chuck is calculated and based on that the firing of the at least one nozzle is timed and the movement of the printing motion assembly is controlled so that the liquid drops are accurately positioned on the wafer.

Abstract: Inkjet printing system for processing substrates including a chuck for placement of a substrate and an inkjet printing head with at least one nozzle. Each chuck has chuck reference marks, each of which is associated with an associated camera. An electronic controller assembly is configured to take a set of images each instance a substrate having substrate reference marks has been placed on a chuck, with each image containing a chuck reference mark and a substrate reference mark. For each image, the position of the chuck relative to the camera and the position of the substrate relative to the camera is determined. Subsequently, the substrate position relative to the chuck is calculated and based thereon the firing of the at least one nozzle is timed and the movement of the printing motion assembly is controlled so that the liquid drops are accurately positioned on the substrate.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Crassula plant named ‘OVWOODS01’ which is characterized by the combination of a broad spreading to upright and freely-branching growth habit, glaucous variegated stems, an abundance of glaucous variegated foliage which is narrowly margined dark red, and the stability of all characteristics from generation to generation.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Echeveria plant named ‘OVPEARLSO8’ which is characterized by a flattened profile with relatively narrow foliage that is somewhat loosely held in a basal rosette, green and moderately glossy foliage which is narrowly margined dark greyed-purple and becoming more broadly margined at the apex, light suffusion of greyed-purple across most of the abaxial foliar surface, and involute foliar margins at and near the apex. The new variety has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.
