Stem-regulated, plant defense promoter and uses thereof in tissue-specific expression in monocots
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2008-01-29)
The invention is directed to isolated promoters from stem-regulated, defense-inducible genes, such as OMT promoters. The promoters are useful in expression cassettes and expression vectors for the transformation of plants. ...
System and method for testing the compaction of soil
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2007-11-27)
A device for determining soil compaction includes a control member fitted with one or more sensors that measure the response of the control member during co-action between the control member and a soil surface. In one ...
Compositions and methods for removal of toxic metals and radionuclides
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2007-12-18)
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for the removal of toxic metals or radionuclides from source materials. Toxic metals may be removed from source materials using a clay, such as attapulgite or highly ...
System and method for remote monitoring and controlling of facility energy consumption
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2008-04-08)
A method for remote monitoring and controlling of energy consumption of a facility includes receiving energy consumption data associated with the facility at a processor disposed remotely from the facility. The method also ...
Gene sets for glioma classification
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2008-03-11)
The present invention provides a number of gene markers whose expression is altered in various gliomas. In particular, by examining the expression these markers, one can accurately classify a glioma as glioblastoma multiforme ...
Vapor-compression evaporation system and method
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2007-08-07)
According to one embodiment of the invention, a vapor-compression evaporation system includes a plurality of vessels in series each containing a feed having a nonvolatile component. A first set of the plurality of vessels ...
Recombinant virus expressing foreign DNA encoding feline CD86 and uses thereof
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2007-10-09)
The present invention involves a recombinant virus which comprises at least one foreign nucleic acid inserted within a non-essential region of the viral genome of a virus, wherein each such foreign nucleic acid encodes a ...
Method for characterising particles in suspension from frequency domain photon migration measurements
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2007-09-11)
Methods are provided for measuring isotropic scattering coefficients of suspensions using multiply scattered radiation that is modulated in amplitude at selected modulation frequencies. The radiation may be light. Quantities ...
Stem-regulated, plant defense promoter and uses thereof in tissue-specific expression in monocots
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2007-08-07)
The invention is directed to isolated promoters from stem-regulated, defense-inducible genes, such as JAS promoters. The promoters are useful in expression cassettes and expression vectors for the transformation of plants. ...
Advanced optics for rapidly patterned laser profiles in analytical spectrometry
(United States. Patent and Trademark Office, 2007-10-16)
The present invention is directed to a novel arrangement of optical devices for the rapid patterning of laser profiles used for desorption and/or ionization sources in analytical mass spectrometry. Specifically, the new ...
