Abstract: Méthode de production de plantes transformées de manière homogène et capables de transmettre un gène étranger à leur descendance par reproduction sexuelle. On introduit un gène étranger dans le zygote à l'intérieur d'un sac embryonnaire isolé et on récupère une plante transformée. Dans une variante, on introduit un gène étranger dans une cellule-oeuf à l'intérieur d'un sac embryonnaire isolé, on féconde la cellule-oeuf avec une cellule spermatique isolée et on récupère une plante transformée. On peut également transformer les cellules spermatiques à l'aide d'un gène étranger, après quoi on féconde une cellule-oeuf à l'intérieur d'un sac embryonnaire avec les cellules spermatiques transformées, ou avec des noyaux isolés à partir des cellules spermatiques transformées, et on récupère une plante transgénique. Un autre procédé de production de plantes transgéniques consiste à transformer un embryon dans un sac embryonnaire isolé. La plante transgénique produite par l'un quelconque de ces procédés est transformée de manière homogène et capable de transmettre le gène étranger à sa descendance par reproduction sexuelle.

Abstract: A biomechanical heart comprising extra-aortic diastolic balloon pumping means consisting of a pump housing (7) arranged between two ducts (5, 9) of an aortic shunt (6) actuated by a muscle (8) energised by electric pulses. A balloon (15) with a substantially ring-shaped cross-section is inserted between the inner walls of the pump housing (7) to define an axial channel (17) communicating with said ducts (5, 9) of the aortic shunt (6). Said channel is connected via a flexible tube (19) to means (20) for injecting a gas flow into said balloon (15) to inflate same and thus reduce the cross-sectional area of flow of the axial channel (17), then deflating said balloon to increase said cross-sectional area of flow of the axial channel (17).

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/DE97/01792 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 16, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 16, 1999 PCT Filed Aug. 14, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/07640 PCT Pub. Date Feb. 26, 1998The collection of household refuse using multichamber refuse containers poses problems if automatic container grippers are used since the section lids of the container can no longer be opened manually before the container is tipped into the vehicle. In particular in the case of multichamber refuse containers having a partition which is attached perpendicularly to the axis of rotation of the container lid in the container, there is the risk that as the refuse is being tipped into the vehicle, the section lids of the container will collide with the partition of the vehicle and therefore will not open completely. The patent specification proposes various means, such as changing the geometry of the axis of rotation of the section lids, or curved control means attached to the refuse container.
