  • Publication number: 20210135745
    Abstract: Techniques, systems, devices, and methods for utilizing a mobile communicator for communicating with multiple satellites, e.g., simultaneously over an interval of time, are disclosed. The mobile communicator is disposed on a vehicle, and the multiple satellites may be disposed in different satellite constellations operating in different orbits. The mobile communicator establishes multiple communication links to the multiple satellites by utilizing only the set of antenna resources provided by a single antenna platform or array. Subsets of the antenna resources are dynamically apportioned and adapted, e.g., while the vehicle travels, to establish and maintain different communication links to different satellites via different spatial channels and their respective air interfaces to thereby maintain optimal satellite communicative connectivity. On-board connectivity services for personal electronic devices and/or other on-board applications may be supported by the disclosed techniques.

    Abstract: A TMV resistant tobacco plant containing a short N introgressed segment and a method for breeding the same. A homozygous tobacco plant containing an N introgressed segment is hybridized with a tobacco plant of genotype nn to obtain an F1 progeny tobacco plant of genotype Nn. The F1 progeny tobacco plant is hybridized with the tobacco plant of genotype nn, to obtain population materials for screening to obtain the short N introgressed segment. TMV is inoculated at a seedling stage, and Nn genotype plants showing necrotic lesion are obtained by screening the population materials. The Nn genotype plants are genotyped using a molecular marker TN5.51 primer pair and an N gene-specific molecular marker N1N2 at the right end of the N introgressed segment. A plant found to be negative when tested by the TN5.51 primer pair and to be positive when tested by the N1N2 molecular marker is a plant comprising the short N introgressed segment.
