Patent EP-0870838-A2 (EP)
Inventor: PENA GARCIA LEANDRO
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 1998-03-04
Abstract: The procedure is based on the use, as vegetable
starting material for the transformation, of the first
shoots from the graft of buds of adult trees onto stock,
the genetic transformation of explants from the adult
shoots by means of co-cultivation with  Agrobacterium
tumefaciens  in mother plaques, and the obtaining of
complete adult woody plants by means of  in vitro 
micrografting of the transgenic buds, apices or shoots,
regenerated by means of the explants, by means of  in vitro 
micrograft onto stock cultivated in  vitro.   
     This procedure makes it possible to avoid the juvenile
period and the high heterozygosis which affects most woody
species, blossoming and fruiting of the transgenic plants
are brought forward, and it permits the direct genetic
transformation of commercially interesting varieties. 
     It has agricultural applications.

IPC: H04N7/24

Abstract: A method and system for downloading applications for controlling devices within a home audio/video network. Several consumer electronics products, e.g., television, VCR, tuner, set-top box (e.g., intelligent receiver/decoder, IRD), DVTRs, PCs, DVD players (digital video disk), etc., can be coupled within the network to communicate together via a standard bus (e.g, IEEE 1394 serial communication bus). In one embodiment, the HAVI network offers unique advantages consumer electronic vendors because the architecture offers for the home network many of the advantages of existing computer system networks. Namely, interconnected devices can share resources and provide open, well defined APIs that allow ease of development for third party developers. Devices are controlled using software abstractions of the devices or services called DCMs. The present invention provides a mechanism whereby applications can be downloaded, e.g., via a programmable intelligent device (e.g., set-top-box), and provide features and services within the network. These applications originate from a service provider, are transferred over a logical channel (e.g., the internet/TV cable, satellite broadcast) to the consumer premises and are instantiated on the intelligent device within the network. The application can query a registry of DCMs to determine its complement of functions and can ultimately control the devices of the network using the available DCMs.

Abstract: A mold-closing unit for an injection molding machine for processing plasticizable masses includes a support element for supporting a piston-cylinder unit for moving a mobile mold carrier and to support a pressure cylinder, and a hydraulic block to supply hydraulic lines inside the support element. The support element has at least two support sections which accommodate between them the hydraulic block and are connected to the hydraulic block via a fastener. Thus the mold-closing unit can be constructed more compactly, with shortening of the bores for the hydraulic lines.

Abstract: A glass antenna device for a vehicle includes an FM
antenna (3) as a receiving antenna for short-waves and a
defogger (14) provided on a rear window glass (2) of the
vehicle, and an AM antenna (5; 18), as a receiving antenna for
medium-waves, provided on a side window glass (4) fixed at a
different position from the rear window glass of the vehicle.
Since the AM antenna is spaced relatively far distant from
electric equipments such as a rear wiper, stop lamps and
indicators disposed at a rear portion of the vehicle, noises
generated from the electric equipments are unlikely to be mixed
in a transmission line of the antenna device.

Inventor: ONAKA HIROSHI

Filed: 1999-03-31
Abstract: In an OADM system, an OADM device includes an AOTF. The
AOTF can select an optional wavelength by changing the
frequency of an RF signal to be applied. An optical signal
having a specified wavelength can be dropped from a
wavelength-multiplexed optical signal input from an input
terminal, or a wavelength-multiplexed optical signal input
from an add port can be multiplexed with a through optical
signal. However, considering the increase in coherent
cross talk, the AOTF should be exclusively used for
dropping in an actual device configuration. Otherwise, a
drop optical signal is branched by an optical coupler with
the wavelength selected by a tributary station. Thus, the
wavelength selected by the tributary station can
be extracted by the AOTF from the through optical signal.

The interior is foamed with the edges turned out, then the threads are drawn, turning and tightening the seam, closing the opening and locking seam and its threads with permanently-adhering foaming mixture. On completion of reaction, thread ends are cut off. An Independent claim is included for the product which comprises seamed (4) casing blanks (1, 2) with soft foam filling, constructed as described. Preferred features: The thread is a monofilament. Ends are secured after closing but before removal. One short thread end is secured to the casing before foaming. The thread is led around one end of the opening and two projecting thread ends are drawn. Threads run in opposite directions, one end secured to the opening, the other is left long, assisting grip. In a lock-stitched seam, two pairs of long ends are left.
