Abstract: Methods and compositions for improving yield in a plant are provided. Methods of improving yield include treating plants with an effective amount of glyphosate, wherein the plant express at least two heterologous polypeptides that impart tolerance to glyphosate via distinct modes of action. In one non-limiting method, the first polypeptide has glyphosate N-acetyl transferase activity and the second polypeptide comprises a glyphosate-tolerant EPSPS polypeptide.

Abstract: An exemplary screen printing stencil includes a frame, a screen mesh and a metal foil. The screen mesh is stretched tightly in the frame. The metal foil is attached on a surface of the screen mesh. A screen printing pattern is defined on the metal foil by a laser machining process. A machining tolerance of the screen printing pattern is either in a range from 0.005 to 0.02 millimeters or in a range from ?0.02 to ?0.005 millimeters. The screen printing stencil can be used in a screen printing process of manufacturing a printed circuit board, thereby improving quality of the printed circuit board.

Abstract: Before call handover between radio network subsystems (RNS's) of a radio access network, a serving radio network controller (RNC) of a first RNS determines the level of congestion in an Iur interface between the serving RNC and an RNC of a second RNS. If the Iur interface is determined to be congested when a call handover is required, the serving RNC uses the Iu interface with a core network of the radio access network to signal the core network to perform a call handover, and the core network uses the Iu interface with the RNC of the second RNS to signal the RNC of the second RNS to become a serving RNC for the call.
