Research team gets grant to study precision chemical thinning of apple blossoms

One of the most traditionally time-consuming, labor-intensive processes of apple production is blossom thinning, which involves manually pruning flowers so that remaining blooms can reclaim the plant’s resources to grow better fruit. More recently, the process has shifted to broad chemical spraying, which can have harmful environmental impacts. To assist producers and mitigate environmental harm, the USDA has awarded a three-year, $601,125 grant to a team of Penn State researchers for the development of a robotic precision spraying system.

CIS Standard BOM to Excel 365

I'm not able to export a CIS Standard BOM to a Microsoft 365 Excel (business subscription, version 2111).
Selecting the "Export BOM report to Excel" option opens a new Excel window, but OrCAD (17.4-2019 S023) won't fill it with any data...

I tried it on a different PC with Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2019 Excel (strangely the version number is the same: 2111) and with OrCAD 17.4-2019 S016 and it worked flawlessly.

Does anybody experiencing the same issue?
Does the Excel variant, the OrCAD version or the PC itself causing this?
Thanks for any help!

Cisco's utilities library donation

Dear users,
Cisco has graciously agreed to donate a library of several utilities packages to the e community. Please refer to the LIBRARY_README.txt for general information, and to each of the packages' PACKAGE_README.txt file for more information on each package. The tar file containing the utilities library is attached to this message.

The zip file containing informational slides on Cisco's utility library packages is also attached. The zip file is 9 mg so may take a bit to download.  The file is too big to fit on this post, so the unzipped files are posted in three separate entries below.

For your convenience, we have also extracted the document “Directory Structure.doc” from the csco_base_env/docs location.
 
Note: The library contains the csco_testflow package, adding phases to e's run phase. Cadence strongly encourages Customers to adopt the testflow phases feature that Cadence is releasing in Specman6.2. The new phases in e will be similar to the phases defined in the csco_testflow package, but will be a formal part of the e language. For more information please contact IPCM@cadence.com.
