Abstract: A multispectral inspection (MSI) device for analyzing an electronic item having a printed circuit board (PCB). An electronic power supply powers the electronic item in accordance with one or more test vectors. An optical imaging scanner, terahertz (THz) imaging scanner, and a functional imaging scanner are each operative to scan the electronic item. An electronic processor is programmed to scan the various scanners and control the power supply to acquire optical, THz, and functional images of the electronic item. The images are combined to form a standard three-dimensional (3D) signature and artificial intelligence (AI) classifiers are applied to the 3D signature to perform non-destructive analyses of the electronic item.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for altering or modifying the content and/or composition of one or more metabolites in the storage organs of a plant, at least comprising the expression of a sulfur-rich protein therein. In particular, the invention provides a method of modifying the fiber content and/or fiber composition and/or starch content and/or nitrogen content and/or non-sulfur-containing amino acid composition and/or anti-nutritional protein content and/or fatty acid content and/or fatty acid composition of the storage organs of a plant. The invention clearly extends to the plants produced by the performance of the inventive method and to genetic constructs which in use produce such plant material.
