  • Publication number: 20170283820
    Abstract: A genetically altered soybean plant, its parts (including seeds, cells, flowers, pollen), and its progeny produces at least one altered delta-twelve fatty acid desaturase 2 enzyme (FAD2), namely an altered FAD2-1A, an altered FAD2-1B, or both. This genetically altered soybean plant has reduced FAD2 enzymatic activity in its seeds, thereby producing higher amounts of oleic acid in its seeds than a wild-type soybean plant produces. Methods of generating this genetically altered soybean plant are provided.

  • Patent number: 5508680
    Abstract: A solderless solenoid assembly, preferably for use in an electrical signaling device. The solenoid assembly is formed by wrapping conductive wire around a bobbin, forming a solenoid coil. A plurality of terminal displacement slots are attached to the bobbin. The lead wires of the coil are terminated in the bobbin terminal displacement slots. Electrical connectors are placed in each of the terminal displacement slots. The entire solenoid assembly snaps into a solenoid coil support bracket. The solenoid coil support bracket is then secured to a base which is connected to an electrical signaling device.
