Patent CA-2319486-C (CA)
Inventor: SEABROOK JANE E A
IPC: A01H4/00

Abstract: This invention is directed to a method for producing somatic embryos on plan t tissue. Furthermore, somatic embryos may be produced using explants obtained from a broad range of plant species, and using eithe r juvenile or mature tissues. The method involves obtaining a stock tissue culture plantlet by exposing the plant tissue to a medium comprising salts, vitamins and an energy source; preparing an explant from the stock tissue culture plantlet; tranferring the explant to a proliferation medium comprising salts, vitamins, an energy source and at least one growth regulator for a period of time sufficient to produce a callused explant; and transferring the callused explant to a medium comprising salts, vitamins, an energy source and at least two growth regulators for a period of time sufficient to produce somatic embryos. Following this method somatic embryos are produced in significantly less tim e than observed using other somatic embryogenesis protocols. Plants produced from the somatic embryos are easily prepared. Since somatic embryos can be obtained from mature tissues, specific plants of agronomic importance comprising desirable traits, may now be clonally propagated. Furthermore, somatic embryos produced following the method of this invention may be used for the preparation of synthetic seed.

Abstract: An improved fastener driving tool is provided that is especially adapted to application of fasteners in trim applications, such as the fastening of wood trim and decorative pieces. The preferred embodiment is a combustion tool, and includes an incrementally adjustable fastener driving depth setting mechanism. The incremental control permits an operator to select from a number of discrete depth settings over a limited range. The preferred tool also includes a distance amplifying fastener lockout. The lockout amplifies a fastener follower movement permitting the blocking of movement of a linkage necessary to tool operation in response to the movement associated with an individual small fastener being dispensed. A trigger and handle of the preferred tool .are proximate to the driver blade axis, and the trigger is disposed within an imaginary extension of a fuel canister held within the tool housing. A unique fastener magazine extends into the nosepiece, includes ribs for holding separate pieces of the tool housing together, and includes a solid bottom portion preventing exposure of fasteners held in the tool. An elongated joining element serves to hold the housing pieces together along the front of the tool, and provides a sight permitting an operator to properly align the tool over a workpiece. A  battery holder in the tool includes separate locked operational and standby positions. The standby position prevents contact with tool circuits to electrically disable the tool.
