Abstract: Disclosed is a method of constructing a wild-species genomic library of chromosome fragments incorporated in a crop-species genome. First, a number of transformants for donor and recipient plant species is produced, carrying th e DNA constructs necessary for the exchange of chromosomal fragments mediated by site-specific recombination. The donor and recipient are chosen such that, upon sexual cross or somatic cell fusion, they produce unstable progeny or demonstrate preferential segregation or sorting out. Second, the crossing between donor and recipient species and formation of chromosomal recombinant s of donor and recipient plant species is induced. Third, taking advantage of the instability of hybrids between donor and recipient, recombinant cells an d plants of the recipient are selected which contain specific chromosome fragments of the donor species. Also disclosed are transgenic plants, libraries and breeding material produced by the methods.

Title: Portable traveler headrest
Inventor: GARCES MARTIN GERARDO
IPC: B60N2/48
Filed: 2002-06-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a portable traveler headrest comprising a device consisting of a support, two headrests and fixing means. The support comprises a bar that may be articulated so that it can be folded onto itself. The ends of said bar have transversal holes to fix the bar to the seat and to assemble and block the headrest. The fixing mechanism adapts to different thickness of the top edge of the seats and fixes the support to the backrest of the seats by pressure and at the desired height chosen by the user. The headrests, which comprise thin plates made of a rigid material and have a cushioned cover, can be connected, disconnected and rotated in discrete positions relative to the support due to the fact that the polygonal edge on one of its edges can be inserted with certain play through the holes in said support. The fixing mechanism is hingedly mounted in holes located on the support, thereby requiring little space for storing the assembly.

Inventor: ATTINGER ADRIAN
IPC: B66B7/10
Filed: 2004-01-27
Abstract: In this cable slackness monitoring device a pull cord (19) detects movement of support pins (13). In the case of a slack cable the support pin (13) moves, as is symbolised by the arrow (P1), downwardly relative to a carrier frame. Fixedly clamped between a nut (16) and a locknut (17) is a trigger element (20) which entrains the taut pull cord (19) in the case of movement (P1) of the support pin (13). The pull cord (19) is fixed at one end to a fixing point (21) of a bracket (22). The pull cord (19) is fixed at the other end to a displaceable slide. The deflection of the pull cord (19) caused by the movement (P1) of the support pin (13) is illustrated by a dashed line. With the deflection of the pull cord (19) the slide actuates a limit value detector.

Patent CA-2464708-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIZOTTE MARCEL
IPC: A22C29/04
Filed: 2004-04-19
Abstract: The separation of shell and meat, in the processing of bivalve molluscs has been a demanding task. The preliminary opening of the shell is resisted by the design of the animal. The efficient removal of the meat from the shell has historically required hand scraping at the shell-meat interface. The complete removal of shell from the meat, especially where the opening has been done by mechanical smashing, is complicated by visibility of the shards.    Competitive methods of ultra-high pressure and thermal blast are needlessly expensive, slow, and dangerous when compared to this method.
