  • Patent number: 11089068
    Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for registering a user to a cloud-based application, for enabling user access to a cloud-based application. It may comprise receiving a registration request for user access to the cloud-based application, the registration request comprising an identifier associated with a telephone apparatus. The method may further comprise initiating a communication to the telephone apparatus using the identifier, and detecting receipt of the communication at the telephone apparatus to establish a telephony connection. The method may further comprise, subsequent to detecting receipt of the communication to establish a telephony connection, registering the user to the cloud-based application for enabling subsequent access.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6197518
    Abstract: The chromosomal location of Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistance genes in wheat and the discovery of molecular markers for detecting the presence of these genes is herein described. The markers are generated via PCR or similar amplification reaction using primers identified herein. As a result, seed material can be assayed, thereby eliminating the time and cost involved in assaying adult plants for FHB resistance. Furthermore, the markers allow for gene pyramiding of the multiple, independent resistance genes into complex genetic backgrounds. In addition, the markers can be assayed in parallel. Finally, the markers are cost effective, highly reliable and accurate, and require just a few hours for testing.
