Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Cornus plant named ‘JN13’, characterized by its upright and outwardly spreading plant habit; vigorous growth habit; developing leaves that are dark red in color becoming green with development; and single-type flowers that are red purple in color.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Cercis plant named ‘JN16’, characterized by its compact plant habit with relatively short internodes; deep purple-colored leaves; good garden performance with good leaf color retention during the summer.

Abstract: An Eastern Redbud tree named ‘JN3’ having golden orange new growth and specked lime green mature foliage with a wavy, rugose dark green margin and also capable of being reproduced reliably from chip budding.

Abstract: A Japanese Maple named ‘JN4’ having persistent red-purple foliage and an early weeping habit, and also capable of being reliably asexually reproduced from chip budding.

Abstract: An Eastern Redbud tree named ‘JN2’ having golden orange new growth that does not burn, speckled lime green mature foliage, an improved vigor in heat and drought, and the capability of being reproduced reliably from budding.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for separating interconnects between, for example, a card and a substrate. The apparatus includes one or more rotationally biased (e.g., spring-loaded, etc.) partial-circle structures (e.g., blades, squeegee, plow, etc.) and one or more temperature-sensitive releases connected to the partial-circle structures. The partial-circle structures are positioned to rotate and separate the interconnects when released by the temperature-sensitive releases. The invention can also include solder reservoirs positioned to receive solder from the interconnects separated by the partial-circle structures.
