Abstract:
This invention is a new and distinct interspecific grapevine denominated ‘IFG Seven’. ‘IFG Seven’ is characterized by producing large, firm, oval green seedless berries with a distinctive and unique flavor. The fruit ripen and are harvestable from mid to late August.
Abstract:
This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Six’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing naturally large, extremely elongated, narrow diameter, crisp, seedless black berries having a distinct dimple on the distal end. The fruit ripen and are commercially harvestable from late August to mid-September. Berries color to full black and store well.
Abstract:
This invention is a new and distinct grapevine variety denominated ‘IFG Eight’. The new grapevine is characterized by producing crisp oval, seedless fruits which are fully black in color and ripen early in the growing season.
Abstract:
In one example embodiment, the present invention is a portable container for use in a sink. The sink has predetermined inner dimensions and a sink drain. The sink drain has an inlet with predetermined inner dimensions. The container comprises a bottom, sides, and a top opening. The container bottom has a drain. The container bottom and sides are formed with outer dimensions less than the predetermined inner dimensions of the sink such that the container may substantially fit in the sink. The container drain protrudes outwardly from the container bottom with an outlet. The outlet has outer dimensions substantially equal to or less than the predetermined inner dimensions of the sink drain inlet such that the container drain outlet may substantially fit in the sink drain inlet. And, in some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the container drain comprises a means for temporarily sealing the container drain with the sink drain so as to minimize possible leakage between the container drain and the sink drain.
Abstract:
A closure assembly which comprises an orifice which comprises a venting material, and wherein said venting material is substantially permeable to gases and wherein said venting material is substantially impermeable to liquids.
Abstract:
A new and distinct nectarine tree variety, prunus persica var. ‘Sunectwentyone’ that possesses a relatively low chilling requirement of 250 hours at or below 7.2° C.; heavy production of relatively large (66 mm), very firm fruit that can be harvested about May 8-15 in Kern County, CA, (about 4 days after ‘April Glo’ nectarine (U.S. Plant. Pat. No. PP7305)). The nectarine fruit is bright red with bright yellow flesh that is moderately juicy, very firm, and tart-sweet with 12 brix. The plant has a relatively low tendency for split-pits, russeting, and thrips damage.
Abstract:
A new and distinct variety of plum tree, Prunus salicina ‘Suplumthirtysix’ that is characterized by heavy and consistent production of late season large (70mm) elongated fruit, often having a prominent tip. The flesh is amber-colored with a crisp, very juicy texture, aromatic flavor, high sugar content (19° brix), and low acidity. The fruit skin is reddish-black with a neutral flavor.
Abstract:
An SOI integrated circuit includes ESD protection on an SOI chip. A first power domain and a second power domain are provided in the SOI chip. In one embodiment, a charge modulation network in the SOI chip between the first power domain and the second power domain mitigates accumulation of electrical charge in an electrically isolated region of the SOI chip. In another embodiment, an ESD protection device in the SOI chip electrically connects the first power domain and the second power domain via a low metal layer to provide a discharge path for accumulated charge.
