Abstract: A thin profile drawer slide apparatus for slidably supporting a heavy drawer in furniture, comprising symmetrical, identical channel members for slidably attaching the apparatus to a drawer and an article of furniture, a plurality of bearings slidably retained in the channel members by bearing retainers, and by an intermediate slide member. The intermediate slide member comprises the unitarily formed combination of a generally vertical central wall, a first bearing raceway joined to an end of the central wall, and a second bearing raceway joined to an arcuate wall extending angularly outwardly from the first bearing raceway, whereby the first and second bearing raceways are vertically and angularly separated. The ball bearings are arranged in four linear, slightly offset sets. Use of a single intermediate slide member with raceways for four separate sets of bearings provides a thin, strong drawer slide for carrying heavy loads. In an alternate embodiment, the central wall of the intermediate slide member comprises a generally rectangular window with a progression roller mounted therein on a vertical axis of rotation. The roller exerts friction on the inner faces of the channel members by compression against the inner faces when the roller is moved. Edges of window act as a detent on the roller and also urge the slide closed when the slide is brought to rest with the roller against one of the edges. The windows relieve compression of the roller when the slide is fully closed. <IMAGE>

After opening of the dies, the foodstuff is removed by means of the protruding portions of the foil layers and is subsequently cooled to solidification temperature. The excess foodstuff quantity located outside of the contour of the shaped body formed by the foodstuff is then broken off from the shaped body and the two foil layers are removed.

Abstract: This device consists of a chamber (1) standing at a certain height and supported by four legs (4). The chamber (1) has a window (2), through which the refuse is thrown. A type of press is installed at the top of the chamber (1), and the piston (5) of this press extends a prescribed distance, exerting pressure on the refuse by means of a compression plate (6), when the refuse accumulates to a level above the lowest point of the piston's extension. As the rubbish continues to accumulate it is further compressed, until the resistance opposed to the compression plate (6) exceeds the pressure exerted on the rubbish. The piston (5) then returns to its initial position, without having reached maximum extension. When the compressed refuse reaches a certain upper limit, which is determined visually through the window, then the bottom (3) of the chamber (1) is opened, and the compact block of refuse is collected and hermetically sealed in a sturdy plastic bag. The bottom opening is then closed, and the apparatus is once again ready for use.

Abstract: Tissue impedance or tissue impedance in combination with tissue temperature is used to control electrosurgical tissue treatment. Tissue impedance alone provides better control of electrosurgical treatment by determining an initial maximum tissue impedance, a minimum tissue impedance selecting a point between the maximum and minimum impedances, preferably the average, as an impedance threshold, and turning off rf power to the electrosurgical instrument when the impedance reaches the threshold as it rises from the minimum. Control may also be by the combination of tissue impedance and temperature. Temperature is controlled to maintain a selected preferred temperature and a maximum temperature is also selected so that if the tissue reaches the maximum temperature, power is turned off. Impedance control is combined with temperature control so that the temperature of the instrument is maintained at a selected preferred temperature unless a maximum temperature is exceeded, which normally will not happen. The impedance is also monitored with maximum and minimum values being determined as well as a threshold impedance between the max and the min. When the threshold, preferably the average impedance, is reached, power is removed from the instrument.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) system for plants, which is based on modification of the plastid genome. The CMS system comprises three transgenes: a "plastid male sterility" (pms) gene, regulated by a "nuclear male sterility" (rims) gene and a "restorer of male fertility" (rmf) gene. The pms gene is either an inactive gene encoding a toxic gene product or an actively expressed gene encoding an essential gene product. The runs gene is controlled by an anther-specific promoter, and encodes a plastid-directed polypeptide that regulates the pms gene, either by activating expression of the inactive toxic pms gene or by repressing expression of the essential pms gene, which causes plastid and cellular disablement or death in anther tissue, thereby preventing formation of viable pollen. The rmf gene encodes a gene product that prevents the rims gene from regulating the pms gene. Cytoplasmically male-sterile plants are obtained by crossing a parent line containing the pms gene with a parent line containing the nms gene. Male-fertile hybrid seed is obtained from crosses between the cytoplasmically male-sterile plants and a second parent line containing the rmf gene.
