Method for decreasing lignin and increasing cellulose in crops via genetic engineering to produce crops that will have reduced chemical pre-treatment requirements for bio-fuel production.

Automatic fingerprint matching using Level 3 features in conjunction with Level 1 and Level 2 features

A MEMS oscillator with multiple microbeam resonators capable of detecting multiple analytes with a single forcing input and single detection output signal.

A new type of neural network is introduced that uses a multi-layer design with in-place learning. This provides a simpler, more efficient, and more effective network architecture for neural networks that can be automatically trained for classification and regression analysis.

A method of producing a composite material with double the energy absorption capability of current composites.

The technology yields a stable zeolite with uniformly distributed intracrystal pores that range from a microporosity with diameters of 1.2 to 2.0 nm to small mesoporosity of 2 to 10 nm that should provide an optimal yield in the cracking of large petroleum molecules and other catalytic conversions of large molecules.

Simultaneous bit error rate and distortion minimization in a communication system is achieved by utilizing information about the source encoding and exploiting the non-uniformity in Gray-coded constellations used for modulation.

This technology provides improved click chemistry methods for introducing functional groups onto polylactides, and for preparing substituted glycolides.

An alkali metal chalcogenide was developed that can reduce mercuric ions Hg²⁺ to below 1 part per billion (ppb), which is below US drinking water standards. The material appears to be the best performance for selectivity and capacity for removing mercury from water.

This invention provides systems and methods for fermenting biomass with transgenic plant material expressing the WRI1 transcription factor. The invention is useful for increasing the efficiency of plant oil production for biodiesel feedstock.
