Abstract: Illustrative embodiments of semiconductor devices including a polar insulation layer capped by a non-polar insulation layer, and methods of fabrication of such semiconductor devices, are disclosed. In at least one illustrative embodiment, a semiconductor device may comprise a semiconductor substrate, a polar insulation layer disposed on the semiconductor substrate and comprising a Group V element configured to increase a carrier mobility in at least a portion of the semiconductor substrate, and a non-polar insulation layer disposed above the polar insulation layer.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are described that provide a user interface to a user of a first operating system to enable the user to interact with a second operating system executing in a virtual machine. If the first and second operating systems are in communication in accordance with an operating system remote terminal (OSRT) protocol, such as Remote Desktop Protocol, a first user interface is provided as the user interface. If the first and second operating systems are not in communication in accordance with the OSRT protocol, a second user interface is provided as the user interface.

Abstract: The invention relates to the genetic manipulation of plants, particularly to the expression of genes involved in oxylipin metabolism in plants. Nucleotide sequences encoding homologues of Old Yellow Enzyme, and inducible promoters and proteins thereof, are provided. The sequences find use in modifying oxylipin metabolism in plants, increasing the resistance of plants to stress, regulating gene expression in plants, and in the production of oxylipins in plants.

Abstract: PC Add-On Card for controlling consumer grade VHS-VCR(s) comprising address decoding section and bidirectional buffer connected to I/O ports for interchanging data between computer and VHS-VCR(s) through digital switching control and to counter section for counting tape positioning pulses from the VHS-VCR(s) through analog multiplexer section. The digital switching control section and analog function switching control electronically control the functions of VHS-VCR(s) through the analog multiplexer section interactively. This Card may be used for integrating real time analog video from a built-in VHS-VCR and animation from the computer in Analog Video Interactive Equipment.
