Title: Water bottle pick
Inventor: MARCOTTE JEAN-MARIE
IPC: B67D3/00
Filed: 1993-05-12
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE              An elongate pick enables placement of a water bottle on a water dispensing cooler without leakage and/or spill of water.  Conventional plastic bottles in which spring water is sold comprise a neck itself defining  an  opening  closed by means of a thickness   of   substantially   deformable   plastic material.  The elongate pick is formed with a point, a shank portion having an outer surface formed with longitudinal channels therein,  and an intermediate hole sealing portion.  In operation, (a) the point is driven through the thickness of plastic material to puncture this material and form a hole therein,  (b) the pick is further driven through the thickness of plastic material to position the intermediate portion in the hole to thereby seal that hole and enable the bottle to be inverted without leakage and/or spill of water,  (c)  the  inverted bottle  is placed  on the annular  seat  of  the  cooler  with  the  bottleneck extending downwardly in the upwardly open reservoir of that cooler, and (d) upon placement of the inverted bottle on the seat,  the distal  end of the shank portion is applied to the bottom of the reservoir to further  drive  the  pick  through  the  thickness  of deformable material and position the shank portion in the hole to thereby enable flow of water from the bottle  to the  reservoir  through  the  longitudinal channels.

Abstract: The surface of internal structure of diamagnetic and paramagnetic materials is imaged by measuring, preferably with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer (7), perturbations to an applied magnetic field resulting from variations in magnetic sus-ceptibility at an array of locations across the object (3). The array of perturbation measurements is processed to gen-erate a map of local susceptibilities. For implementation of susceptibility tomography, multiple arrays of perturbation signals for a plurality of relative orientations between the object, the field, and the measurement locations are pro-cessed to generate values for local susceptibility at selected sites within the object, such as along a selected sectional plane.

Title: Modification of lignin synthesis in plants
Inventor: INZE DIRK G
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1992-09-09
Abstract: The biosynthesis of lignin in plants is regulated by insertion into the plant genome by altering the plant's ability to synthesize the enzyme O-methyl-transferase, an enzyme involved in the lignin biosynthetic pathway. Production of O-methyl-transferase may be enhanced by insertion into the plant genome by transformation of one or more additional copies of the O-methyl-transferase gene or production may be inhibited by insertion of a gene encoding anti-sense mRNA directed against the mRNA encoded by the endogenous O-methyl-transferase gene.

Title: Method and apparatus for modernizing the control of an elevator group
Inventor: BURKE RICHARD J
IPC: B66B1/18
Filed: 1994-06-07
Abstract: An apparatus for use during modernization of a group of elevators to maintain optimum service to a building includes an Interim Traffic Manager (ITM) system which evenly distributes hall call routing between old and new elevator controls.  During the time that an elevator to be re-equipped is out of service, the original not yet re-equipped elevators, as well as the already re-equipped elevators, respond as a single bank, one elevator car per call. The ITM system is connected between the hall call registering devices and each of old and new elevator controls. When a floor push button is pressed, the ITM system uses a routing algorithm to decide whether to send the call to the old or to the new elevator control based upon traffic loading. The ITM  system is an inexpensive, reusable unit which resides on the job site temporarily and, therefore, adds no additional costs to the modernization of an elevator group. Technical knowledge required for the installation of the ITM system is restricted to connecting wiring to the elevator controls and the hall call registering devices.

Title: A process for the improved removal of vapors in drying with superheated steam
Inventor: RAEHSE WILFRIED
IPC: B01D3/14
Filed: 1993-02-04
Abstract: The partial current of exhaust vapours loaded with entrained valuable and/or inert substances is transferred as a steam-product current from drying plants operating with overheated steam as the drying gas, then is at least partially condensed by indirect heat exchange with a cooling medium. The exhaust vapour condensate is subsequently cleaned by at least one distillation step. By recirculating a partial current from the liquid phase of distillation plant (5), exhaust vapour condensate is used for absorbing the condensation energy of the gaseous current of exhaust vapours in an indirect heat exchanger (2). The exhaust vapour condensate thus produced is supplied to the distillation plant (5), where it is brought into a direct energy exchange with the recycled partial current of exhaust vapour condensate drawn from the liquid phase. A  partial liquid stream having a higher concentration of entrained valuable and/or inert substances can thus be drawn from the liquid phase of the distillation plant (5). The vapour phase from the distillator (5) is further treated in an appropriate manner.

Title: Microorganisms having attenuated invasiveness
Inventor: FALKOW STANLEY
IPC: C12N15/74
Filed: 1993-03-01
Abstract: The invention provides nucleic acids encoding one or more hyper-invasive genes within the hil locus (hyper-invasion locus) or fragments thereof, methods for making attenuated microorganisms and identifying such hyper-invasive nucleic acids as well as mutant microorganisms wherein one or more hyper-invasive genes within the hil locus are modified to attenuate the invasive phenotype of the microorganism. The methods of the invention utilize conditions which repress invasiveness in an otherwise invasive microorganism. The method comprises mutating an invasive microorganism to form a plurality of mutant microorganisms. The thus formed mutants are exposed to conditions which repress invasiveness of the parental invasive microorganism. At least one mutant microorganism is then detected which exhibits an increase in invasiveness as compared to the parental invasive microorganism. The site of mutation in the genome of the mutant microorganism is then determined to localize and identify one or more hyper-invasive genes within the hil locus of the invasive microorganism.
