Any other URs?

				I also had a one-stepper, a very simple AIC loop that exploited a couple of those 49 bivalues:
 
(4=9)r3c1 - (9)r8c1=(9-4)r9c2=(4)r7c1 - (4=9)r3c1:Loop; r45c1<>49
 
 
Actually, it was very easy to see.  Each digit of the r9c2 49 has a conjugate link in b7 to the c1 segment of b7.  This creates a 49 pseudocell in r78c1 and, in effect, a hidden 49 pair in c1.  It is akin to a Sue de Coq, or perhaps a sort of gM-Wing folded back on itself. |

				Oh good, Asellus introduced loops.
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		   (*) strong links on (5): [c1] & [b7]
 
 (@) strong links on (6): [c1] & [b7]
 
 
 (5)r4c1 = (5)r7c1 - (5=6)r9c3 - (6)r8c2 = (6)r4c1 => [r4c1]<>479
 
 +------------------------------------------------------------------------+

 |  49      5      1      |  6      8      3      |  7      49     2      |
 
 |------------------------+-----------------------+-----------------------|
 
 | *56-479@ 249    456    |  28     3      1467   |  149    479    58     |

 # 51 eliminations remain

As a friendly forcing net:
 
 
 	  | Code: | 	 		   [r9c3]=5 [r7c1]<>5 [r4c1]=5
 
                             => [r4c1]<>479
 
 [r9c3]=6 [r8c1]<>6 [r4c1]=6
