Abstract: A plant having in the nuclear genome of its cells foreign DNA comprising i) a male-sterility gene comprising a male-sterility DNA encoding a sterility RNA, protein or polypeptide which, when produced or overproduced in a stamen cell of the plant, significantly disturbs the metabolism, functioning and/or development of the stamen cell, and, a sterility promoter directing expression of the male-sterility DNA selectively in specific stamen cells of said plant, the male-sterility DNA being in the same transcriptional unit as, and under the control of, the sterility promoter, and ii) a coregulating gene comprising a coregulating DNA encoding a coregulating RNA, protein or polypeptide which, when produced in plant cells wherein said sterility RNA, protein or polypeptide is produced, prevents the activity of said sterility RNA, protein or polypeptide, and a coregulating promoter which is selected from the group consisting of a promoter directing expression of said coregulating DNA in non-stamen cells of said plant, while directing low-level expression in said specific stamen cells; and a promoter comprising a minimal promoter element, whereby said coregulating DNA is in a transcriptional unit which is different from the transcriptional unit of said sterility DNA and wherein said plant is male sterile.

Abstract: The present invention describes a two-stage pharmaceutical combined preparation for hormonal contraception containing at least 30 daily unit doses, which preparation, in its first stage, comprises as hormonal active ingredient a combination of an oestrogen preparation and, in a dose that is at least sufficient to inhibit ovulation, a gestagen preparation, in single stage form and, in the second stage comprises as hormonal active ingredient an oestrogen preparation only, wherein the first stage comprises a minimum of 25 and a maximum of 77 daily discrete or continuous unit doses and the second stage comprises 5, 6 or 7 daily discrete or continuous unit doses, and wherein the total number of daily units is equal to the total number of days of the desired cycle of a minimum of 30 and a maximum of 84 days. This combined preparation, in the form of a monthly pack, which is used for female fertility control, permits as low as possible an oestrogen content in each individual unit dose and also has a low total hormone content per cycle of administration, with high contraceptive reliability, low incidence of follicle development, and satisfactory cycle control with reliable avoidance of intermediate bleeding as well as undesired side effects.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cellular radio network and a method for increasing traffic carrying capacity in a cellular network. The operating frequency spectrum of the cellular network has been divided in such a way that typically both regular frequencies and super-reuse frequencies are employed in each cell. The regular frequencies use a conventional frequency reuse pattern to provide seamless overall coverage. A very tight frequency reuse pattern is used for the super-reuse frequencies to provide additional capacity.

Abstract: A mechanical part having a rolling contact surface (11a) with many isolated minute recesses. A maximum height Ry of a roughness curve R obtained by cutting this contact surface (11a) with a plane perpendicular thereto is 1-3 νm, and a peak height Rp with respect to the center line of the roughness curve R and a valley depth Rv with respect thereto have the relation of Rp/Rv≤0.3. This indicates that the contact surface (11a) has very low peaks of a relatively high distribution and very deep valleys of a relatively low distribution. Owing to the very low peaks of a relatively high distribution, a sufficiently wide contact area is secured. Owing to the valleys of a low distribution and a large depth, oil reservoirs of a sufficient capacity are formed.

Abstract: In this invention, a measurement of cell permeability is determined by obtaining a measure of the volume of fluid which crosses a sample cell membrane in response to an altered environment. A lytic agent may be used to drive fluid across the cell membranes and thereby cause a change in cell volume. An alteration in osmolality of a sample suspension is preferred, in which the sample suspension is subjected to a continuous osmotic gradient.

Abstract: The invention is a data pipeline system which synchronizes the display of digitized audio and video data regardless of the speed at which the data was recorded on its linear medium. To do this, the video data is played at a constant speed, synchronized by the audio speed. Further, the invention uses a method of "staging" data in storage buffers, i.e, ring buffers, which encourages efficient use of the viewer module resources by not permitting the viewer to read excessive amounts of data at any one time, i.e., to read only enough data into any one ring buffer so that the amount of data in the ring buffer is roughly equivalent to the amount of data in the other ring buffers and yet permitting the viewer to read large enough chunks of data to promote efficient use of the fill system. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method of coding stereo audio spectral values first carries out grouping of those values in scale factor bands, with which scale factors are associated. Sections are formed next, each comprising at least one scale factor band. The spectral values are coded within at least one section with a code book assigned to the section, out of a plurality of code books each with a code book number assigned to it, the number of the code book used being transmitted as side information to the coded stereo audio spectral values. At least one additional code book number is provided, which does not refer to a code book but shows information relevant to the section to which it is assigned. A method of decoding stereo audio spectral values which are partly coded by the intensity stereo process and which have side information uses the relevant information, showing the additional code book numbers, to cancel the existing coding of the stereo audio spectral values.

Abstract: A method of cooling a mould tool that is comprised of or includes at least in part (3, 4) a porous material having communicating pores, such as a microporous metal or metal alloy, with the aid of condensed gas, preferably CO2. Gas is delivered to the porous material in an essentially liquid state and is caused to vaporise as a result of pressure drops in cavities (9, 10) and pores in the material, to effectively cool the tool. The gas vaporised in the porous material (3, 4) is channelled to one or more conductors (15) sealingly connected to said material. These conductors conduct the gas to a condenser (14), in which the gas is again condensed. The therewith condensed gas is again delivered to the porous material (3, 4), said material being utilized as a communications link in the resultant tool-cooling circuit. The invention also relates to apparatus for use when carrying out the method.
