Abstract: A method and an arrangement for controlling the feed of a rock drill. In the method, the pressure in a pressure conduit (7a) of a a pressure-fluid-operated feed motor (6) is measured, and when the pressure value measured is below the pre-set threshold value, the volume flow of the pressure fluid delivered to the feed motor and thereby the feed rate of the feed motor (6) are adjusted, and when the pressure value measured is above the pre-set threshold value, the feed is adjusted by adjusting the pressure of the pressure fluid delivered to the feed motor (6). In the arrangement, a pressure detector (13) is arranged in the pressure conduit (7a) of the feed motor (6). The detector is arranged to control the feed of the pressure fluid delivered to the feed mot or (6) in such a way that when the pressure is below the pre-set threshold value, the feed is controlled by adjusting the volume flow of the pressure fluid and, correspondingly, when the pressure value is above the pre-set threshold value, the pressure detector adjusts the feed of the pressure fluid according to the pressure of the pressure fluid.

Granted: 2007-04-24
Abstract: Apparatus is provided for removing a crimped ring from plastic tubing installed over the nipple of a fitting. A supporting jaw radially supports the crimped ring while a chisel cuts the ring on a tangential path. One embodiment uses a pair of levers joined and pivoted intermediate their ends. One lever forms the supporting jaw while the other forms the chisel. When actuated, the cutting jaw cuts the ring on a path tangent to the inside circumference of the ring, thereby avoiding injury to the fitting, the fitting therefore being reusable.

Title: Method of hybrid seed production using conditional female sterility
Inventor: HARPER STACY MARIE
IPC: A01H5/00
Filed: 1998-02-27
Granted: 2014-09-30
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for hybrid seed production comprising producing a conditional female sterile plant comprising a female-preferential promoter operably linked to a coding sequence which encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of a protoxin to a toxin, interplanting the conditional female sterile plant with a male sterile plant, applying the protoxin to the conditional female sterile plant, and producing hybrid seed. Viable seed formation is prevented on the conditional female sterile plant as a result of the conversion of the protoxin to the toxin in the female reproductive structures, and pollen production is prevented on the male sterile plant, thus allowing interplanting of the two parents of the hybrid cross in order to provide more efficient pollen transfer. Also provided are expression cassettes useful in the invention, plants transformed with the expression cassette, and novel female-preferential promoters.

Granted: 2006-09-12
Abstract: Le procédé de la présente invention consiste à classer les connexions en au moins deux classes de connexions en fonction de ce que demandent ces connexions en matière de délai de transmission. Le système de gestion du sous-système station de base, qui tient à jour un état des besoins de transmission des utilisateurs en communication dans les différentes classes, utilise cet état pour répartir les ressources radio disponibles en créneaux de capacité appropriée. Dans le cas de connexions très exigeantes en ce qui concerne les délais de transmission, ce sont des connexions à commutation de circuits qui sont affectées avec une largeur de bande à gestion dynamique. Ensuite, à partir du groupe de ressources restant non affectées après l'affectation des ressources aux connexions à commutation de circuit, le procédé consiste à prendre une quantité suffisante de ressources sur la base d'une affectation de durée limitée pour chaque période d'affectation, et de les affecter à des connexions plus tolérantes concernant les délais, et ce, de façon à réaliser la transmission, notamment d'une quantité définie de données.
