Abstract: Root endophyte which live symbiotically within a root of crops
were separated and classified. A medium which cultured the strains
were inoculated with a seed of a crop. The seed was allowed to sprout
to inoculate the root of the crop with root endophytes. While growing
the crop, the soil for growth was inoculated with soil pathogenic
bacteria, and the crop was grown for a period necessary for the
occurrence of a soil disease. The crop was inspected for pathopoiesis,
and root endophytes, which had been inoculated into the root of crop
having low severity, were specified and selected. As a result, it
was found that some root endophytes can significantly inhibit soil
diseases. Among root endophytes,  Heteroconium   chaetospira  was found
to be particularly effective in inhibiting soil diseases.

Abstract: A shoe cleat is adapted to be removably secured in a holder provided on the shoe sole. In a combination of shoe cleat and holder, a screw-threaded spigot (12) on the cleat is inserted with rotation into a complementary socket (18) of the holder, and a locking means (26, 28) becomes interengaged to resist subsequent unscrewing of the assembly. The locking means comprises a ring of free-standing posts (34, 42) extending axially from the cleat and a ring of radially-projective teeth (26) on the holder, the rings being co-axial with the screw axis. During at least later stages of insertion of the spigot (12) into the socket (18), on relative rotation of the rings, engagement of the teeth (26) with the posts (34, 42) causes the posts (34, 42) to deflect resiliently and engagement of the teeth (26) between the posts (34, 42) causes interangagement of the locking means.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for detecting viscous liquids on a solid, especially moving, undersurface (1), e.g. flat packaging material such as paperboard, paper, cardboard, plastic or the like, whereby the viscous liquid, sizing material in particular (2), is continuously deposited on the undersurface. The surface of the deposited viscous liquid (2) is defined and periodically deformed. Subsequently, light is transmitted onto the deformed surface, whereby the brilliance of the light thus reflected, corresponding to the shape of the surface of the viscous liquid in one plane, is given a periodic profile. Said brilliance profile of the light reflected from the deformed surface is received in a spatially and/or chronologically separate manner and converted into a periodic electric signal, enabling the presence of the sizing material (2) to be checked and the discharge of the liquid onto the undersurface to be regulated.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a base station (1, 1') and a method for protecting a
predetermined area from disturbing usage of mobile terminals of a wireless
telecommunication system. Further, the present invention relates to a mobile terminal
(7) the operation mode of which can be changed by mode change information received
from a base station (1, 1') to protect a predetermined area. A predetermined area might
be an area, in which at least a high frequency part of the mobile terminals should be
switched off automatically to avoid interference with electronic or electric devices, e. g.
in hospital or airplanes. In other areas, e. g. restaurants, operas or the like, it is
sufficient to reduce the volume of acoustic signals to be output so that other people in
the area are not disturbed. The base station (1, 1') for protecting the predetermined area
according to the present invention thereby comprises generating means (2, 2') for
generating mode change information for changing an operation mode of the mobile
terminals to protect the predetermined area, and transmitting means (3, 3') for
transmitting the generated mode change information within the predetermined area by
means of a paging message of a paging channel of the wireless telecommunication
system. The use of the paging message thereby provides a simple and effective way to
transmit the mode change information according to the present invention.
