Abstract: Apparatus for stopping articles moving along a path comprises a support, and first and second stop members mounted on the support for movement generally transversely of the path alternately toward each other to stop movement of an article along the path and away from each other to permit movement of an article past the first and second stop members.  A pair of wheels are positioned beyond the limits of travel of the first and second stop members away from each other.  A roller chain is trained about the wheels and has first and second bights extending generally transversely of the path.  The first stop member is coupled to the first bight, and the second stop member is coupled to the second bight.  A prime mover is coupled to the chain.  Actuation of the prime mover in a first direction causes the chain to move the first and second stop members toward each other and actuation of the prime mover in a second direction causes the chain to move the first and second stop members away from each other.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un conditionnement, une bande et une cassette jetables permettant de contenir et de disperser à partir de celles-ci des formulations liquides coulantes y compris des formulations aqueuses (solutions ou dispersions à particules d'un diamètre inférieur à 0,25 microns) d'un médicament pharmaceutiquement actif. Dans un mode de réalisation, la formulation est conditionnée dans des emballages à unité posologique individuelle, lesquels emballages sont de préférence reliés entre eux. Le conditionnement est conçu pour être intégré dans une cassette, laquelle peut être chargée dans un dispositif distributeur capable d'ouvrir individuellement des emballages à unités posologiques et d'en libérer le contenu sous une forme d'aérosol à travers une membrane poreuse, dans un embout buccal situé sur la cassette, pour permettre une administration au patient. En plus de chaque membrane poreuse et le long de celle-ci, le conditionnement peut inclure une ou plusieurs ouvertures à travers lesquelles de l'air est pulsé afin d'aider à éviter l'accumulation de particules produites par l'aérosol. Le conditionnement peut être configuré de manière que la formulation est contenue dans un emballage non positionné directement vertical par rapport à la membrane poreuse et au-dessous de celle-ci, ce qui rend nécessaire de canaliser horizontalement la formulation vers la membrane poreuse, et permet d'inclure un mécanisme vibrant directement au-dessous d'une chambre recouverte de la membrane poreuse. La libération du médicament sous forme d'aérosol est actionnée par la respiration sur la base de mesures simultanées du flux et du volume inspiratoire, de manière à fournir au patient un dosage réitérable du médicament.

Abstract: In a computer for executing a computer program, ap- paratus and a method for updating information within a computer program instruction without interrupting execu- tion of the computer program.  The apparatus contains a memory (108) for storing the information within the in- struction at an address within the memory (108), circuitry (102, 106, 110) for altering, between periodic accesses to the memory (108) by the accessing circuitry, the informa- tion stored in the memory (108). In this manner, computer program execution is not interrupted to alter information within the instruction.  Typically, the information is a data field value contained within a computer microcode instruc- tion.  Consequently, the data field value is updated, but other information within the instruction such as an opera- tional code (OPcode), is not altered by the updated opera- tion.

Abstract: A novel seed coat specific peroxidase genomic sequence is characterized and presented. Adjacent DNA regulatory regions have also been characterized. The seed coat peroxidase is translated as a 352 amino acid precursor protein of 38 kDa comprising a 26 amino acid signal sequence which when cleaved results in a 35 kDa protein. Plants containing a dominant Ep allele accumulate large amounts of peroxidase in the hourglass cells of the subepidermis. Homozygous recessive epep genotypes do not accumulate peroxidase in the hourglass cells and are much reduced in total seed coat peroxidase activity. Probes derived from the cDNA, or genomic DNA can be used to detect polymorphisms that distinguished EpEp and epep genotypes. Cosegregation of the polymorphisms in an F2 population from a cross of EpEp and epep plants shows that the Ep locus encodes the seed coat peroxidase protein. Comparison of Ep and ep alleles indicates that the recessive gene lacks 87 bp of sequence encompassing the translation start codon. The heterologous expression, as well as vectors and hosts to be used for the expression of the seed coat peroxidase, are also disclosed. The seed-specific DNA regulatory region may be used to control expression of genes of interest such as i) genes encoding herbicide resistance, or ii) biological control of insects or pathogens (e.g. B. thuringiensis), or iii) viral coat proteins to protect against viral infections, or iv) proteins of commercial interest (e.g.  pharmaceutical), and v) proteins that alter the nutritive value, taste, or processing of seeds.

Abstract: Apparatus for raising and lowering a pivoting toilet member mounted on top of a toilet bowl that is part of a flushing toilet equipped with a water tank.  Apparatus includes first and second weights, the first weight being connectible to the toilet member and provided to raise the toilet member, the second weight being adapted for mounting in the water tank and provided to lower the toilet member.  The second weight is connected to the toilet member by a connecting mechanism which includes an elongate, flexible member capable of extending from the second weight inside the water tank to a connecting point outside the water tank.  A holding mechanism releasably holds the connecting mechanism, which prevents the toilet member from pivoting from a lowered position to a raised position until the holding mechanism is disengaged.  If the toilet member is in a raised position when the toilet is flushed, the toilet member will move to its lowered position due to downward movement of said second weight.
