Abstract: The present invention provides a dual method for producing male-sterile plants. Two genetically transformed plants, parents 1 and 2 are crossed to obtain male-sterile offspring. Parent 1 is transformed with an expression cassette comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding an anther-specific promoter which is operably linked to a nucleotide sequence encoding a transactivator. Parent 2 is transformed with an expression cassette comprising a target nucleotide sequence, which is capable of being activated by the transactivator, operably linked to a nucleotide sequence which encodes RNA or a polypeptide which will disrupt the formation of viable pollen. Therefore, crossing parent 1 with parent 2 results in male-sterile offspring. The male-sterile plants are useful for producing hybrid seed. The invention also provides compositions and methods for high level expression of a coding region of interest in a plant.

Abstract: This invention discloses a method of fabricating an electroexplosive device which utilizes a semiconductor bridge (292) as an ignition element. The semiconductor bridge (292) is electrically connected to a metal header (100) by a small, low resistance contact to the extension of bridge material and through an insulating silicon substrate (270) to a eutectic bond (260) created by gold plating (350) on the metal header (100) and the silicon. The second electrode (360) of the bridge circuit is connected via wire bonds (130) to one or two conducting pins (110) which penetrate the metal header (100) and are insulated by surrounding glass (120). The design allows the use of standard semiconductor assembly methods. Since small pads of electrical material are used for electrical contact, the die size is small. A redundant connection via two conducting pins (110) insulated from the header (100) to one electrode (360) of the semiconductor bridge allows a post assembly test of the integrity of the wire bonds.

Abstract: A programmable telecommunications switch has automatic backup of line cards to provide complete redundancy. The switch has I/O cards which terminate the external telecommunications spans. Each I/O card passes the data from its spans to a line card. When the line card fails, the I/O card switches the data onto an I/O bus which is connected to a standby I/O card. The standby I/O card switches a standby line card into connection with the I/O bus such that the data stream is then serviced by the standby line card. The failed line card may then be removed and replaced. All I/O cards are attached to the I/O bus such that redundancy for all active line cards using the same signalling protocol is provided with a single standby line card. With multiple I/O busses, standby I/O cards and standby line cards, multiple redundancy is possible. Finally, the failure of a single line module of a line card may be handled by switching only the span serviced by that module to a standby line card. Spans from different I/O cards may be serviced by different line modules of a single standby line card, and may be all connected to the same standby line card by the same bus.

Abstract: A substantial and increasing problem with the pulping chemical recovery system, is the presence of chloride and potassium in the spent liquor entering the recovery boiler. Chloride and potassium increase the stickiness of carryover deposits and dust particles to the recovery boiler tubes, which accelerate fouling and plugging in the upper part of the recovery boiler. The present invention relates to a process by which the content of potassium ions in a recovery system for pulping chemicals can be reduced. The process comprises bringing spent liquor to a recovery boiler, burning said spent liquor, collecting precipitator dust formed, forming a solution by dissolving the precipitator dust (9) in a liquid (2,31,71), where the solution of precipitator dust is subjected to a treatment with an inorganic ion exchange material (8) in order to remove at least a part of the potassium therein. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method is disclosed whereby cinematic image components photographed at one frame rate are composited with other cinematic image components photographed at a higher frame rate, to produce images containing some components that deliver a more realistic impression to the audiences viewing such images than are delivered by the other image components. This method is applicable to any combination of frame rates, as long as one frame rate is greater than thirty frames per second, and the other is thirty frames per second or less. Scenes or sequences photographed at different frame rates and containing entire images can also be combined into a single motion picture by intercutting in accordance with this method. In addition, this method allows conversion of films photographed at nonstandard frame rates to be converted to a universal format for exhibition in conventional motion picture theaters, thus eliminating the restriction of films of this sort to special venues.
