Title: Pathogen-resistant transgenic plants
Inventor: CONKLING MARK A
IPC: A01H1/00
Filed: 1992-10-02
Abstract: Recombinant pathogen-resistant plants comprise transformed plant cells, with the transformed plant cells containing a heterologous DNA construct comprising an expression cassette. The construct comprises a promoter, a structural gene positioned downstream from the promoter, and a termination sequence such as the nos terminator positioned downstream from the structural gene. The promoter is one which is activated by a plant pathogen which attacks the plant, such as the RB7 nematode-responsive element. The structural gene encodes a product such as Barnase which is toxic to the plant cells.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide an access system which can accommodate constant bit rate data irrespective of the traffic conditions and which also allows accommodation of variable bit rate data at a high circuit utilization efficiency. The access system is constructed such that a master station first performs allocation of transmission right for constant bit rate data to all of slave stations for each transmission period for constant bit rate data. The master station does not immediately perform allocation but reserves requests for transmission right for variable bit rate data, and after allocation of transmission right for constant bit rate data to all of the slave stations, the master station allocates the requests for transmission right for variable bit rate data to non-used regions within the transmission period.

Abstract: It has been possible to demonstrate clearly both in umbilical cord blood samples and after the separation of pregnancy blood that the combination of the triple gradient and MACS with anti-CD71 marked cells is a very effective method of enriching nucleated erythrocytes. The proportion of nucleated erythrocytes in the umbilical cord blood was between 72 and 89 % after both enrichment methods. It has been possible to detect nucleated erythrocytes in the posivite fraction according to the triple gradient and MACS in all cases in pregnant women at various gestation stages. The variation in the number of enriched nucleated erythrocytes in various pregnancies very probably reflects individual differences in the foeto-maternal cell ratio at various stages in pregnancy. The process described here makes it possible in normal male blood and that of non-pregnant women to demonstrate no nucleated erythrocytes, by contrast with pregnant women at various stages of gestation. The method is also highly reproducible and suitable for clinical diagnosis. With fluorescence $i(in situ) hybridisation it has been possible to detect a foetal trisomia in all three cases investigated. The enrichment of nucleated erythrocytes is thus strong enough to diagnose infantile aneuploids using fluorescence $i(in situ) hybridisation. It is therefore obvious that it is possible with this only slightly invasive and relatively simple and economical method to conduct screening examinations for three of the most important trisomias (13, 18 and 21) and monogenic diseases (with the aid of the PCR) with virtually no risk to the patient and the child.

Abstract: Avant qu'un robot n'effectue un soudage par points, une instruction de mise sous pression est envoyée à un pistolet à souder et le temps écoulé avant le renvoi d'un signal d'achèvement de la mise sous pression est mesuré à l'intérieur du robot, la valeur ainsi mesurée étant alors stockée sous la forme du temps nécessaire à la mise sous pression (TO). Ensuite, lors de l'exécution du soudage par points, le temps (secondes, T) écoulé entre le début et la fin du positionnement du robot est calculé. Par la suite, le point de départ de la mise sous pression du pistolet à souder est déterminé de telle façon que l'instant d'achèvement de la mise sous pression soit conforme à l'instant d'achèvement du positionnement du robot, en fonction de ces calculs. Par conséquent, on peut raccourcir la durée de travail en évitant tout temps mort après la fin du positionnement.
