Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an optical sensing apparatus for measuring a change in a first property. The optical sensing apparatus comprises first and second optical fibre portions and a sensing region for exposing both the first and second optical fibre portions to a change in an applied force. The force is, or is related to, the first property and has a component that is transversal to the optical fibre portions. The apparatus further comprises a holder for holding the first and second optical fibre portions in the sensing region. The first and second optical fibre portions are arranged relative to each other such that the change in the force results in a first change of an optical property of the first optical fibre portion and in a second change of the optical property of the second optical fibre portion and wherein the first change differs from the second change.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the novel cotton variety designated 21R635B3XF. Provided by the invention are the seeds, plants, plant parts, lint and derivatives of the cotton variety 21R635B3XF. Also provided by the invention are methods of using cotton variety 21R635B3XF and products derived therefrom. Still further provided by the invention are methods for producing cotton plants by crossing the cotton variety 21R635B3XF with itself or another cotton variety and plants and seeds produced by such methods.

Abstract:
A method for forming a titanium-aluminum based alloy in which titanium subchlorides and aluminum that have already been heated in a first zone are moved into and heated in an intermediate zone to a temperature at which at least a portion of the material can accrete and form a cake on a surface located in the intermediate zone. The non-caked material is moved to and heated in a second zone to form the titanium-aluminum based alloy. The caked material is periodically removed from the surface in the intermediate zone and heated with the non-caked material in the second zone.
Abstract:
An apparatus for dry physical separation of particulate material comprises an inclined separating surface having upper and lower edges, oscillation means for inducing non-linear oscillatory motion of the separating surface, and introduction means for introducing the particulate material onto the separating surface between the upper and lower edges.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to materials and methods for the expression of a gene of interest selectively in cotton fibers. In particular, the invention provides an expression cassette for regulating fiber-selective expression in plants.
Abstract:
A method for the solution or emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, styrene, and other free radical polymerizable monomers in aqueous media in which a cobalt chain transfer agent is used which has both hydrolytic stability and solubility in water and in the organic phase with preferential solubility in the organic phase.
