Title: Method for operating a wind power station
Inventor: WOBBEN ALOYS
IPC: F03D11/00
Filed: 2004-03-31
Abstract: When planning and setting up wind power installations the visual detractions to be expected on the part of the wind power installation on the environment play an increasingly important part in approval and acceptance. If for example a wind power installation is placed in the proximity of a residence, it is possible, when the sun is in unfavourable positions, that the wind power installation or the rotor thereof is between the sun and the residence. If the sunshine is not affected by cloud, the rotating rotor constantly throws a (strobing) shadow on to the property.  The shadow casting caused by the wind power installation on the adjoining properties is often perceived by the residents as being very troublesome.  Even if the wind power installation satisfies the legal approval requirements there is however not always any guarantee that the undesired shadow casting effect is prevented.   The object of the present invention is to provide a wind power installation by means of which shadow casting regulation is improved.   That is achieved by a method of operating a wind power installation wherein a first light intensity is detected in a region of direct light irradiation and a second light intensity is detected in a shadowed region, and wherein the wind power installation is shut down if the difference between the first light intensity and the second light intensity is greater than a predetermined value.

Title: Modulation of cytokinin activity in plants
Inventor: ABBITT SHANE E
IPC: C12N9/06
Filed: 2004-04-02
Abstract: This invention relates generally to the field of plant molecular biology. More specifically, this invention relates to methods and reagents for the temporally- and/or spatially-regulated expression of genes that affect metabolically effective levels of cytokinins in plants, particularly in plant seeds and related female reproductive tissue. This invention further relates to transgenic plants having enhanced levels of cytokinin expression wherein the transgenic plant exhibits useful characteristics, such as improved seed size, decreased tip kernel abortion, increased seed set during unfavorable environmental conditions, or stability of yield. The present invention also provides compositions and methods for regulating expression of heterologous nucleotide sequences in a plant. Compositions comprise novel nucleotide sequences for seed-preferred promoters known as eep1 and eep2. A method for expressing a heterologous nucleotide sequence in a plant using the promoter sequences disclosed herein is provided. The method comprises transforming a plant cell to comprise a heterologous nucleotide sequence operably linked to one of the promoters of the present invention and regenerating a stably transformed plant from the transformed plant cell.

IPC: C08L53/02
Filed: 2003-04-30
Abstract: A consumable bitumen packaging compound including at least one packaging material/s, such as polymers, plastics and extenders and the like, used in combination with the bituminous material and a metal, either pure in powder form or in the form of salt or oxide, that is physically and/or chemically combined with the polymer material, so that the density of the packaging material is adjusted to prevent the material from floating to the surface of the molten material after melting. The components of the packaging are preferably selected such that they are compatible with the bitumen. After transport and storage, the packaging material can therefore be directly incorporated into the bitumen product for final use, such that the formation of a polymer skin accumulating at the surface of the molten material is largely avoided.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de manipuler des vieux pneus et comprenant une étape consistant à fournir un appareil de compactage à un générateur de vieux pneus, tel qu'un vendeur de pneus. Avant le compactage des pneus, ceux-ci peuvent être marqués au moyen d'un identificateur unique attribué à chaque générateur de pneus. Le marquage des vieux pneus au moyen d'un identificateur unique permet de suivre les pneus jusqu'à leur destination finale. L'appareil de compactage permet d'obtenir une réduction du volume des vieux pneus de manière individuelle, la réduction étant d'au moins 50 % du volume cubique original. Les pneus peuvent être pincés de manière à maintenir le pneu compacté dans la forme compactée et empêchant celui-ci de retrouver sa forme originale. Les vieux pneus compactés peuvent être accumulés à l'intérieur d'une enceinte de recueil de pneus, telle qu'une remorque ou une benne Dumpster. Les pneus recueillis peuvent être transportés vers une station de transfert, une usine de recyclage ou un utilisateur final avec des charges de pneus beaucoup plus importantes.
