Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing protoplasts of
cassava or closely related species, which protoplasts are capable of
regeneration into plants. The method comprises producing friable
embryogenic callus from explants of cassava or closely related species and
isolating protoplasts from said friable embryogenic callus. The invention
also concerns protoplasts obtainable by said method. The invention
further relates to a method for transforming such a protoplast of cassava
or closely related species, and transformed protoplasts obtainable thereby.
In addition, the invention concerns a method for regenerating plants from
these protoplasts and a cassava plant or closely related species obtainable
thereby.

Abstract: A method of controlling the operation of an engine fuel system including at
least one fuel injector (14), a high pressure fuel pump (10) for delivering fuel to
the injector (14) and a pressure sensor (18) arranged to provide an output signal
indicative of the pressure of fuel delivered to the injector (14), comprises the
steps of controlling the rate of flow of fuel delivered from the pump (10) to the
injector (14) by means of a metering valve arrangement (4) supplied with a
control current (16), measuring the speed of the engine and monitoring the
status of the pressure sensor (18) so as to determine whether a fault condition
has occurred within the sensor (18). In the event that a fault condition has
occurred in the pressure sensor (18), the control current (16) supplied to the
metering valve arrangement (4) is varied in response to the measured engine
speed signal so as to maintain operation of the engine at a substantially
constant, predetermined engine speed. The invention also relates a fuel system

Abstract: Security key distribution techniques using key rollover strategies for
wireless networks are described. A number of keys are generated, usually by an
access point. The present invention allows a standard mode and a mixed mode. In
standard mode, each device on the network supports automatic key updates. In mixed
mode, one or more devices on the wireless network require fixed keys. In both modes,
a predetermined number of keys are determined and communicated to client devices
that are accessing the wireless network. The predetermined number is determined so
that a client device can miss a certain number of authentication periods without losing
communication with the wireless network. Preferably, transmit keys used by an
access point are different than the transmit keys used by the client devices that support
automatic key updates.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé et un ensemble circuit permettant d'effectuer la préaccentuation de signaux logiques transmis. Le procédé et l'ensemble circuit peuvent être appliqués à des lignes d'entrée-sortie terminées par des points milieu à extrémité unique. Dans une forme de réalisation, un circuit de commande peut être configuré pour surveiller les valeurs logiques (c'est-à-dire de logique 0, de logique 1, ou de logique faible, de logique élevée) des signaux transmis par le circuit de commande. Le circuit de commande peut comparer la valeur logique d'un signal logique suivant devant être transmis à un signal transmis auparavant et à un deuxième signal transmis auparavant. La préaccentuation du signal logique suivant peut s'effectuer sur la base de la valeur logique du signal logique suivant devant être transmis ainsi que sur la base des valeurs logiques des premier et deuxième signaux logiques. Si les premier et deuxième signaux logiques ont la même valeur logique et que le signal logique suivant a une valeur différente, la valeur logique suivante peut être préaccentuée. Si le signal logique suivant a une valeur logique qui est équivalente à l'un des deux premier et deuxième signaux logiques, il peut être transmis sans préaccentuation.
