Abstract: A method is provided for regenerating cotton plants from explant tissue. The improved method allows the generation of embryogenic callus from a cotton tissue explant which is not cultivated on cotton initiation media having exogenous plant hormones. The method can be utilized in the transformation of cotton plants, by cutting cotton tissue to form an explant, co-cultivating the cotton explant tissue with Agrobacterium comprising a DNA sequence of interest, and culturing the co-cultivated explant on cotton initiation media comprising a selective agent but having no exogenous plant hormones. In this fashion transformed cells are induced to produce embryogenic callus on hormone-free selective media.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process on the eddy-current test principle and a device for determining the thickness (dr) of an electrically conductive protective layer (1) applied to an electrically conductive substrate (2). The electrical conductivities of the layer (1) and the substrate (2) differ. An exciting coil (3) through which a high-frequency electric current is passing is brought close to the layer (1) and especially brought into mechanical contact therewith so that an electric eddy current is generated in the layer (1) and the underlying substrate (2). A parameter allocated to the impedance of a test coil (9) is determined and used as the basis for determining the thickness (dr) of the layer (1), e.g. by comparison with known reference values. The frequency (f) of the high-frequency electric current is such that the thickness (dr) of the layer (1) can be clearly determined at an electrical conductivity ratio between 0.7 and 1.5.

the torque compensation device (200) comprising a cam (201) connected 
to the input shaft, a cam follower (202), and a 
resilient force-producing device pressing the cam 
follower against the cam. A fluctuation torque portion, 
obtained by subtracting, from a fluctuation torque acting 
on the input shaft due to a frictional load acting 
on at least one of the input shaft and the output shaft 
when converting the motion of the input shaft into the 
motion of the output shaft through the transmission cam 
device, an average value or its approximate value of the 
fluctuation torque, and a fluctuation torque acting on 
the input shaft due to an inertia load when converting 
the motion of the input shaft into the motion of the 
output shaft, are canceled by a fluctuation torque

Abstract: A system determines a sticky bit in a floating point
arithmetic system without performing a logical sum of bits
shifted out after alignment. The system compares exponents
of input operands representing floating-point numbers, and
subtracts smaller exponent from larger exponent to determine
a shift amount by which the smaller mantissa is to be shifted
for alignment. The system generates a shift signal indicative
of the determined shift amount. The system counts the
number of leading zero in mantissa of the smaller exponent
toward the most significant bit of the mantissa, and generates
a leading zero count signal indicative of the counted number of
leading zero. The system compares the shift signal with the
leading zero count signal and generates a sticky bit signal in
response to the result of comparing the shift signal with the
leading zero count signal, which sticky bit signal anticipates
creation of a sticky bit after shifting the mantissa for
alignment.

Abstract: Apparatus and concomitant method for performing
priority based scheduling of wafer processing within a
multiple chamber semiconductor wafer processing system
(100) (cluster tool). The sequences (136) assigns
priority values to the chambers (104,106,108,110) in a
cluster tool, then moves wafers from chamber to
chamber in accordance with the assigned priorities.
The sequencer is capable of determining the amount of
time available before a priority move is to be
performed and, if time is sufficient, the sequencer
performs a non-priority move while waiting. The
sequencer also dynamically varies assigned priorities
depending upon the availability of chambers in the
tool. Lastly, the sequencer prioritizes the chambers
based upon the minimum time required for the robot to
move the wafers in a particular stage.
