Abstract: In order to produce a non-cracky, integral, biaxially-oriented plastics material mesh structure 15 having a high strength/weight ratio, having high MD (machine direction) strength and substantially greater strength in the MD than in the TD (transverse direction), and having high creep resistance, a starting material 1 is provided having a rectangular grid of holes 8 and the starting material 1 is stretched in the MD (Figure 3) to such an extent that the junctions are not significantly oriented, is stretched in the TD (Figure 4) to such an extent that the junctions are not significantly oriented, and is finally stretched in the MD (Figure 5) to such an extent that the junction centres thin down by at least 30% and there is significant narrowing down of the junction. The resultant MD stretch is substantially greater than the resultant TD stretch. The MD strands 12 min , having thinned down and oriented to a substantial degree, cause the orientation to pass into the ends of the junctions and right through the junctions. The junctions increase in length by a ratio of at least about 2.5:1 and narrow down substantially. The ends of the junctions are not stretched more than 100% more than the centres. At each junction there is a thicker, parallel-sided, long zone 17 which is oriented in the MD and has thinned down less than the mid-points of the MD strands 12 min  so that there is continuous MD orientation running from end to end of the mesh structure. There are no dips in the junctions and the centres of the junctions are not substantially thinner than any other part of the junction on the MD centre line. There are biaxially-oriented zones 18 on either side of the thicker zones 17, and oriented crotches 16 connecting respective MD strands 12 min  and TD strands 14 min , the biaxially-oriented zone 18 merging gradually with the crotches 16. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE> <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention relates to the formation of bodies having graded properties. Particularly, the invention provides a method for forming a metal matrix composite body having graded properties. The graded properties are achieved by, for example, locating differing amounts of filler material in different portions of a formed body and/or locating different compositions of filler material in different portions of a formed body and/or locating different sizes of filler materials in different portions of a formed body. In addition, the invention provides for the formation of macrocomposite bodies wherein, for example, an excess of matrix metal can be integrally bonded or attached to a graded metal matrix composite portion of a macrocomposite body.

Abstract: An inducible promoter is used to regulate expression of a gene which is known to be critical to male fertility. The selected gene's control sequences are modified so that it is normally "off" and as a result the plants are male sterile. When it is desired to reproduce the male sterile plants, male fertility is restored by treating the plants with a non-phytotoxic chemical which induces expression of the critical gene. A critical gene is one which affects flavonol production and in particular compounds of the formula:    <IMAGE>   wherein R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R7, and R8, are hydrogen, hydroxyl or alkoxy having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Particularly preferred flavonols include galangin, kaempferol, iso-rhamnetin, quercetin and morin.

Abstract: This invention provides a process and apparatus for gasifying a particulate solid carbonaceous fuel with a high moisture content, the process comprising: introducing the fuel into one or more pressurized drying vessels without adding water to the fuel; reducing the moisture content of the fuel in the drying vessel(s) to a level suitable for gasification by passing hot product gas through the or each drying vessel such that the fuel particles are entrained in the gas flow, thereby cooling and humidifying the gas; separating the cooled and humidified gas from the fuel; transferring the fuel with reduced moisture content from the or each drying vessel to a gasification vessel, gasifying the fuel in the gasification vessel to produce hot product gas; and introducing at least a portion of the hot product gas into the or each drying vessel. The invention also relates to an integrated process for producing power, especially electric power, from particulate solid carbanaceous fuel.

Abstract: The present invention comprises a standard CRT that has a light source provided by two strips of light patterns in the unused area of the CRT screen, typically at the right and left margins. In a preferred embodiment, the light patterns are created by a simple electronic circuit that is used in conjunction with the raster scan of the screen. No external light sources are required. The light patterns are created in a novel way in that they have a unique pattern frequency which is determined by causing the raster scan to create a point of light at the margins during certain raster cycles but not during others. The light pattern frequency is selected to be easily discriminated, such that the environmental disturbance and the signal from the CRT itself can be completely rejected. The light patterns are reflected from the unused areas of the CRT screen by reflective surfaces. The reflective surfaces are positions in proximity to the strips of light patterns and reflect the light across the surface of the CRT. Four single photodetectors located at the four corners of the CRT screen are used as detectors to monitor the reflected light. A pointer positioned on or near the surface of the CRT will block the light in such a way that two or more of the sensors can provide enough information to determine the pointer position by using geometry. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>
