Abstract: Disclosed is a chemically inducible promoter for transforming plants or plant cells with genes which are regulatable by adding the plants or cells to a medium containing an inducer or by removing them from such medium. The promoter is inducible by a glucocorticoid, estrogen or inducer not endogenous to plants. Such promoters may be used with any plant genes that can promote shoot regeneration and development to induce shoot formation in the presence of a glucocorticoid, estrogen or inducer. The promoter may be used with antibiotic or herbicide resistance genes or other genes which are regulatable by the presence or absence of a given inducer. Also presented are organisms or cells comprising a gene wherein the natural promoter of the gene is disrupted and the gene is placed under the control of a transgenic inducible promoter. These organisms and cells and their progeny are useful for screening for conditional gain of function and loss of function mutations.

Abstract: Torque control of an electrical motor 4 connected to a drive shaft
6 and control of the rotation speed of a generator 2 supplying electrical
power to the electrical motor 4 are performed in response to the running
conditions of a vehicle. The actual generator output of the generator 2
is estimated at a given time and the drive output of the electrical motor
4 is limited in response to the estimated generator output. The drive
output of the electrical motor 4 is limited in response to increases in
consumed energy and reductions in the generated output of the
generator 2 resulting from increases in the kinetic energy of rotating
components of the engine 1 or the generator 2 during acceleration.
Thus the difference of the generated output of the generator 2 and the
consumed electrical power of the electrical motor 4 can be reduced
during acceleration and it is possible to reduce the capacity of the
battery supplying auxiliary electrical power.

Abstract: Reach rails (21) extend forward from a body of a
reach forklift truck. An axle (31) is fixed to outer walls
of reach rails (21). Front wheels (11) are supported by
the axle (31). Protrusions (34a) are formed on the side of
the wheel (34) at a constant pitch. A guard (40) is
attached to the lower surface of each reach rail (21). A
sensor (30) is protected by the guard (40) from objects on
the floor surface. The sensor (30) detects the number of
revolution of the front wheel (11) based on passage of the
protrusions (34a). The sensors (30) are positioned
substantially within the dimensions of the reach rail (21).
Therefore, if the front wheels (11) are non-powered wheels,
parts for transmitting the front wheel (11) need not be
added near the front wheel (11), thereby simplifying the
structure for detecting the rotation of the front wheels
(11).

Abstract: The object is to provide a seat belt retractor which, by a
relatively simple structure, makes it possible to increase
the freedom with which an EA load is set and to set the EA
load more stably. A seat belt retractor according to the
present invention in which a torsion pipe (20) is disposed
inside an annular space between a spool (4) and a torsion
bar (7), with the left end portion of the torsion pipe (20)
being connected and secured to securing pins (21) and (22).
The right end portion of the torsion pipe (20) engages an
externally threaded shaft (15) at a locking base (14) in a
direction of rotation and can move axially relative to the
externally threaded shaft (15). When the spool (4) rotates
relative to the locking base (14) in a direction in which a
webbing is extracted, the torsion bar (7) and the torsion
pipe (20) are both twisted and deformed, so that impact
energy is absorbed. Since the twisting and deformation of
the torsion pipe (20) makes it shorter in length, the right
end portion of the torsion pipe (20) disengages from the
externally threaded shaft (15), so that energy is absorbed
by twisting and deforming the torsion bar (7) alone.

Abstract: The invention which is the subject of this application is to provide for the dynamic adjustment of the display of a graphic display on a display screen, such as that of a television set. Typically, the display screen shows a video display such as that of a television programme generated from received video data such as via a broadcast data receiver, DVD, VCR or the like. On occasion and typically in response to a user selection a graphic display can be generated and overlaid on the video display to provide information to the user. Changes in the video display to take into account different video display formats and/or the particular format of the display screen can cause the graphic display to be unacceptable but this is avoided in the current invention which allows the graphic display to be altered with respect to the format such that it is visible and in a preferred form.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode permettant de déterminer la prédisposition des porcs à développer une odeur sexuelle, cette odeur sexuelle étant une odeur forte désagréable émise lors du chauffage ou de la cuisson de la viande provenant de porcs mâles non castrés. Cette odeur est associée à des niveaux élevés de scatole, d'indole et d'androsténone. Des pertes économiques significatives peuvent être attribuées aux méthodes actuelles de prévention et de traitement de l'effet de l'odeur sexuelle. L'identification d'animaux d'un génotype désiré permet donc la sélection d'animaux présentant une prédisposition génétique à l'odeur sexuelle, ce qui est une solution attractive, peu coûteuse et humaine au problème de l'odeur sexuelle. L'invention permet donc d'identifier les loci de caractère quantitatif de l'odeur sexuelle et les caractéristiques des composants. Lesdites caractéristiques sont, en particulier, présentes sur un chromosome 6 et 14, et ce chromosome 14 peut être mis en correspondance avec un gène candidat important.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for determining temperature-dependent parameters, such as the association/dissociation parameters and/or the equilibrium constant of complexes that comprise at least two components, wherein the first components, which are in a liquid phase, are contacted with measuring points located preferably on a planar optical waveguide of a reaction carrier and formed by second components linked to the solid reaction carrier and specifically binding to said first components, with the aid of a preferably heatable means for contacting the liquid phase and the reaction carrier under formation of complexes. Fluorescent dyes bound to the first components and/or the second components are excited in the surface area of the planar optical waveguide, preferably by the evanescent field of excitation light coupled into the planar optical waveguide, for emitting fluorescent light. Detection of the emitted fluorescent light takes place in the surroundings of the optical waveguide. The formation or the dissociation of the complexes comprising first components and second components is observed as a function of temperature.
