  • Publication number: 20110179525
    Abstract: Using the natural variation of sweet and grain sorghum to uncover genes that are conserved in rice, sorghum, and sugarcane, but differently expressed in sweet versus grain sorghum by using a microarray platform and the syntenous alignment of rice and sorghum genomic regions containing these genes. Indeed, enzymes involved in carbohydrate accumulation and those that reduce lignocellulose can be identified. Interestingly, C4 photosynthesis is enhanced as well. Furthermore, genetic analysis has shown that a specific microRNA is linked to flowering time and high sugar content in stems.

  • Patent number: 4796414
    Abstract: A grooved cylindrical core or rod is conveyed in a state of elastic elongation, giving it excess length, through a distributing device and a die-plate. Optical fibers are each fitted in a respective groove of the rod at the entry of the die-plate. Downstream from the die-plate, the rod provided with the fibers passes through a zone in which there is a powerful electric field created by a ionization bar. Under the influence of the ionization, the fibers cling to the walls or bottoms of the grooves. This provides the drag necessary for stretching the fibers when they approach the rod.

  • Patent number: 4772435
    Abstract: The optical fiber paid out from a reel passes through an extrusion head, then through a cooling vat, the sheath extruded around it being pulled by a withdrawal device. The sheath then passes through a second vat, when the stranding element is withdrawn by an auxiliary withdrawal device under as low a tension as possible. In the second vat, the stranding element is reduced to a temperature lower than the ambient temperature so that contraction of the sheath ensures the excess length of the optical fiber.

  • Patent number: 4429553
    Abstract: A cam-support carriage for a knitting machine comprises movable cams for controlling knitting needles. The cams are adapted to be put out of operation by an electro-magnetic positioning device. The electro-magnetic device comprises a permanent magnet having a low coercive field associated with a magnetization/demagnetization coil and a moving part of ferromagnetic metal, integral with the cam to be positioned. The coil is connected to an excitation and control circuit ensuring magnetization and demagnetization of the permanent magnet by a current pulse in the coil, in order respectively to attract and release said moving part and its integral cam in order to being the cam out of or into operation.
