Abstract: The present invention provides a method for the production of hybrid wheat based on the ability to stably maintaining a genic male-sterile female parental line of common and durum wheat It also provides a male-sterile female line homozygous for a recessive male-sterility allele and for a dominant pollen-killing allele, and a maintainer line which is readily and stably propagated. The maintainer line is isogenic to the female line but has an alien engineered chromosome carrying a dominant male-fertility allele that restores fertility to the maintainer line, a recessive pollen-killing allele that is susceptible to the killing effect of the native pollen killer thus preventing transmission of this chromosome to the female line, and one or more selectable markers that facilitate the maintenance of the maintainer itself. The invention also provides procedures for converting any desired cultivar into male-sterile female line and into a maintainer line.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing grain oriented electric sheets. In this method, a steel slab is first of all heated to a temperature below the solubility temperature of manganese sulphide but above the solubility temperature of copper sulphide, then heated through and finally hot-rolled at an initial temperature of at least 960  DEG C and a final temperature of 880-1000  DEG C, until a final thickness of the hot-rolled sheet of 1.5-7.0nm is obtained. The hot-rolled sheet is then annealed for 100-600s at a temperature of 880-1150  DEG C, cooled and cold-rolled. The cold-rolled band is annealed, during which decarbonization and recrystallization take place. After applying an MgO-containing separating agent, the cold-rolled band is annealed at high temperature, and, after applying an insulating coating, subjected to final annealing. The invention is characterized in that a steel slab with fine grain globulite structure is used, in which at least 90 % of the grains have a diameter of not more than 1/25 of the slab thickness, and an extension factor of at least 0.5.

Abstract: A safety system, such as for detecting obstructions in a window opening having a motor-slidable window glass (32) and for arresting the window glass in the presence of such an obstruction, comprises a glass-receiving channel (34). The base (48) defines a hollow chamber (60) incorporating a sensor (62). The sensor supports two substantially parallel longitudinally extending force-responsive sensing units (12, 14) each positioned immediately adjacent to a respective one of the side walls (44, 46) of the channel (34). If an obstruction in the window opening is carried upward by the slidable window pane (32), it will apply a force to the distal edge of one or both of the side walls (44, 46) and this force will be transmitted to the respective sensing unit (12, 14). Electrically conductive strips of the relevant sensing unit (12, 14) move into contact to produce an electrical signal which arrests the window glass. A third, similar, sensing unit (13) of the sensor (62) is positioned to produce a corresponding electrical signal when a force is applied to it by the distal edge of the closing window glass. This is used to indicate completion of travel of the window glass.

Abstract: The invention disclosed hereunder is a process and a device for the preparation and formation of a plastic weld connection between a workpiece (13) and a second component to be attached thereto by heating by means of a heating device (12). If force is applied, the heating element (12) tends to deform the contact surface especially in the case of hollow, thin-walled workpieces such as plastic containers. So far, methods were disclosed for the measuring of the degree of deformation by means of a sensor, subsequently readjusting the position of the heating device according to the determined deformation. The invention disclosed here under dispenses with any measurement of deformation, instead using an elastic element which automatically readjusts the position of the heating element (12) in the case of deformation of the workpiece (13) to effect a pre-load between the heating device (12) positioned at the contact surface of the work-piece (13) and the workpiece (13).

Abstract: A water and drinking device for pets which includes a water container, a flexible valve assembly removably secured to the outlet end of the container and a lapping pan. The water container is pivotally secured to the lapping pan by the valve assembly thereon such that the water container can be moved from a folded storage position wherein the container is partially encased within the pan to a serving position wherein the container is disposed in an inverted inclination above the pan. The valve assembly comprises a flexible valve member, an actuating arm projecting from the valve member and a water outlet slit disposed in a concave end wall of the valve member which is aligned perpendicularly with respect to the actuating arm. When the water container is moved to the serving position, the actuating arm on the valve member abuts the stop member in the lapping pan and flexes the valve member so as to slightly open the water outlet slit so as to allow air flow therethrough and provide pressure equalization within the container. The slit is sized so as to cooperate with the atmospheric pressure and surface tension of the water within the container interiorly of the slit so as to prevent water flow therethrough when the valve member is both in a flexed and unflexed disposition. Upon squeezing the container, water is forced from the container through the slit and into the lapping pan for consumption by the pet. Cessation of the squeezing action, however, causes a cessation of the water flow thereby providing a precise metering of the flow into the lapping pan and preventing leakage.
