the regulating plates (34) rotate, springs (43) for 
biasing the arm members (37) in the projecting 
directions of the separating needles (39), and cams 
(45) for moving the separating needles (39) penetrating 
in the potted seedlings (2) generally at a right angle 
with respect to and apart from the joint plane of the 
potted seedlings (2), as cam receiving portions (44)

without being affected thereby.
Patent EP-0269010-A3 (EP)
Title: Stitching head
IPC: B27F7/21
Filed: 1987-11-20
Abstract: The stitching head (1) for a wire stitching machine contains a guiding device (7), held next to the material to be stitched, for a staple guide (9) which is guided longitudinally displaceably in the device and, when driving in the staple (3) in its working stroke, is movable towards the material to be stitched (2) and subsequently, in its idle stroke, is movable away from it. Arranged longitudinally displaceably in the staple guide (9) is the staple driver (18) which, in order to expel the staple (3) held by the staple guide (9) and guided in the latter and in order to drive the staple (3) into the material to be stitched (2), is likewise movable towards the material to be stitched (2) in its working stroke and subsequently movable away from the material to be stitched (2) in the idle stroke. A driving device (45,48) having a crank mechanism (33) produces the synchronised movements of the staple guide (9) and of the staple driver (18), necessary for driving in the staple (3). In order that the staple is not expelled from the staple guide (9) prematurely, or before the staple guide (9) is sufficiently close to the material to be stitched (2), the crank mechanism (46) contains, in its mechanism trains, in order to actuate the staple guide (9) and/or the staple driver (18), a superposition mechanism (54,56) which allows the staple guide (9), at the beginning of its working stroke, to advance towards the material to be stitched (2) ahead of the staple driver (18). <IMAGE>

Title: Process for preventing the development and multiplication of harmful germs in the water of a sanitary hot water system, and applicances therefor
IPC: C02F1/02
Filed: 1987-12-03
Abstract: The process is intended for the above purpose and for improving the circulation of the sanitary water. This is achieved by the lowermost level of sanitary water, of the lowest temperature, in the system being regulated and controlled when it drops to a temperature level conducive for germs, for the purpose of raising the temperature level in the cold water part of the system from the higher-temperature warm water part of the volume of sanitary water itself, or thermal energy is fed in from outside until the temperature level adverse for germs is reached. In the case of a so-called sanitary water circulation installation, the volume of sanitary water in the system is briefly heated in dependence on predetermined time intervals to a temperature level adverse for germs and pumped around in the system at least once at the latest when this temperature level is reached.

IPC: F16D65/28
Filed: 1987-04-28
Abstract: A force actuator comprising an output member (1) movable 
from a first position to a second output-force-exerting 
position; first operating means (2) connected by a first 
transmission path (3) to the output member (1), and second 
operating means (20) connected by a second transmission path (23) 
to the output member (1); the ratio of the transmission 
paths, (3,23), the inertia of the respective transmission paths (3,23) 
and the operating means (2,20) connected thereto and the 
accelerating force capable of being generated by the 
respective operating means (2,20) and transmitted via the 
transmission path (2,23) connected thereby to the output 
member (1) all collectively being such that, with the 
output member (1) in its first position, simultaneous 
initiation of the operating means (2,20) causes the first 
operating means (2) to constitute the prime means by which 
the output member (1) is moved to its second position and, 
when in that second position, the second operating 
means (20) constitutes the prime means by which the output 
member (1) is caused to exert the output force.

Abstract: A crystalline component of a crystalline 
composition is obtained in a concentrated state by 
raising the temperature of said composition to cause 
melting thereof enabling impurities of a different 
density to said component to be drained; allowing said 
composition to recrystallize; and placing the

IPC: G01N33/569
Filed: 1987-11-18
Abstract: A method of detecting the presence of a plant antigen in or on a 
plant, e.g. the detection of Grapevine Virus A, includes 
immobilising a coating antibody to GVA on a surface, bringing an 
extract of the grapevine into contact with the coating antibody to 
allow the GVA which may be present in the grapevine extract to be 
bound by the coating antibody, bringing a detecting antibody to GVA 
into contact with the bound GVA to allow the GVA to be bound to the 
detecting antibody, bringing a bridging antibody into contact with 
the detecting antibody to allow the bridging antibody to be bound 
to the detecting antibody, bringing an enzyme anti-enzyme antibody 
complex (e.g. PAP) into contact with the detecting antibody to 
allow the enzyme anti-enzyme antibody complex to be bound to the 
bridging antibody, bringing a substrate for the enzyme into contact 
with the bound enzyme anti-enzyme antibody complex, and detecting 
any change of the substrate. This method provides increased 
sensitivity, reproducibility and simplicity.

Title: Method for storing pre-organised groups of related information files in a data processing system
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 1988-11-09
Abstract: A data processing method for storing groups of related information in a 
storage subsystem of a data processing system in which the storage 
subsystem includes one or more storage devices having a plurality of block 
addressable storage locations (blocks or sectors) each of which stores a 
predetermined fixed number of bytes of said information. The method 
includes the step of establishing allocatable increments of storage, 
called physical partitions, which comprise a predetermined number of 
contiguous addressable blocks, and initially allocating, in response to a 
request to the operating system, a preselected number of partitions for 
each group of related information, where the partitions in each group are 
not necessarily physically contiguous and where the number that is 
selected is the minimum number of partitions required to store the group 
of related information. The method further includes the step of 
automatically allocating one or more additional partitions, located 
physically on any device, to a previously allocated group of related 
partitions, dynamically in response to another request of the operating 
system. A group of partitions that have been allocated to store a group of 
related information, such as individual files that are related in a 
hierarchical file system, is called a "Logical Volume". Logical Volumes 
may be further combined for administration and data management reasons 
into a "Volume Group".
