Patent EP-1393615-A1 (EP)
Inventor: HIROSE ISAMU
IPC: A01G1/00
Filed: 2001-06-01
Abstract: A method for increasing the yield of leguminous
products in a manner unaffected by weather is provided.
According to the method, a leguminous plant is allowed to
grow as it is up to a certain stage of cultivation. When
podding begins, lateral branches and leaves on the branches,
which absorb nutrients in a large amount, are eliminated so
that nutrients can be utilized exclusively for growing pods
containing seeds. Thus, the method accelerates ripening of
pods and ripens seeds borne in pods growing on up to upper
branches. After germination of sown seeds of a leguminous
plant and subsequent growth of seedlings, when podding
begins on the lowermost branch, branches extending outward
as viewed from the pods are cut off together with leaves on
the branches, thereby allowing intensive utilization of
nutrients for ripening pods containing seeds.

Abstract: A fitment is described for use with a container such as a paperboard carton, having an operable section such as a removable disc surrounded by a pre-scored track. The fitment comprises a housing (3) secured to the container surrounding the removable disc (14). A central section (10) is attached to the disc (14), and to the housing (3) by means of arms (18) such that it can adopt either one of two bistable positions. Unscrewing of a closure (4) causes the central section (10) to flip from one of its bistable positions to the other, pushing the removable disc in to the carton to provide an opening therein. The disc (14) remains attached to the central section (10), laterally displaced from its original position, to act as a flow regulator to prevent 'glugging' when liquid product exits the carton.

Abstract: Seed tape (1) for a controlled germinating process comprises successively arranged germinating units (1, 1b, 1c). The seed tape is made of at least two paper layers (1' and 1'') and is intended to be used while placed edgewise. Each germinating unit includes a seed (5), additives (6) and a carrier (8). Each germinating unit (1<u>a</u>, 1<u>b</u>, 1<u>c</u>, 1<u>d</u>) is formed as a planar member. The longitudinal axis of each planar member extends substantially transverse to the longitudinal direction of the tape. The additives (6) and the carrier (8) are available in form of granulates and are placed in discrete locations around the seed (5), air applying between said seed and the additives (6) and the carrier (8). The seed, the additives and the carrier are adhered to the inner face of at least one paper layer (1'), which is air-permeable. A narrow stripe (10) of water-absorbing, super-absoring polymer (SAP) is placed on the adhesive layer of at least one paper layer (1' or 1''), said stripe extending at least to one rim of the seed tape and also passing across the seed (5) or past said seed at a short distance. The resulting seed tape presents a very simple structure and is accordingly simple to manufacture, and it is particularly suited for providing a controlled moist microclimate around the seeds during a two-step germinating process, said process simultaneously ensuring sufficient air around the seeds and the developing radicles.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for operating one of a plurality of lamps employed within a luminaire via a single ballast, thereby extending the operational life of the luminaire. The operating lamp disables the lamps downstream from itself by preventing current from conducting through lamps other than the operating lamp. The lamps upstream from the operating lamp typically lack a sufficient voltage for ignition and operation. However, if any of the upstream lamps begin to operate, the lamps operating downstream cease to operate. In the event that two lamps begin to operate in an asymmetric manner, a capacitor is preferably provided to maintain a reverse voltage with respect to the output of the ballast, thus ensuring reduced voltage across the rectified lamps until one lamp extinguishes and the second lamp begins to operate.
