Abstract: The present invention provides for compositions and methods for producing crop plants that are resistant to herbicides. In particular, the present invention provides for wheat plants, plant tissues and plant seeds that contain altered acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) genes and proteins that are resistant to inhibition by herbicides that normally inhibit the activity of the ACCase protein.

Abstract: A system is disclosed. The system has a client device, an interactive response system, and an Internet Protocol (IP) network enabling IP communication between the client device and the interactive response system. The client device may be configured to place a call to the interactive response system via the IP network, to establish an IP telephonic communication session between the client device and the interactive response system, and to display textual content received from the interactive response system during the IP telephonic communication session. The interactive response system is configured to receive the call from the IP network, to establish the IP telephonic communication session between the client device and the interactive response system, to transmit textual content to the client device during the IP telephonic communication session.

Abstract: Audio apparatus comprises a base unit including circuitry for generating electrical signals representing sounds and at least one earphone adapted to receive the electrical signals and to reproduce sounds represented by the signals, in which the apparatus is provided externally with a terminal arranged so that it can be positioned in use in contact with or in close proximity to the surface of the user's body. The circuitry is arranged to supply to the terminal signals which are transmitted through the user's body, the or each earphone is provided with a terminal arranged so that it can be positioned in use in contact with or in close proximity to the surface of the user's body so as to receive signals transmitted from the terminal through the user's body, and the or each earphone includes receiving circuitry arranged to receive the signals. The earphones may be embodied in a pair of spectacles, and may be adjustable between a first position behind the ear and a second position in or more adjacent the ear.
