I think most of these seeds are modified in a way that they don't reproduce. This is what creates the dependency of farmers, they have a well growing plant with good harvest, but need to buy the seeds year for year.
The problem discussed in the article is that people that develop new plants are working under a high uncertainty, as big cooperations have patented a variety of plants and could make claims that some of their "inventions" have been used to develop new one or that new development look the same than their patented "development".
I think patents were a good idea then we used to have many small companies. But in today's economy it is overly used and slowing down innovation instead of making innovation attractive for inventors.
I save you the clock bait. It's a ring to monitor sleep patterns. But it's a prototype for now (a well working one).
On a side note, I think the pricing is insane.
In fairness, all words seem pretty important in this sentence.
Seems like a smart function. I would not feel safe in a Boeing at the moment.
Same for ACM. I think it's good as it's easier to read. But sometimes I still write names (e.g. as Mueller et al. points out, the color blue is actually red [666]), to highlight something. But that's maybe for 5 out of 100 sources.
