摘要:
A method of controlling target aquatic microorganism pest populations by exposing the target population to an effective amount of an aquacidal compound. The aquacidal compounds are selected from the group consisting of quinones, anthraquinones, naphthalenediones, quinine, warfarin, coumarins, amphotalide, cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione, phenidione, pirdone, sodium rhodizonate, apirulosin and thymoquinone. The method is particularly effective for treating ballast water of ships or other enclosed volumes of water subject to transport between or among geographic areas to control the relocation of plants, toxic bacteria, and animals contained in the water.

Anomaly-driven software for capturing and automating responses to computer anomalies is disclosed. Computer anomalies are processed by identifying the occurrence of an anomaly and correcting the computer anomaly by initiating a stored corrective action based on a user's input for resolving the anomaly.

A device for covering food (306) during microwave heating includes a microwavable flexible sheet (100) having a substantially smooth, food-facing surface (102) that is free of openings. The sheet (100) has a configuration and weight distribution for draping the sheet (100) over the food (306) on a food-containing rigid structure (304) such that the sheet (100) contacts at least a portion of an outer perimeter of the food-containing rigid structure (304) creating at least a partial enclosure around the food (306). During microwave heating, the at least a partial enclosure around the food (306) substantially contains food-splattering (308) inside while allowing build-up of steam (312) to escape through an opening (310) between the sheet (100) and the at least a portion of the outer perimeter of the food-containing rigid structure (304).
摘要:
A novel mini-retrotransposon vector system is provided for integrating foreign DNA into plants. The invention includes a novel vector comprising a truncated and modified retroelement which includes the 5′ and 3′ LTR regions that provide transcription initiation and termination sites as well as the cis acting sequences required for reverse transcription. Novel vectors, plant cells, and methods of using the same are disclosed.

A method of controlling or inhibiting the growth of aquatic plants and animals applies an effective amount of an active compound. The active compounds are selected from the group consisting of quinones, anthraquinones, naphthalenediones, quinine, warfarin, coumarins, amphotalide, cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione, phenidione, pirdone, sodium rhodizonate, apirulosin and thymoquinone. The compounds are particularly effective for treating ballast water of ships to control the relocation of plants and animals contained in the ballast water.

A retrieving component connects to a server to download a cue stack for the interactive event with the cue stack having a series of cues for a plurality of effects, including at least one of a screen color effect, a screen image effect, and a flashing effect, arranged in a predetermined order. A receiving component receives at least one cue trigger from a localized trigger generator. A rendering component matches the cue trigger to a cue within the cue stack. The rendering component can activate the screen to display a color in response to a cue for a screen color effect, can activate the screen to display an image in response to a cue for a screen image effect, and can activate the flashing device in response to a cue for a flashing effect.
摘要:
A bed frame and cover that is capably joinable to another bed frame and cover and capably disjoinable from another bed frame and cover and of which comprises a mattress supporting plate which is capable of moving vertically within the cover. The cover is a unified structure of walls and a roof with pivotally connected doors that capably form an enclosure around the plate or of which are stowable on the roof. The entire cover is capable of 360 degree bi-directional rotation around the entire plate as well as vertical movement. A capably pivotable mattress attachment is stowable under the plate or extends to form a contiguous mattress surface of which is supported by rods that connect to another bed frame and cover. The bed frame and cover is capable of a multitude of configurations dependent on bed frame, mattress attachment and the cover's optional positioning.
