Abstract: Moldable material comprising at least 5% by weight of polymeric regrind material recovered from Automotive Shredder Residue (ASR) and method of manufacturing the same are provided. The method comprises the steps of providing a polymer material sorted from ASR; grinding the polymer material sorted from ASR to form a regrind material; depositing the regrind material into a liquid solution having a specific gravity and performing a liquid density separation; removing a plurality of pieces of regrind material having a specific gravity of less than the liquid solution specific gravity from a surface of the liquid; conditioning the removed pieces of regrind material; blending the respective pieces of regrind material with a primary polymer to create a polymeric blend; compounding the polymeric blend via the addition of at least one additive thereby creating a plastics compound; and supplying the resultant plastics compound to an extrusion machine to produce the moldable material.

Abstract: The present application relates an insect resistant transgenic cotton plant. In particular, it relates to a specific event, designated CE43-67B.

Abstract: Font smoothing technology is employed to enhance the readability of rendered text. Various font smoothing approaches can be used by an application to optimize the readability of text to be rendered.

Abstract: Relative attributes of floating objects are disclosed. A user may obtain a floating object and specify that an attribute of the floating object is relative to a layout object of a page. In one aspect, the magnitude of relativity is determined, and the attribute of the floating object is maintained in accordance with the magnitude of relativity. In this manner, a page remains dynamically robust during page formatting operations and/or changes in page layout.

Abstract: An improved reading mode for electronic documents is provided. An electronic document is displayed in one or more discrete pages to provide a “look and feel” of reading a physical book or other document. Page turning controls are provided on each displayed page for turning a single page or for rapidly turning numerous pages. A page may be pinned so that the pinned page remains displayed while an adjacently displayed page is turned. Reading pointer controls and reading underlines may be deployed adjacent to and under selected text, respectively, for providing helpful reading reference points. Bookmarks may be deployed adjacent to text or images of interest in one or more pages of a displayed electronic document.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of primers in polymerase chain reaction assays for the detection of fungal pathogens Colletotrichum acutatum, Alternaria spp., and Cladosporium carpophilum. Specific primers are identified as being useful for the identification of fungal isolates using PCR based techniques. Also described are novel extraction buffer solutions for use in isolating DNA from an organism, methods of extracting DNA from tissue, and methods of performing PCR analysis on DNA extracted from tissue.

Abstract: Primers specific for races of pathogenic fungi which are resistant to certain fungicides are used in polymerase chain reaction assays for the detection of fungal pathogens. The use of these primers enables the detection of specific isolates of fungal pathogens and the monitoring of disease development in plant populations. The invention includes DNA sequences which show variability between different fungal pathotypes. Such DNA sequences are useful in the method of the invention as they can be used to derive primers for use in polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based diagnostic assays. These primers generate unique fragments in PCR reactions in which the DNA template is provided by specific fungal pathotypes and can thus be used to identify the presence or absence of specific pathotypes in host plant material before the onset of disease symptoms.
