| 20120204293 | GLYPHOSATE TOLERANT ALFALFA EVENTS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION THEREOF - The present invention provides for alfalfa events J-101 and J-163 and DNA molecules unique to these events. The invention also provides methods for detecting the presence of these DNA molecules in a plant sample. | 2012-08-09 |
| 20120204294 | Method for Seed Devitalization - The invention provides a method for devitalizing plant seed, the method comprising the steps of hydrating a viable whole plant seed and freezing the hydrated whole plant seed. The invention further provides a collection of devitalized whole plant seed wherein the integrity of genomic DNA and protein within the devitalized plant seed is preserved. | 2012-08-09 |
| 20120204295 | FAST-SCANNING SPM SCANNER AND METHOD OF OPERATING SAME - A high-bandwidth SPM tip scanner includes an objective that is vertically movable within the scan head to increase the depth of focus for the sensing light beam. Movable optics also are preferably provided to permit targeting of the sensing light beam on the SPM's probe and to permit the sensing light beam to track the probe during scanning. The targeting and tracking permit the impingement of a small sensing light beam spot on the probe under direct visual inspection of focused illumination beam of an optical microscope integrated into the SPM and, as a result, permits the use of a relatively small cantilever with a commensurately small resonant frequency. Images can be scanned on large samples having a largest dimension exceeding 7 mm with a resolution of less than 1 Angstrom and while scanning at rates exceeding 30 Hz. | 2012-08-09 |
| 20120204296 | Multiple modulation heterodyne infrared spectroscopy - A heterodyne detection technique for highly localized IR spectroscopy based on an AFM. A pulsed IR source illuminates a sample and causes contact resonance of an AFM probe, which is a function of localized absorption. The probe is operated in intermittent contact mode and is therefore oscillated at a resonance frequency. A secondary oscillation is mixed in to the probe oscillation such that the sum of the secondary oscillation and the IR source pulse frequency is near another harmonic of the probe. A mixing effect causes measurable probe response at the other harmonic allowing data to be taken away from the pulse frequency, resulting in background effect rejection and improved spatial resolution. | 2012-08-09 |
| 20120204297 | Scanning Probe Microscope and Method of Observing Sample Using the Same - Optical information and topographic information of the surface of a sample are measured at a nanometer-order resolution and with high reproducibility without damaging a probe and the sample by combining a nanometer-order cylindrical structure with a nanometer-order microstructure to form a plasmon intensifying near-field probe having a nanometer-order optical resolution and by repeating approach/retreat of the probe to/from each measurement point on the sample at a low contact force. | 2012-08-09 |
| 20120204298 | Apple tree rootstock named 'G.890' - The present invention relates to a new and distinct variety of apple tree rootstock named ‘G.890.’ The ‘G.890’ apple tree rootstock is a dwarfing rootstock that is resistant to fire blight ( | 2012-08-09 |
| 20120204299 | Apple tree rootstock named 'G210' - A new and distinct variety of apple tree rootstock | 2012-08-09 |
| 20120204300 | Variety of thunbergia plant named 'NEBTHU 007' - ‘NEBTHU 007’ is a new variety of | 2012-08-09 |
| 20120204301 | Gerbera Plant Named 'UFGE 4141' | 2012-08-09 |
| 20120204302 | Gerbera plant named 'UFGE 7014' | 2012-08-09 |
