Abstract: Compositions and methods related to transgenic AHAS-inhibiting herbicide resistant soybean plants are provided. Event 127 soybean plants having a mutated AHAS coding sequence which imparts tolerance to an AHAS-inhibiting herbicide are provided. The event 127 soybean plants having the event 127 nucleic acid molecule at the identified chromosomal location comprises genomic/transgene junctions having at least the nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:5 and/or 6. The characterization of the genomic insertion site of the event 127 provides for an enhanced breeding efficiency and enables the use of molecular markers to track the transgene insert in the breeding populations and progeny thereof. Various methods and compositions for the identification, detection, and use of the event 127 soybean plants are provided.

Abstract: A method to enhance the rainfastness of glyphosate by applying a composition comprising a) glyphosate or at least one agriculturally acceptable salt, derivative or mixtures thereof, and b) at least one rainfastness enhancing herbicidal component B, or at least one agriculturally acceptable salt, derivative or mixtures thereof, to unwanted vegetation, crops, crop seed or other crop propagating organ.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of crops, comprising the steps of 1) preparation of a spraying solution by mixing of 1.1) at least one agrochemical composition, and 1.2) raw glycerol derived from the production of biodiesel; and 2) application of said spraying solution on the soil and/or crop and/or weeds and/or pests and/or their locality and/or habitat. Further on, it relates to the use of raw glycerol derived from the production of biodiesel in the preparation of a spraying solution which comprises at least one agrochemical composition. Additionally, a spraying solution is disclosed comprising water, raw glycerol derived from the production of biodiesel and an agrochemical composition.

Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus having a plurality of portions according to this invention includes a storage device which stores, for each portion, information representing the lapsed time of use or the product processing count till occurrence of a failure after installation of the portion, and a calculation device which receives the information stored in the storage device and outputs function information representing a failure probability and/or failure rate as a function of the lapsed time of use or the product processing count for each portion.

Abstract: A pod for storing and carrying substrates consists of a pod body and a cover. An inlet and an outlet are formed on one of the pod body and cover. The cover is tightly fitted to the pod body to close the inside of the pod body. A washing liquid is introduced into the pod through the inlet and is discharged from the pod through the outlet, thereby easily washing the inside of the pod with the pod itself serving as a washing tank. A washing cover has an inlet, an outlet, and a heater. The washing cover is attached to the pod body when washing the inside of the pod body. Further provided is a cleaning apparatus having pipes and a pump that are connected to the washing cover. The cleaning apparatus may have a table serving as the washing cover. The table is connected to pipes and a pump.

Abstract: A carrier system is constituted by a plurality of carrier units which are coupled by inter-unit couplers. Each carrier unit includes a rail for moving a carrier, a table for placing an object to be delivered or retrieved, and a coupler for joining the rail and table. An inter-unit coupler is provided at the coupler. Further, the carrier system includes a rail having two rail tracks where two carriers move without interfering with each other.

Abstract: Storage equipment simply and effectively maintains the cleanness of substrates stored therein. The substrates in the storage equipment are set in a pod. The storage equipment has removable covers, a unit for fitting the covers to pods, respectively, a unit for holding the pods with the covers, a gas supply unit for individually supplying gas into the pods through the covers, and an exhaust unit for individually discharging an atmosphere from the pods through the covers. Each pod is closed with the cover in the storage equipment, and the gas supply unit and exhaust unit periodically replace an atmosphere in each pod with inert gas or evacuate each pod, to control the storage conditions of each pod in the storage equipment.
