Abstract:

An artificial seed has a powder structure or powder padded layer as a sealing material for anti-contamination purpose. This powder layer, 2-30 mm preferably 5-20 mm in thickness, consists of numerous fine sandy hydrophobic particles. The openings among the particles are small and winding enough to block micro-organisms from penetrating this dry and nutrientless layer into the seed, but not enough to block the needed oxygen. The hydrophobic nature of the particles is also effective to block water permeation and microbes therein, but not effective to block the tissue to grow out of the seed. The powder layer can cover any exposed part of the artificial seed. For the artificial seeds with a water-proof tough shell, the powder layer covers only the mouth or mouths of the shell. But for those with a water-soluble capsule, or water-soluble film, it covers all over the contents of the seeds. In both cases, the powder layer is again covered with the water-soluble film to kept the powder particles in position.

Abstract:

The disclosure herein describes generating an application from input content. Input content of a content type is obtained, such as an image file, digital document file, or the like. A content data extractor is selected from a set of content data extractors based on the content type. A set of content entities is extracted from the obtained input content using the selected content data extractor, such as text labels, text boxes, buttons, or the like. The set of content entities are normalized according to a standard interface schema and an application template is generated using the normalized set of content entities, whereby an application can be developed using the generated application template. The disclosure enables application interfaces to be designed using a variety of methods and for those different types of designs to be efficiently converted to a functional application.
