Patent number: 11951138Abstract: A method of mimicking a phenotype of a first ruminating animal in a second ruminating animal is disclosed. The method comprises administering to the second ruminating animal a microbial composition comprising a plurality of microbes having a signature which is statistically significantly similar to the microbial signature of a rumen microbiome of the first ruminating animal, wherein the first and the second ruminating animal are of identical species, thereby mimicking the phenotype of the first ruminating animal in the second ruminating animal.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2014Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: The State of Israel, Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development, Agricultural Research Organization (ARO) (Volcani Center)Inventors: Itzhak Mizrahi, Elie Jami

Patent number: 7063262Abstract: A method (300, 400) to provide for provisioning and a product. In one embodiment a processor (210) receives a pre-configured data image and writes it to a first area (221) of non-volatile memory (220) using, for example a first writing mode. Thereafter, for example after a power cycle the processor (210) determines whether an update to a second area of the non-volatile memory is required, and if so converts a first data item from the first area into a second data item uniquely associated with the product unit and writes the second data item in a second area (222) using a second writing mode.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2003Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Kent D.
