  • Patent number: 11976287
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the field of recombinant fatty acid synthesis, particularly in transgenic plants. The application describes genes involved in fatty acid synthesis and provides methods and vectors for the manipulation of fatty acid composition of plant oils. In particular, the invention provides constructs for achieving the integration of multiple heterologous genes involved in fatty acid synthesis into the plant genome, such that the resulting plants produce altered levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Also described are methods for enhancing the expression of fatty acid biosynthesis enzymes by co-expressing a silencing suppressor within the plant storage organ.

  • Patent number: 9910655
    Abstract: A system and method may be used to manipulate secure content on a first computing device through the use of a software developer's kit. The method may include defining a secure container as a subset of a data store of the first computing device. First instructions of the software developer's kit may be executed to retrieve the secure content from a first content source of a plurality of content sources managed by a plurality of different entities. The secure content may be stored in the secure container. At an input device, user input may be received to initiate manipulation of the secure content in a manner that avoids storage of any of the secure content on a portion of the data store outside the secure container.

  • Patent number: 9099284
    Abstract: A reactive correction to chamber impedance changes without the need to change the process recipe is disclosed. The reactive correction may be done automatically and repeatedly during processing. A control of RF power application to a plasma processing chamber is performed, so as to minimize reflected power and efficiently apply the RF power to the plasma. Autotuning of the RF power application is enabled without modifying a qualified process recipe. The autotuning can be applied using frequency matching and RF matching network tuning.

  • Publication number: 20110276608
    Abstract: Data is shared between multiple enterprise data sources and mobile clients in a distributed system such that requests from a mobile client for enterprise data are received, the appropriate enterprise data sources that contain the requested data are determined, and the enterprise data is retrieved from the determined enterprise data sources. When the enterprise data is retrieved, it is converted into a relational format that can relate the retrieved data, even if the data comes from multiple enterprise data sources. The converted enterprise data is stored in a relational data store in the mobile client. In this way, mobile applications can be fully integrated with data from multiple enterprise data sources and data updates and configuration changes can be distributed to and from the mobile clients in real-time, without using interim data storage, and thereby avoiding complicated synchronization and data conflict issues between the enterprise data sources and the mobile clients.

The method includes maintaining a pool of more than two other human users to be matched with the first human user. In a specific embodiment, the pool of other human users includes at least four or more, but can be others.

  • Publication number: 20050044165
    Abstract: Data is shared between multiple enterprise data sources and mobile clients in a distributed system such that requests from a mobile client for enterprise data are received, the appropriate enterprise data sources that contain the requested data are determined, and the enterprise data is retrieved from the determined enterprise data sources. Data maintained at a mobile client is shared with multiple enterprise data sources. The mobile clients send requests to an application server for synchronization of data records maintained at the mobile client with corresponding data records at the enterprise data sources. The client request includes metadata that identifies enterprise data sources for the requested data records and that specifies a relational correspondence between the requested data. The mobile client data records and the corresponding data records of the enterprise data sources are compared to identify any data conflicts between the two sets of data records. Any identified data conflicts are resolved.
