摘要:
Systems and methods for generating pseudo haptic feedback for a virtual widget are disclosed. The method includes computing, from a force profile of the virtual widget, a virtual displacement value based on a force value and a type of the virtual widget. The force profile describes a user's perception of physical characteristics of the virtual widget. The method generates a visual haptic feedback based on the virtual displacement value and the type of the virtual widget. Further, in response to the force value, the method may display on a display screen the visual haptic feedback.

The present invention relates to rice oil, rice bran and rice seeds which have altered levels of oleic acid, palmitic acid and/or linoleic acid. The present invention also provides methods for genetically modifying rice plants such that rice oil, rice bran and rice seeds produced therefrom have altered levels of oleic acid, palmitic acid and/or linoleic acid. Specifically this is achieved through modulation of Fad2 and/or FatB expression.

The present invention provides a hybrid polymer stent with two or more polymer component structures which are integrated in the polymer stent main structure. The methods for fabrication of the hybrid stents is also provided. It is a further object to the present invention to provide a 4 axis RP system in which the 4th axis is a computer controlled rotation shaft added to an xyz position system. In preferred embodiments, the 4 axis RP system also has 2 or more material delivery systems that sequentially deposit two or more polymer hot melt filaments or viscous solution filaments.

The present invention relates to methods of synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, in recombinant cells such as yeast or plant cells. Also provided are recombinant cells or plants which produce long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a group of new enzymes which possess desaturase or elongase activity that can be used in methods of synthesizing long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. In particular, the present invention provides ω3 destaurases, Δ5 elongases and Δ6 desaturases with novel activities. Also provided are methods and DNA constructs for transiently and/or stably transforming cells, particularly plant cells, with multiple genes.

The present invention relates to processes for extracting lipid from vegetative plant parts such as leaves, stems, roots and tubers, and for producing industrial products such as hydrocarbon products from the lipids. Preferred industrial products include alkyl esters which may be blended with petroleum based fuels.

An energy harvester system (EHS) for converting a multiple degree of freedom (MDF) pendulum motion into a rotational motion is provided. The EHS includes a pendulum, a pointing element, and motion control slots (MCSs) enclosed in an external housing. Ambient motion from the external housing generates a MDF pendulum motion in the pendulum. The pointing element is slidably positioned on a rod of the pendulum. The MCSs receive a connector that connects the pointing element to the rod of the pendulum and allow the connector to traverse the MCSs, thereby controlling slidable movement of the pointing element along with the pendulum. When the pendulum moves to first ends of the MCSs, the pointing element slides on the rod to allow a pointer of the pointing element to contact and rotate a gear, thereby converting the MDF pendulum motion into a rotational motion of the gear, which drives an electric generator.

The field effect device includes an active area made from semi-conducting material and a gate electrode separated from the active area by a dielectric gate material. A counter-electrode is separated from the active area by a layer of electrically insulating material. Two source/drain contacts are arranged on the active area on each side of the gate electrode. One of the source/drain contacts is made from a single material, overspills from the active area and connects the active area with the counter-electrode. The counter-electrode contact is delineated by a closed peripheral insulating pattern.

The present specification relates to the production of cotton plants and seeds and oil prepared therefrom having elevated levels of oleic and reduced levels of palmitic and linoleic acids. Furthermore, cottonseeds having low levels of cyclopropane and/or cyclopropene fatty acids and/or reduced levels of gossypol are described herein. The specification also describe FatB and CPA-FAS nucleotide and amino acid sequences derived from cotton facilitating, inter alia the direct modification of plant oil content and/or composition.
