Abstract: An apparatus for disinfecting an object is disclosed herein. The apparatus includes an enclosure having an interior, an entrance, an exit, and a path through the interior from the entrance to the exit along which the object travels. The object moves along the path from the entrance to the exit without support from a moving conveyance. The apparatus also includes a light source that is positioned within the interior and configured to emit ultraviolet light such that every exterior surface of object is exposed to the ultraviolet light as the object traverses the interior.

Abstract: This document discloses a novel class of compounds for inhibiting bacterial growth and treating bacterial infection. The compounds target a key step of the futalosine pathway and therefore are effective for the selective inhibition of certain bacterial species and genera with reduced side effect in comparison with conventional antibiotics.

Abstract: A row unit for a seeding machine includes a ground view sensor coupled to the frame. The ground view sensor is operable to sense the furrow and generate depth signals corresponding to actual sensed depth of the furrow. The row unit also includes a controller configured to receive the signals, and a downforce adjustment mechanism coupled to the frame and to the controller. The controller is configured to activate the downforce adjustment mechanism to adjust a downforce on the frame based on the signals received by the controller.
