  • Patent number: 10537075
    Abstract: An inbred corn line, designated DES07, the plants and seeds of the inbred corn line DES07, methods for producing a corn plant, either inbred or hybrid, produced by crossing the inbred corn line DES07 with itself or with another corn plant, and hybrid corn seeds and plants produced by crossing the inbred line DES07 with another corn line or plant and to methods for producing a corn plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic corn plants produced by that method. This invention also relates to inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line DES07, to methods for producing other inbred corn lines derived from inbred corn line DES07 and to the inbred corn lines derived by the use of those methods.

  • Patent number: 7779404
    Abstract: Configuration versioning and partitioning are provided as methods for managing large configuration for a network element such as a router or switch. In one aspect, a method performed in a network element, the network element comprising a plurality of software components that control operations and features of the network element, wherein operations and features of the network element are defined in part by a configuration, comprises creating and storing one or more configuration partition namespaces each comprising a version identifier and one or more configuration tuples; associating one or more of the configuration partition namespaces in a configuration partition; associating one of the software components and the one or more configuration partition namespaces; and creating and storing information identifying one of the software components, its associated configuration partition namespaces, and the version identifier of each of the configuration partition namespaces.
