Filed: 1987-09-01
Abstract: A multi-function integrally molded plastic fastener (10) for insertion within a hole in a wall for fastening objects to any of solid, thick or thin hollow walls. The fastener (10) comprises a base element (1) and an anchoring element with the base element (1) being positioned within the hole and depending whether the wall is solid, thick or thin hollow wall, the anchoring element is positioned totally within, partially within and totally behind the wall respectively. The anchoring element is comprised of outstretched anchoring arms (4) which are collapsible for insertion within the hole and which arms have interfitting sections of a sinusoidal wave configuration (10a, 11a, 10b, 11b) to minimize the cross section of the anchoring element and the width required for the hole.

Title: Pulpwood preparation; a chip destructuring apparatus is used to process wood chips for digestion, apparatus details
Inventor: ADAMS JAMES E
IPC: D21B1/02
Filed: 1994-12-22
Abstract: Methods for processing wood chips for digestion utilize a chip destructuring apparatus. The method includes an initial disc screen for removing the gross overthick and oversized chips which are discarded or are processed through a rechipper. After the initial disc screen, the entire stream of chips is processed to eliminate tramp metal. The entire chip stream is screened to remove fines. The stream of chips is fed to the chip destructuring apparatus from a surge bin with a star feeder.

Title: Process for obtaining plant DNA fragment and use thereof using a RDA analysis step
Inventor: HIBINO TAKASHI
IPC: C12N15/00
Filed: 1999-11-24
Abstract: The specification describes a process for providing a plant DNA fragment useful as a target or indicator for plant breeding. The method involves the identification of desirable gene or genes responsible for desired properties or characteristics. To obtain such a DNA fragment, DNA subtraction is carried out between genomic DNA fragments derived from plants having different properties such as a tree having a high growth rate and a tree having a low growth rate to find a gene (DNA) responsible for growth rate.  The resulting DNA from the subtraction step is subjected to a screening using an RNA-probe as a second step.  The process provides a DNA fragment from a coding region, rather than the less useful non-coding region.

Patent NZ-528310-A (NZ)
Title: Fiber reinforced cement composite materials using chemically treated fibers with improved dispersibility
Inventor: LUO CAIDIAN
IPC: C04B20/00
Filed: 2002-02-22
Abstract: A fiber-reinforced building that incorporates fibers such as cellulose fibers that are chemically treated with a dispersant to impart improved dispersibility to the fibers is disclosed. The fibers are treated with a dispersant which deactivates the hydroxyl sites of the fiber surfaces and in some cases, making the fiber surface more hydrophobic. The dispersant inhibits the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose fiber surface from bonding with hydroxyl groups of other fibers and from bonding with hydroxyl groups of the same fiber, thereby significantly reducing inter-fiber and intra-fiber hydrogen bonding. The treated fibers can be readily dispersed and uniformly distributed throughout a mixture without re-clustering or reclumping once the mechanical mixing action stops. The chemically treated fibers with improved dispersibility improve the fiber distribution and reinforcing efficiency, which in turn improves key physical and mechanical properties of the material such as the modulus of rupture, Z-direction tensile strength, material toughness, and surface finishes. With improved fiber reinforcing efficiency, less dosage of fiber is needed to achieve the required physical and mechanical properties.
