Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

Abstract: Methods for the high-throughput analysis of transgenic events are herein disclosed. The methods use libraries of sheared genomic DNA ligated to specialized adapters and pooled for sequence analysis and comparison to known genomic and insert sequence. The method finds use in detecting characterizing insertion site, transgene integrity, and transgene copy number.

Abstract: In one example, a vehicle seat assembly includes a flexible trim cover including an opening and a trim plate received in the opening of the trim cover. The trim plate includes an opening. The vehicle seat assembly includes a bezel received in the opening of the trim plate, and the bezel includes a trim and a housing. The trim surrounds the housing, and the housing of the bezel includes a channel that receives a top tether wire.

Abstract: A method, a false start detection system, and a false start detection sensor for determining whether an athlete has performed a false start in an event. Force data is received representing the force exerted by at least one upper appendage of the athlete on a surface when in a starting position (S701). The force data is processed to determine an athlete start time (S702), and the athlete start time is compared to an event start time to determine whether a false start has occurred (S703).

Abstract: A method and system for automatically assigning employees to work plurality of cash registers when the employees report for work is described. The system and method automatically compares the employee's qualifications to the current operational status of a plurality of cash registers and any parameters that may govern the operation of the cash registers such as age requirements for the sale of alcohol. The system automatically assigns an employee to a cash register and transmits real time operational status of those cash registers to a supervisor via a wireless device.
