20150150188 | Apparatus for Transplanting Plants - Described herein is an apparatus useful in the transplantation of plants. The apparatus for transplanting plants comprises a transplanting module configured to transplant a plurality of plants in a row, the transplanting module comprising: a soil contacting surface (skid plate) being substantially planar to a soil to planted, a keel member to create a furrow in the soil where the keel extends a predefined distance below the soil contacting surface, where an outer periphery of the keel member defines the depth of the furrow, a carrying means configured to support the plant, where the carrying means extend from a position that is above the soil contacting surface and below the soil contacting surface, and extending a predefined depth into the furrow for transporting of the plant from the apparatus and into the furrow where the carrying means has a distal end for discharging the plant, and where the carrying means are configured to expose an outer periphery of the plant below the soil contacting surface so that at least one side wall of the furrow comes into contact with an outer periphery of the plant before the plant is discharged from the distal end of the carrying means, a transport means for supporting and transporting the plant via the carrying means and into the furrow along a longitudinal axis that is substantially parallel to the planting direction of the apparatus, where the transport means is configured to release the plant when the plant has reached its predefined depth into the furrow. | 06-04-2015 |

20120172245 | METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR CAPTURE ANTIBODY TARGETED FLOURESCENT IN-SITU HYBRIDIZATION (CAT-FISH) - The subject invention concerns materials and methods for detecting a target cell in a population. Methods of the invention comprise internally labeling cells via fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using probes that target rRNA, followed by binding of capture antibodies targeted (CAT) for specific cell surface epitopes on the target cells. In one embodiment, the target cells are bacterial cells. | 07-05-2012 |

20100211864 | SYSTEM FOR AND METHOD OF VISUAL REPRESENTATION AND REVIEW OF MEDIA FILES - This document describes, among other things, systems and methods for visual representation and review of media files. A method comprises: 1) accessing a media file that includes at least an audio track; accessing a media review file, wherein the media review file is associated with the media file and further wherein the media review file includes annotation data, the annotation data including two or more users' annotation comments; 2) presenting the media file and the media review file using a graphical user interface, wherein the graphical user interface includes a vertical time bar, wherein the vertical time bar includes an indicator to indicate a position in the audio track included in the media file and further wherein annotation data displayed in the user interface vertically scrolls in synchronization with the indicator on the vertical time bar; and 3) saving any modifications to annotation data in the media review file. | 08-19-2010 |

20120305477 | SOLIDS RETENTION TIME UNCOUPLING BY SELECTIVE WASTING OF SLUDGE - Fluorescence in situ hybridizations were used to identify and determine the abundance of nitrifying bacteria and Anammox bacteria (recycling bacteria) in freshly settled sludge of biological nutrient removal (BNR) secondary clarifiers. An uneven distribution was observed for recycling bacteria in two BNR systems. Settling patterns suggest microcolony formation processes are sensitive to the internal recycle rate, which allow for rapid recycling bacteria microcolony growth by increasing circulation of flocs through the aeration and anoxic basins. Sludge containing high levels of recycling bacteria are selectively collected and separated from the remaining sludge, uncoupling the solids retention time (SRT) of the recycling bacteria from the wasting bacteria. Elevated recycling bacteria SRTs increase concentrations of nitrifying bacteria in the aeration basin and Anammox bacteria in the anoxic basin, improving nitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation. Uncoupling the SRT enhances aeration and/or anoxic basin utilization and reduces the overall hydraulic residence time. | 12-06-2012 |

20140093933 | MICROBIAL CELL AND PARTICLE SELECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE - The invention comprises two key components: dielectrophoresis (DEP) and reversible binding surfaces. DEP has become an important tool for trapping dielectric particles. Moreover, DEP can manipulate cell movement as dictated by the intrinsic dielectric constant of the cell without modification. DEP therefore provides a mechanism by which to force targets in a flow channel to a reversible binding surface. By building selectivity into the binding surface, the capacity to choose which targets can be held after the dielectric field is turned off, providing a separation strategy that does not suffer from fouling issues, as large foulants can freely pass over the surface through the flow channel. | 04-03-2014 |
