The present invention relates to a method for producing plants with improved agronomic and nutritional traits. Such traits include enhanced nitrogen assimilatory and utilization capacities, faster and more vigorous growth, greater vegetative and reproductive yields, and enriched or altered nitrogen content in vegetative and reproductive parts. More particularly, the invention relates to the engineering of plants modified to have altered expression of key enzymes in the nitrogen assimilation and utilization pathways. In one embodiment of the present invention, the desired altered expression is accomplished by engineering the plant for ectopic overexpression of one of more the native or modified nitrogen assimilatory enzymes. The invention also has a number of other embodiments, all of which are disclosed herein.

One or more reactive color inks are printed under and over black text and graphics areas. That is to say, one or more reactive color inks are first printed in a selected area in which black text and/or graphics are to be printed, then the black text and/or graphics are printed, and finally one or more reactive color inks are then printed over the black text and/or graphics. The use of under- and over-printing of black text and/or graphics by reactive color inks improves several important characteristics of inkjet printing. Specifically, the following improvements are obtained: dry-time, finger smudge, media independence/print quality, waterfastness, strikethrough, less noticeable missing/misdirected nozzles, and no dedicated pens are required. Alternatively, either underprinting alone or overprinting alone may be used.

A conductor of at least the outermost signal wire of the plurality of signal wires which is remote from the drain wire is made of a copper alloy.

A Collaborative Deep Network model method for pedestrian detection includes constructing a new collaborative multi-model learning framework to complete a classification process during pedestrian detection; and using an artificial neuron network to integrate judgment results of sub-classifiers in a collaborative model, and training the network by means of the method for machine learning, so that information fed back by sub-classifiers can be more effectively synthesized. A re-sampling method based on a K-means clustering algorithm can enhance the classification effect of each classifier in the collaborative model, and thus improves the overall classification effect. By building a collaborative deep network model, different types of training data sets obtained using a clustering algorithm are used for training a plurality of deep network models in parallel, and then classification results, on deep network models, of an original data set are integrated and comprehensively analyzed, which achieves more accurate sample classification.

The present invention provides a light source, method, computer-readable storage medium and computer program product for optimising one or more illumination characteristic thereof. In particular, the present invention provides a light source comprising four or more light-emitting elements, or groups or arrays thereof, each one of which having a respective predefined emission spectrum which, when combined in accordance with a given intensity ratio, provide illumination at a particular color temperature. This light source may comprise an internal and/or external selection module for selecting one or more illumination characteristics to be optimised, and internal and/or external computing module for optimising drive parameters of the light source to provide the optimised illumination characteristic selected. The light source may optionally be hardwired to operate according to predefined drive parameters selected, using a method, computer-readable storage medium and/or computer program product of the present invention, in order to optimise a pre-selected illumination characteristic.

A loudspeaker unit (2) of a loudspeaker system (1) is fitted to a cabinet (4). An absorbent (3) is disposed in a hollow chamber (R) inside the cabinet (4) and absorbs a gas inside the hollow chamber (R). A phase inverting mechanism (8) inverts the phase by resonating with a sound of a specific frequency radiated from the loudspeaker unit (2) into the hollow chamber (R) and radiates this sound to outside. The watertight means of the phase inverting mechanism (8) prevents invasion of moisture into inside the hollow chamber (R) from outside the cabinet (4) through the phase inverting mechanism (8).

A method for modifying the spectrum of light rays passing through an objective lens to an electronic camera that includes providing an interference type filter within the objective lens. The interference type filter may be a coating on a separate optical element added to the objective lens or on a normal optical component of the objective lens. The interference filter coating is located along the optical axis where the light rays are substantially collimated and have a minimum light ray incidence angle with respect to the coating surface, which angle should not exceed 15 degrees for any of the light rays passing therethrough.

The nonaqueous secondary battery according to the invention uses a separator 10 which is a composite resin film with a reinforcing material layer 11 integrally filled with polyvinylidene fluoride resin 12 or a separator 20 which is a composite resin film with a polyvinylidene fluoride resin layer 21 and a reinforcing material layer 22 stacked thereon. In this way, when the reinforcing material layer 11 is integrally filled with the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) resin 12, or the reinforcing material layer 22 is stacked on the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF) resin layer 21, even if the polyvinylidene fluoride resin swells, its swelling is limited by the reinforcing material layer 11, 21 in the directions of width and length so that the separator 10 or 20 does not wrinkle.

The optical characteristics of an eye to be tested having a large amount of aberration can be measured accurately. A first illuminating optical system (10) illuminates an eye to be tested (100) with a wide beam by using a light flux from a light source (11). A first light receiving unit (21A) receives reflection light fluxes from the eye to be tested that have been converted into practically at least 17 beams by a first conversion member (22A). A first compensation optical unit (60A), disposed in the first illuminating optical system (10), compensates an illuminating light flux to the eye to be tested (100) for aberration. A second compensation optical unit (60B), disposed in a first light receiving optical system (20A), compensates a reflection light flux from the eye to be tested (100) for aberration. An operation unit determines, based on an output from the first light receiving unit (21A), a compensation amount for canceling out aberration to deform the first and second compensation optical units (60A, 60B) and hence compensate for aberration. In addition, the operation unit determines the optical characteristics of the eye (100), based on optical characteristics based on an output from the first light receiving unit (21A) after compensation, and on compensated optical characteristics.

For example, of a first intensity distribution waveform WF1 indicated by a distance distribution of an intensity of light which returns to one end of a core of a multicore fiber, and a second intensity distribution waveform WF2 indicated by a distance distribution of an intensity of light which returns to the other end of the core, the second intensity distribution waveform WF2 is inverted. Further, for example, an inverted intensity distribution waveform WF3 which is inverted and the first intensity distribution waveform WF1 which is not inverted are added.
