Patent MX-158879-A (MX)
Inventor: ALDEEM HISSAM
IPC: F16D65/54
Filed: 1983-09-28
Abstract: A predetermined clearance (A) between a disc (36) and a brake pad (34) in a disc brake calliper (10) is maintained by a selfadjusting device (24). A screw (48) is screwed into the block (26) and a spring sleeve (50) fits tightly in a bore (20) in the calliper and loosely around the screw shank but is trapped by the head (52) of the screw. In the state shown, the sleeve (50) abuts the block (26) but a small gap (A) exists between the sleeve (50) and the screw head (52), establishing the same clearance (A) between the pad (34) and disc (36). When the brake is applied the sleeve (20) is drawn out to the extent necessary to maintain the clearance (A) as the pad 34 wears. Embodiments are described with a return spring, e.g. a stack of Belleville washers, which acts between the sleeve (50) and the head (52) and is compressed solid when the brake is applied.
Patent MX-159536-A (MX)
Inventor: MILLER JAMES ANTON
IPC: F15B11/16
Filed: 1984-08-08
Abstract: A closed center, load sensing hydraulic system is disclosed which contains a primary work circuit which has priority in flow demand over a secondary work circuit. The system includes a variable displacement pump fluidly connected between a reservoir and a control valve with the primary work circuit. The primary work circuit includes a control valve which regulates fluid flow from the pump to a primary hydraulic function and which includes a feedback mechanism connected thereto. The secondary work circuit also includes a manually operable control valve for regulating fluid flow from the pump to a secondary hydraulic function. A priority valve is connected between the pump and the secondary work circuit and movable between an open and a closed position to regulate the pressure of fluid discharged by the pump. Pressurized fluid from the primary work circuit is conveyed through a load signal line to the priority valve such that the pressurized fluid will urge the priority valve towards a closed position thereby assuring that adequate fluid pressure is available from the pump to the primary work circuit. The system also includes a control valve for sensing pressure variations between the fluid discharged from the pump and fluid present in the load signal line. This valve controls fluid flow out of the primary hydraulic function, via the load signal line, when the pressure of the fluid discharged by the pump is less than the pressure of the fluid in the load signal line and thereby essentially eliminates kickback from the primary control valve.

Title: Production of addition polymer microparticles one of the ingredients being a derivative of fumaric or maleic acid
Inventor: BACKHOUSE A
IPC: C08F2/08
Filed: 1980-12-02
Abstract: The production is described of a dispersion of polymer microparticles, which may optionally be crosslinked, by dispersion polymerisation in aliphatic hydrocarbon liquid under specified conditions of a monomer mixture which comprises up to 50% of styrene or a substituted derivative thereof and up to 50% by weight of a derivative of maleic acid or fumaric acid which is soluble in the hydrocarbon liquid at the polymerization temperature. The microparticles have a size in the range 100-400 nm and a high refractive index, and are suitable for incorporation in coating compositions which are based on a film-forming polymer, such as a thermosetting acrylic resin or an alkyd resin, containing a significant proportion of aromatic residues, and which are intended to be used either unpigmented or when containing only light-absorbing pigments.

Title: Plasmid for the transformation of a plant cell
Inventor: DAHL G A
IPC: C12N15/54
Filed: 1984-08-24
Abstract: During the past ten years, the ability to splice DNA from a variety of sources into a recombinant DNA molecule and then to transfer such DNA molecules into different species of prokaryotes and eukaryotes has led to the most exciting revolution in the history of biology. Most of this work has involved the use of bacteria, fungi and animals. Plants have been relatively neglected primarily because suitable vectors were not available. Recently a number of possible vectors have become available but in their natural state they have not been efficient in the transfer and expression of genes from various sources to plant species. The present invention describes some novel discoveries which increase the usefulness of naturally occurring plant DNA vectors in the genetic engineering of plants.

Title: Vacuum-packing articles within continuous tubular plastics film
Inventor: MAGNAI G
IPC: B65B9/06
Filed: 1985-07-22
Abstract: A machine for packaging articles in continuous tubular material, which may be formed by rolling the marginal edges of a flat web around a succession of the product articles to bring the marginal edges into contact and then sealing them continuously to complete the tube, comprises a pair of transverse sealing jaws 14 and 1 which each include a hemi-cylindrical chamber 24 having gas-pervious walls 16 and defining a cylindrical space 25 initially centrally divided by the film between two successive product articles 1.The film extending diametrically across the space 25 is first of all severed and then suction is applied to the gas-pervious walls 16 to draw the film into contact with the walls 16. To the righthand side of the space 25 is a double impulse sealing system 18, 19 centrally divided by a knife 21 which separates a righthand pack 28 from the film in the space 25, and to the lefthand side of that space 25 is a further double impulse sealing system 18, 20, again with a knife 22 to effect separation. The sealing pads 20 at the lefthand side are movable by means of push rods 27 so that initially they allow the pack 8bto be communicated with the space 25 while the pack 8a has been separated from the space 25, and this enables gas from within the pack 8b to be extracted by way of the hemi-cylindrical chambers 24 and the suction conduits 17. Subsequently the two sealing pads 20 are pressed into contact with their counterpressure pads 18 and the righthand side of the pack 8b is then isolated from the space 25.

Title: Psg5 plasmid used in isolating is elements, transposons and mutated genes
Inventor: MUTH GUNTER
IPC: C12N15/10
Filed: 1989-03-21
Abstract: DNA segments from mutants can be obtained very straightforwardly by isolating from the strain to be mutated the total DNA, cleaving the latter into small fragments and integrating into a temperature- sensitive plasmid with another selection marker which is selectable in E. coli, transforming the hybrid plasmid population obtained in this way into the starting strain, selecting the transformants by selection for the marker, eliminating the hybrid plasmids by raising the temperature above the threshold of the temperature-sensitive plasmid, and selecting the mutants by renewed selection for the marker. Construction of a cosmid gene bank with the DNA of these mutants results, by selection for the marker which has been introduced and is selectable in E. coli and for the cosmid-intrinsic marker, directly in cosmids which contain the mutated gene.

IPC: A23L1/28
Filed: 1996-12-09
Abstract: human food product comprises a higher ploidy strain of Fungi imperfecti of which each parent has a genetic growth constraint not shared by the other parent is claimed. One parent is for example auxotrophic for two compounds selected from histidine, arginine, leucine and adenine and the other for the other two. The nucleic acid content of the strain is preferably less than 2 % by weight. The strain may be made by killing a higher ploidy strain of Fungi imperfecti and simultaneously reducing its nucleic acid content to below 2 % by weight by treatment with water. The process may include preparing a higher ploidy strain of edible Fusarium by culturing two auxotrophs thereof together in a medium containing nutrients permitting both to grow and then culturing organisms derived from such culture in minimal medium.

Title: Locking and unlocking device for door of domestic electrical appliance such a washing machine with electrically controlled actuator causing toothed wheel to rotate
Inventor: CHIOFFI MARIO
IPC: D06F37/42
Filed: 1999-12-20
Abstract: Retaining member 6 slides between rest position (Fig 4) allowing a hook member of a door to enter a window on the housing (not shown) and an operating position (Fig 6) to retain the hook member and door. Locking member 9 moves between disengaged and engaged positions. (Only the disengaged position is shown).
