  • Grapevine leafroll virus proteins and their uses
    Patent number: 6558953
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an isolated protein or polypeptide corresponding to a coat protein or polypeptide of a grapevine leafroll virus. The encoding DNA molecule either alone in isolated form or in an expression system, a host cell, or a transgenic grape plant is also disclosed. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a method of imparting grapevine leafroll resistance to grape plants by transforming them with the DNA molecule of the present invention. A method for imparting tristeza virus resistance in citrus plants using the DNA molecule of the present invention is also disclosed.

  • Method of constructing progressive mesh
    Publication number: 20020130867
    Abstract: A method of constructing a progressive mesh using a forest clustering algorithm and all types of error evaluation, for maintaining a quality with a height similar to an original mesh. The method is capable of reducing any number of vertices or triangles in a single step so as to produce a progressive mesh that enables a smooth and fast change of the resolution. The mesh is applicable to both network transmission and real-time rendering.

  • Fuzzy inference system for simplifying mesh
    Publication number: 20020042783
    Abstract: A method of operating a fuzzy inference system to simplify a mesh capable of producing a high-quality approximate mesh and retaining good characteristics and appearance so that a good visual effect emerges. The invention utilizes a fuzzy inference system to integrate mesh attributes and estimate the cost in removing certain data, which serve as a criteria for mesh simplification. Hence, the invention is suitable for progressive meshes, multiresolution modeling rendering and progressive transmission on a network.

  • Grapevine leafroll virus (type 2) proteins and their uses
    Patent number: 6197948
    Abstract: The present invention relates to isolated proteins or polypeptides of grapevine leafroll virus (type 2). The encoding DNA molecules either alone in isolated form or in an expression system, a host cell, or a transgenic grape plant are also disclosed. Other aspects of the present invention relates to a method of imparting grapevine leafroll resistance to grape and tobacco plants by transforming them with the DNA molecules of the present invention, a method of imparting beet yellows virus resistance to a beet plant, a method of imparting tristeza virus resistance to a citrus plant, and a method of detecting the presence of a grapevine leafroll virus, such as GRLaV-2, in a sample.
