  • PLANT PROMOTER FOR TRANSGENE EXPRESSION
    Publication number: 20220098606
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns compositions and methods for promoting transcription of a nucleotide sequence in a plant or plant cell, employing a promoter from a Glycine max egg cell gene. Some embodiments relate to a promoter or a 5? UTR from a Glycine max egg cell gene that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences. Other embodiments relate to a 3? UTR or a terminator from a Glycine max egg cell gene that functions in plants to promote transcription of operably linked nucleotide sequences.

  • Metal-to-metal annulus wellhead style seal with pressure energized from above and below
    Patent number: 10947804
    Abstract: A system is disclosed as including a seal for sealing an area between a hanger and a housing of a wellhead. The seal is provided with at least a notch that defines at least a movable portion such as a wing or a lip. An e-ring is provided for a first energizing of the seal. The movable portion enables pressurized fluid from beneath the seal to cause the movable portion to protrude further against a mating side in the wellhead and the hanger for a second energizing of the seal. This type of seal maintains or improves the sealing of the wellhead in high pressure applications. Methods applied to the above seal are also disclosed.
