Abstract: An integrated circuit comprises first and second interfaces, an internal addressable space comprising a plurality of address ranges, and a control unit. Each of the first and second interfaces is coupled to the internal addressable space via the control unit. The control unit is configurable in a first state in which the control unit is configured to allow or deny the second interface access to a subset of the plurality of address ranges of the internal addressable space.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC), comprising: a first input pin for receiving a first input signal; a first converter configured to convert the first input signal to a first output signal; a first gain stage configured to apply a first gain to the first output signal; gain update circuitry configured to: output a first external gain control signal to a first output pin of the IC; and subsequently output a first internal gain control signal to the first gain stage to update the first gain of the first gain stage, wherein output of the first internal gain control signal is delayed relative to output of the first external gain control signal by a first predetermined delay, the first predetermined delay to compensate for signal chain delay between the first input pin and the first gain stage, wherein the gain update circuitry comprises level detection circuitry configured to determine a signal level of the first input signal or the first output signal.

Abstract: Computer-based platforms and interfaces for trading a commodity such as primary production commodities, including meat, leather, grains, fruit, vegetables, flowers, seeds, living plants and timber. In particular, a user interface provides for input and output of data or information via an electronic screen. The interface has a text-based chat function for communication between a buyer and a seller, an order function allowing the buyer to order a first product from the seller, and a hyperlinking function to transform a keyword related to the product input by the buyer in the course of using the text-based chat function into a hyperlink actuatable by the buyer. When the buyer actuates the hyperlink, the order function presents an input option for the buyer to add the first product to an order by way of the order function.

Abstract: The present invention provides a wheat plant comprising an Rht-B1 allele which encodes an Rht-B1 (DELLA) polypeptide. Grain from a near-isogenic wheat line comprising the dwarfing Rht-B1c allele was subjected to sodium azide mutagenesis. Plants exhibiting early leaf elongation rates or mature plant height greater than the dwarf parent were selected and the Rht-B1 gene sequenced. This identified 35 mutated alleles of Rht-B1c. Similar methods were also used to identify mutant alleles of the dwarfing sln1d allele in barley, where DELLA is encoded by the sln1 gene.

Abstract: Implementations disclosed describe techniques and systems to facilitate efficient operations of wireless networks organized in a topology of communicating nodes. Techniques include cascade synchronization of various nodes of the network by generating and maintaining a common time using times associated with ordered communications between nodes. The common time maintained by the network allows performance of synchronous action for precise industrial, medical, and testing applications. The described techniques and systems further include management of communication windows between different nodes in a way that facilitates fast and efficient propagation of data collected by the network from multiple source nodes to one or more destination nodes.

Abstract: A tread support device (10) for a retread process is provided that has a first support roller (12) that rotates about a first support roller axis. A second support roller (16) is present that rotates about a second support roller axis. A third support roller (20) is also included that rotates about a third support roller axis. The first support roller (10), the second support roller (12), and the third support roller (20) all support a tread (24). Also in the tread support device (10), the first support roller axis, the second support roller axis, and the third support roller axis are arranged with respect to one another so as to be located on a circumference of a circle (32).

Abstract: The present invention provides a wheat plant comprising an Rht-B1 allele which encodes an Rht-B1 (DELLA) poly-peptide. Grain from a near-isogenic wheat line comprising the dwarfing Rht-B1c allele was subjected to sodium azide mutagenesis. Plants exhibiting early leaf elongation rates or mature plant height greater than the dwarf parent were selected and the Rht-B1 gene sequenced. This identified 35 mutated alleles of Rht-B1c. Similar methods were also used to identify mutant alleles of the dwarfing s1n1d allele in barley, where DELLA is encoded by the s1n1 gene.
