Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a commercial tomato, namely S. lycopersicum plant, which is resistant to an arthropod pest comprising in its genome introgressed sequences from S. galapagense conferring resistance to said arthropod pest, wherein the introgressed sequences are chosen from those present in the genome of a plant of the line TUT115 NCIMB accession number 42109. The commercial tomato of the invention is preferably resistant to ToMV (Tomato Mosaic Virus). The introgressed sequences are preferably found at one or more of the 12 loci defined by the following SNP markers: SNP solcap_snp_sl_59890 on chromosome 1, SNP solcap_snp_sl_15339 on chromosome 1, SNP solcap_snp_sl_40154 on chromosome 1, SNP solcap_snp_sl_32320 on chromosome 6, SNP SL10187_425 on chromosome 6, SNP EE_2362 on chromosome 6, SNP EE_2996 on chromosome 6, SNP SL10539_786_LC7260 on chromosome 6, SNP EP_0489_LC7684 on chromosome 9, SNP IL2_5178 on chromosome 9, SNP EE_3482_LC7808 on chromosome 9 and SNP EE_1452 on chromosome 9.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to self-administered bedpans that may be utilized without assistance from a second party. In one embodiment, a self-administered bedpan includes a waste reservoir and one or more handles. The reservoir includes an opening extending above an anus of the user, and extending below a sacrum of the user. The handle is configured to be grasped by the user and can be further adapted to a plurality of orientations with respect to the bedpan thereby enabling the bedpan to be compatible with a plurality of user arm lengths.
Abstract:
The system and method for building an engagement advertisement disclosed herein includes enabling an advertiser to choose from multiple design templates and specify phases to create a rich, interactive advertisement. The engagement advertisement can be deployed onto the Internet, where a viewer can take part in an advertising experience based on the engagement advertisement. The advertising experience includes phases, and the viewer may be required to perform at least one action in a phase in order to advance to another phase. A completion to the advertising experience may be signified to the viewer, and in response to the completion to the advertising experience, the viewer may optionally be provided with a remuneration. The engagement advertisement may be used either as a stand-alone engagement advertisement or as part of a campaign, which includes targeting data, start/end dates, and a budget.
Abstract:
A system and method for testing a fluid seal in a device can include pumping fluid to the device and a control device simultaneously, while measuring the pressure of the fluid pumping to both devices. A change in volume of the fluid in the control device can be initiated, a change in pressure difference associated with the change in volume can be determined, and a leak test ratio can be formed therefrom. Changes in the pressure difference can be used to determine the presence of fluid leaks, which can be presented as test results to users connected to a network. A leak volume can be determined using the change in pressure difference and the leak test ratio.
Abstract:
The invention comprises devices and methods for providing operational power to a solar-powered irrigation control system. In one aspect, a method includes producing electrical energy from light, storing the electrical energy in a capacitive module, and operating an irrigation controller using the stored electrical energy independent of another power source. In another aspect, a device includes a control system comprising a computer having a programmed irrigation schedule which operates at least one irrigation device, a photovoltaic power module, and a capacitive module connected to said photovoltaic power module to store the electrical energy provided by the photovoltaic power module, where the capacitive module provides power for the control system to operate the at least one irrigation device independent of another power source.
Abstract:
Personal information of users is used to customize the browsing experiences of the users on a World-Wide-Web site. To ensure privacy of the users' personal information, each user is assigned a unique Universal Anonymous Identifier (UAI). The UAI is generated by a trusted third party and provided to the Web site operator. The Web site operator then indexes the users' personal information by UAI. Only the user has the ability to correlate his/her true identity with his/her personal information.
Abstract:
A computing system architecture is based upon a peer-to-peer, asynchronous model. The architecture specifies a set of infrastructure facilities that comprise an inter-prise operating system. The inter-prise operating system provides all the facilities that make application coding as easy in the peer-to-peer asynchronous model as it is in a hierarchical, synchronous model. Services, which reside in containers, are linked asynchronously by an inter-prise bus and use data from a virtual data store.

Abstract:
A method of energizing a high pressure tube connector for a well comprising a tube; a first connector assembly comprising: a female profile disposed over the tube and a first ferrule disposed over the tube adjacent the female profile; a second connector assembly comprising: an inverted jam nut disposed over the tube and a second ferrule disposed over the tube adjacent the inverted jam nut, wherein the second ferrule extends along the tube in a direction opposite the first ferrule; a nipple comprising a test port, wherein the nipple is disposed over the tube between the first ferrule and the second ferrule; a primary seal formed by compressing the first ferrule into the female profile using a pressure from the test port; and a secondary seal formed by compressing the second ferrule into the inverted jam nut using the pressure from the test port.
