  • Method for altering nitrogen or oil content of seeds by down regulating AGL11 expression or activity
    Patent number: 7179957
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the genetic manipulation of the expression of the AGL11 gene and homologs thereof in order to alter protein or oil levels in a seed of a crop plant. The downregulation of AGL11 is associated with an increase in protein concentration in the plant seed. Conversely, upregulating the AGL11 gene is associated with an increase in oil concentration in the plant seed.

  • Manipulation of graphic structures
    Patent number: 6025852
    Abstract: Manipulation of a graphic structure having a root, a joint and an end effector to a configuration positioning the structure's end effector at a goal position is aided by determining characteristic configurations for the structure having different distances between the root and the end effector. The characteristic configurations form the basis of a transition function mapping goal distances between the root and goal positions to intermediate configurations, with the intermediate configurations having end effector distances (between the root and end effector) equal to the corresponding goal distances. The intermediate configuration may be reoriented to a final configuration positioning the end effector at the goal position.

  • Manipulation of branching graphic structures using inverse kinematics
    Patent number: 5889528
    Abstract: A graphic structure having a root block with a root, and at least two branch blocks each with an end effector, is manipulated from an initial configuration towards a goal configuration. The manipulation derives, in a succession of iterations, an update configuration positioning the end effectors closer to corresponding goal positions than in a prior configuration, and in one iteration, derives an update configuration by reducing the effect of a root block on an end effector of a branch block.

  • Binary ferrihydrite catalysts
    Patent number: 5580839
    Abstract: A method of preparing a catalyst precursor comprises dissolving an iron salt and a salt of an oxoanion forming agent, in water so that a solution of the iron salt and oxoanion forming agent salt has a ratio of oxoanion/Fe of between 0.0001:1 to 0.5:1. Next is increasing the pH of the solution to 10 by adding a strong base followed by collecting of precipitate having a binary ferrihydrite structure. A binary ferrihydrite catalyst precursor is also prepared by dissolving an iron salt in water. The solution is brought to a pH of substantially 10 to obtain ferrihydrite precipitate. The precipitate is then filtered and washed with distilled water and subsequently admixed with a hydroxy carboxylic acid solution. The admixture is mixed/agitated and the binary ferrihydrite precipitate is then filtered and recovered.
