Animal feed compositions containing phytase derived from transgenic alfalfa and methods of use thereof

Patent Austin-Phillips, Sandra [Madison, WI]; Koegel, Richard G [Madison, WI]; Straub, Richard J [Brooklyn, WI]; ...

A value-added composition of matter containing plant matter from transgenic alfalfa which expresses exogenous phytase activity is disclosed. The phytase activity is a gene product of an exogenous gene encoding for phytase which has been stably incorporated into the genome of alfalfa plants. The transgenic alfalfa expresses phytase activity in nutritionally-significant amounts, thereby enabling its use in animal feeds to eliminate the need for phosphorous supplementation of livestock, poultry, and fish feed rations.

Electronic devices containing switchably conductive silicon oxides as a switching element and methods for production and use thereof

Patent Tour, James M; Yao, Jun; Natelson, Douglas; ...

In various embodiments, electronic devices containing switchably conductive silicon oxide as a switching element are described herein. The electronic devices are two-terminal devices containing a first electrical contact and a second electrical contact in which at least one of the first electrical contact or the second electrical contact is deposed on a substrate to define a gap region therebetween. A switching layer containing a switchably conductive silicon oxide resides in the the gap region between the first electical contact and the second electrical contact. The electronic devices exhibit hysteretic current versus voltage properties, enabling their use in switching and memorymore »« less
