Abstract: The present invention provides a method of improving the ability of plants to resistance diseases, comprising using a strain of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and a Bidens plant extract; and the Bidens plant extract enhances the ability of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens to inhibit the growth of the Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli, increases the metabolic activity of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, increases the amount of the biofilm formation of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens, and maintains the alive number of the Bacillus amyloliquefaciens.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a connector assembly for a liquid manifold within a server rack. The connector assembly includes a pipe configured to connect to the liquid manifold. The pipe has a flexible portion configured to accommodate at least one of lateral or vertical manipulation of the pipe while the pipe remains connected to the liquid manifold. The connector assembly further includes a first connector and a second connector configured to form a liquid-tight connection when coupled together. One of the first connector and the second connector is connected to a distal end of the pipe. The other of the first connector and the second connector is configured to connect to a component within the server rack, for supplying coolant from the liquid manifold to the component.

Abstract: An antenna structure capable of operating in several modes includes first and second metal patches and a substrate (which can be an air-filled void) positioned between them. The second patch is substantially an isosceles trapezoidal patch. The second patch includes a first bottom edge, a second bottom edge parallel to and spaced from the first bottom edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, a first shorting wall, and a second short circuit patch. The first side edge and the second side edge are connected to the first bottom edge and the second bottom edge. The first shorting wall and the second shorting wall are formed between the first patch and the second patch. The second patch further defines a V-shaped slot.
