Abstract: Weed seeds are destroyed in the chaff from a combine harvester by repeated high speed impacts caused by a rotor mounted in one of a pair of side by side housings which accelerate the discarded seeds in a direction centrifugally away from the rotor onto a stator including angularly adjustable stator surfaces around the axis. Thus the discarded seeds rebound back and forth between the rotor and the stator to provide a plurality of impacts. The seeds are carried axially of the rotor by a controlled airstream so that they move to an axial discharge location where a discharge fan is mounted. The angle of the discharge around the rotor axis can be changed to direct the seeds to the side of the combine away from a straw chopper, towards the guide fins of the tailboard of the chopper, or into the housing of the straw chopper.

Title: Temporary cover to foster cosmeticcally pleasing healing of nail bed tissue
IPC: A61B17/54
Filed: 1985-04-24
Abstract: The cover has the nature of a splint and/or mould which is adapted for temporary use on the injured digit of a person's hand or foot in order to foster beneficial healing after a nail plate has been removed. The cover or splint comprises a generally elongated sheet (12) of thin (i.e., 0.020 inch (0.5 mm)) polypropylene or the like, which is inert to body fluids. It has a generally compound curvature so that it approximates the natural shape of a human nail plate, and has on its lower surface a smooth, concave shape which is adapted for contacting the healing nail bed. The sheet has a proximal end (18) that is approximately perpendicular to the sides of said sheet, and the sheet has "square" corners which fit with-in the eponychial fold of the person's digit--for the purpose of preserving the fold and maintaining its size. The split also has a structure (20) depending from the two sides of the sheet for engaging the tissue of the person's nail bed; this structure (20) holds the tissue and inhibits it from contracting significantly during healing of the nail bed. The healing nail bed is restricted to taking on the smooth shape of the juxtaposed sheet as it heals, and a healed nail bed will have a size that tends to be almost as large as its pre-injured size.

Abstract: Complete and partial Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki 
HD-73 crystal protein protoxin genes were cloned into 
pRK290. E. coli cells harboring these recombinant plasmids 
produced protein that was toxic to Manduca sexta (tobacco 
hornworm) larvae. These plasmids were unstable in and 
inhibitory of the growth of Agrobacterium and Rhizobium cells; 
the presence of a complete protoxin gene being far more 
destabilizing and inhibitory than the presence of a partial 
protoxin gene. Rhizobium cells containing a partial protoxin 
gene formed root nodules in legume roots which were toxic to 
M. sexta larvae. Plasmids carrying complete protoxin genes 
were totally incompatable with root nodule formation; 
bacteroids in nodules formed by inoculation with stains con­
taining the complete gene did not contain the gene-carrying 
plasmid and nodules were not toxic to insect larvae. The 
invention provides methods to produce insecticidal protein 
by constructing partial protoxin genes followed by expression 
of the genes in bacteroids and Rhizobiaceae cells. Useful 
plasmids and cells are also provided.
