     A method of growing rice which increases the tillering of rice and 
which does not utilize any herbicides or pesticides is disclosed. The 
soil moisture is monitored in such a manner as to eliminate or reduce 
weed growth relative to rice growth. Generally, dry or soaked seed is 
drill-planted one to four inches into the soil having an appropriate 
moisture content. The rice field is not permanently flooded until 25-50 
days after planting, and thus does not provide an adequate habitat for 
insect pests or weed growth. If any weeds have germinated at any time 
prior to flooding, they are easily removed by cultivation.

Patent EP-0352069-A3 (EP)
Title: Heat absorbent material and heat resistant containers
IPC: E05G1/024
Filed: 1989-07-18
Abstract: A heat absorbent material is made by dissolving gelatine in hot 
water together with anti-bacterial and anti-fungal additives; while the 
mixture is still warm it is used to impregnate a blanket of ceramic fibre. 
When all the mixture (typically up to 13.5 times the weight of the blanket) 
has soaked into the blanket and cooled to form a gel, the resulting heat 
absorbent material is sealed in a water-impermeable plastic jacket.  
     This material contains more water, and hence can absorb more heat, 
than a blanket simply soaked with water. The water does not readily drain 
out of the blanket and is kept evenly distributed throughout the blanket by 
capillary forces if it is subjected to heat. The material can be readily 
cut to size and shape, and when sealed in a jacket can be easily handled. 
It can be used, typically in conjunction with thermal insulation, in heat 
resistant containers such as safes and in heat resistant partitions.
Patent EP-0357265-A3 (EP)
IPC: H02M3/28
Filed: 1989-08-09
Abstract: A nonlinear resonant switch (10) for power 
conversion devices and a converter using the switch 
are described. The switch optimizes converter 
efficiency by switching only when current is zero and 
by limiting the peak current to a value near that 
provided by conventional PWM converters. A nonlinear 
reactor (28-32) having a winding (28) in series with 
the switch and a tank circuit (26,36) is biased to 
saturation at low currents but is driven into an 
unsaturated condition by high currents so that a 
resultant high series inductance mitigates further 
current increase. Several converter topologies 
incorporating this improvement are shown.

Title: Quality control for wire bonding
IPC: H01L21/60
Filed: 1989-10-31
Abstract: An automatic wire bonding apparatus, for wedge-bonding using aluminium wire, comprises a bonding head comprising a bonding tool mounted on an ultrasonic transducer, a bonding tip of the tool being arranged, in the operation of the machine, to press aluminium wire against the contact surface of an electronic or electrical component, the wire being drawn from a suitable wire supply, and a wire clamp by which the wire drawn from the wire supply may be clamped, the wire clamp being movable backward and forward generally in the direction in which the wire is fed appropriately to position the free end of wire drawn from the spool after completion of a bonding operation. The automatic wire-bonding apparatus further comprises means for monitoring, during bonding, the quality of the bond formed between the wire and the surface to which it is to be bonded, by identifying those bonds which do not fall within predetermined maximum and minimum values for deformation of the wire due to ultrasonic excitation. By using the automatic wire bonding apparatus described, the time during which ultrasonic energy is transmitted to the bond is minimised, thus maximising the throughput of the machine, and wastage due to unsatisfactory bond formation is reduced.

Inventor: DOERNER STEFAN
IPC: B65H75/36
Filed: 1995-04-26
Abstract: A recess (7) forming a flat cylindrical cavity, accepts the flexible connecting lead (6) of the appliance. Its depth, t, is less than twice the diameter, d, of the cable. The lead is pulled out through an approximately central opening (10), on the flat side of the recess (7). A tapered guide bulge (11) within the recess projects towards, and is offset slightly from, the opening (10). This offset, v, is approximately one half of the cable diameter. The cable is said to spiral itself within the casing, filling the outer diameters first, when pushed in through the hole (10), and to pull out in the reverse manner. The layout is very simple, and stowing is carried out by hand, although it is suggested that driven rollers could be applied to produce a powered model. Within the recess (7) the lead passes the small edge region (13') and enters the base opening (23) via the labyrinthine path, continuing through into the appliance proper. The offset is to one side of the small region (13'). When built-in, the open recess is covered flush by one of the casing walls (1) of the appliance. <IMAGE>
