Abstract: The invention relates to the field of sensor units 10 capable of sending measurements along with a digital signature. The sensor unit 10 sends some measurements along with a signature and sends some measurements without a signature, resulting in saving in the bandwidth on the transmission lines. Also the hash value used to compute the signature is computed as and when the measurements are taken, without storing the measurements in the memory. This provides efficient method of ensuring data integrity. The electronic control unit 14 which receives measurements from the sensor unit 10, needs to calculate signature only for a pre-defined number of measurements, from a total number of measurements. This saves the processing power of ECU 14 and still ensures the overall security for the measurements sent by the sensor unit 10. Triggers sent by the sensor unit 10 notifying start of the calculation of the signature, start of the transmission of the signature and end of the transmission of the signature will provide synchronisation of the sensor unit 10 with the ECU 14, to receive the information correctly. The triggers will also provide a configurability to vary the number of measurements which need to have the signature and to vary the number of measurements which need not have a signature.

Abstract: The subject invention provides novel plants that are not only resistant to 2,4-D and other phenoxy auxin herbicides, but also to aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides. Heretofore, there was no expectation or suggestion that a plant with both of these advantageous properties could be produced by the introduction of a single gene. The subject invention also includes plants that produce one or more enzymes of the subject invention alone or "stacked" together with another herbicide resistance gene, preferably a glyphosate. resistance gene, so as to provide broader and more robust weed control, increased treatment flexibility, and improved herbicide resistance management options. More specifically, preferred enzymes and genes for use according to the subject invention are referred to herein as AAD (aryloxyalkanoate dioxygenase) genes and proteins. No ±-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase enzyme has previously been reported to have the ability to degrade herbicides of different chemical classes and modes of action. This highly novel discovery is the basis of significant herbicide tolerant crop trait opportunities as well as development of selectable marker technology. The subject invention also includes related methods of controlling weeds. The subject invention enables novel combinations of herbicides to be used in new ways. Furthermore, the subject invention provides novel methods of preventing the formation of, and controlling, weeds that are resistant (or naturally more tolerant) to one or more herbicides such as glyphosate.
