International Classification:

A01H 500

US Classification:

800320

Abstract:

The invention provides a process to prepare a recombined transgenic plant from a transgenic plant, wherein the transgene in the recombinant plant has an altered genetic structure relative to the genetic structure of the transgene in the transgenic plant, due to recombination-mediated transgene deletion.

International Classification:

H04J 14/00

US Classification:

398 45, 398 50, 398 51, 398 54, 398 56

Abstract:

A hierarchical and distributed control architecture for managing an optical communications network. The architecture includes a line card manager level for managing individual line cards in an optical switch, a node manager level for managing multiple line cards in an optical switch/node, and a network management system level for managing multiple optical switches/nodes in a network. An event manager at the node manager level enables software components that are running at the node manager to register for and receive events, and to post events. The events may be triggered, e. g. , by a change in a status of the switch, or an alarm condition. Control architecture functionalities include signaling, routing, protection switching and network management. Furthermore, the network management function includes a topology manager, a performance manager, a connection manager, a fault detection manager, and a configuration manager.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707706, 707765

Abstract:

Application launching on a computer via indexed data. Based on a search term entered by a user, the computer searches an index containing metadata representative of one or more applications installed on the computer. A user interface on the computer's display has a window for displaying the results of searching the index. In addition, the user interface receives user input to select an application from the search results to be initiated. The computer is responsive to the user input via the user interface for initiating the selected application installed on the computer. A computer-readable medium including a persistent component, an index component, a query component, and an execution component embodies further aspects of the invention.

International Classification:

H04B010/08
H04J014/00
H04B010/20

US Classification:

359/118000, 359/117000

Abstract:

An optical communications network having at least one optical switch connected to a network access device. The optical switch includes a first line card disposed along a first communications path over which a first optical signal is transmitted. The first line card is connected to the network access device. A second line card is disposed along a second communications path over which a second optical signal is transmitted. An inter-card communication channel is provided for bridging the second path to the first line card. The system enables the rapid switching of traffic from the first optical path to the second optical path.
