Patent number: 9884896Abstract: This invention relates to polynucleotide sequences encoding a gene that can confer resistance to the plant pathogen Colletotrichum, which causes anthracnose stalk rot, leaf blight and top dieback in corn and other cereals. It further relates to plants and seeds of plants carrying chimeric genes comprising said polynucleotide sequences, which enhance or confer resistance to the plant pathogen Colletotrichum, and processes of making said plants and seeds. The invention further presents sequences that can be used as molecular markers that in turn can be used to identify the region of interest in corn lines resulting from new crosses and to quickly and efficiently introgress the gene from corn lines carrying said gene into other corn lines that do not carry said gene, in order to make them resistant to Colletotrichum and resistant to stalk rot.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2014Date of Patent: February 6, 2018Assignees: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC., E. I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY, UNIVERSITY OF DELAWAREInventors: Karen E. Broglie, Karlene H. Butler, Marymar G. Butruille, Alexandre Da Silva Conceicao, Travis James Frey, James A. Hawk, Jennifer S. Jaqueth, Elizabeth S. Jones, Dilbag S. Multani, Petra Johanna Cecilia Christina Wolters

Patent number: 5877008Abstract: An electromechanical device for driving the tip of a microinjection cannula, or needle, through the outer barrier of a blastocyst, cell, or cell nucleus for the injection of cells or other bioactive materials. Either a flexible frame or a ram moving within a base member is employed. Cannula motion is achieved by means of a piezoelectric stack and spring return system. The thrust motion over a predetermined microscopic distance is achieved without cannula setback prior to the thrust movement. Instead of specially prepared beveled and tipped needles, standard unimproved cannulas or needles can be used.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 1997Date of Patent: March 2, 1999Assignee: Lockheed Martin Energy Research CorporationInventors: Carl J. Remenyik, Richard P. Woychik, David R. Patek, James A. Hawk, John C. Turner

Patent number: 5435972Abstract: A control loop and fluidization quality analyzer for a fluidized bed utilizes time varying pressure drop measurements. A fast-response pressure transducer measures the overall bed pressure drop, or over some segment of the bed, and the pressure drop signal is processed to produce an output voltage which changes with the degree of fluidization turbulence.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1993Date of Patent: July 25, 1995Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the United States Department of EnergyInventors: C. Stuart Daw, James A. Hawk
