Abstract: The invention relates to an automotive delimber, with the aid of which large branches on trees, but also whole trees, can be held and trimmed. For this purpose, either so-called felling saws, which were fixed to the front end of a hydraulic crane and gripped the trunk with claws and performed the sawing off with a pivotable undercut swing saw, were used hitherto or the other solution consisted in a worker being lifted in a lifting basket to the relevant point and manually working there with a saw. In both cases, the sawn-off parts dropped in an uncontrolled manner, since although the felling saws also firmly held the piece they could not keep it in the original position since it was not possible to transmit torque to the crane arm using them. The saws were fixed by means of two universal joints. In the present case, this is prevented by choosing a connection between the felling-saw unit and the machine frame which can withstand both bending forces and torques. For this purpose, the felling-saw unit (8) is fixed in a controlled rotatable and pivotable manner with respect to a torsionally rigid, jointless telescoping crane arm (5), so that the entire work can be carried out by remote control from the cab of the automotive delimber. This avoids expensive shut-off devices and safety measures.

Abstract: The use of an alkoxylated stabiliser containing polyoxyalkylene chains to impart a core-sheath structure to particles of film-forming polymer to enable them to form a stable aqueous coating composition wherein the core contains film-forming polymer and the sheath contains the polyoxyalkylene chains which contain 6 to 40 oxyalkylene units some of which are covalently bonded to the core and which are provided by an alkoxylated C18 fatty alcohol containing more than one non-terminal and non-pendant ethylenic double bond. The stable aqueous coating composition can be formed even when the particles are very small (ie average diameter below 100 nm) without having to employ aromatic moieties or multiple terminal or pendant double bonds which either produce aromatic biodegradation products or are difficult to bio-degrade. Also the sterically stabilised particles and coatings formed from film-forming material to which at least some stabiliser is bonded.

Abstract: In the subject invention an electronic control unit is used to control the air/fuel ratio in an engine combustion chamber in response to sensed engine parameters. More particularly, a magneto interface produces an ignition signal which is delivered to a spark plug. The spark plug is disposed essentially in the center of a combustion chamber, and it ignites an air/fuel mixture in the chamber in response to the ignition signal. A sensor such as an ion probe, for example, is further disposed in the combustion chamber longitudinally from the spark plug. The sensor produces an ionization signal in response to a flame front propagating past the sensor. A buffer circuit receives the ignition and ionization signals and produces a combustion signal in response to a time difference between the reception of these signals. The electronic control unit receives the combustion signal and calculates a combustion signal air/fuel ratio in response to the combustion signal. Both the combustion signal and the combustion signal air/fuel ratio are responsive to changes in the quality of the fuel in the combustion chamber. Subsequently, the control unit calculates a volumetric air/fuel ratio. The volumetric air/fuel ratio is indicative of the volume of air and fuel in the combustion chamber, and it does not account for fluctuations in fuel quality. Finally, a wastegate is controlled in response to the volumetric and combustion signal air/fuel ratios.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for making more efficient the particle-mediated germ line genetic transformation of bean species such as soybean. After a particle-mediated transformation event, in the absence of a selectable marker gene, relatively large numbers of plants must be regenerated to find the relatively low likelihood germ line transformation events which have occurred. It has been discovered that using in the transformation process a marker gene linked to the gene of interest, and by excising a segment of the stem of the shoot during the regeneration process and assaying the sequent for the marker gene, certain patterns or phenotypes can be identified in the stem segment which are associated with an increased frequency of germ line transformation events. As the plants are regenerated, other indices of gene expression, at the first trifoliate leaf stage and at the third or fourth trifoliate leaf stage, also serve as markers of the likelihood of germ line transformation. By using these markers in the relatively early stages of plant regeneration to assay for likelihood of germ line events, it is possible to concentrate regeneration efforts on plants most likely to yield germ line events, and to discard the others, so as to lower the burden and effort in achieving a desired number of transformation events.

Abstract: The apparatus serves for treating workpieces by means of a plasma torch in a gaseous, preferably in an inert gaseous atmosphere. For this purpose, there is provided a gas-tight container and, in the interior of the container, a plasma gun as well as a cooling member for cooling the treated workpiece by a gaseous cooling medium stream. The cooling medium is a gas circulating in a closed circuit. Thus, the cooling gas can continuously used because heat is removed from the gas in a heat exchanger. A cooling operation can be realized in this way in temperature regions which are much higher than if liquefied gas is used.

Abstract: In sheet-fed rotary printing machines for perfecting, a double gearwheel with a coupling device is provided in the gear train. Said coupling device is to be made to function automatically whilst the double gearwheel is to remain simple in terms of construction and not additionally loaded in terms of weight. 
<??>The coupling device consists of a substantially two-part annular mechanism (36, 37) which is attached movably to the machine frame (26). Together with an outer ring (37) an inner ring (36) forms a compression space which is pressurised with hydraulic fluid for uncoupling. In this process, the rings (36, 37) are pressed apart until the outer ring (37) strikes against a clamping device for the gearwheel ring on the double gearwheel and the inner ring (36) against an unlocking element (39) on the main gearwheel and the clamping force of the clamping device on the gearwheel ring is reduced. The forces to be applied are conducted inside the double gearwheel. For renewed clamping, the annular space is again made pressureless. In the state of rest, the coupling device does not touch the gearwheel.

Abstract: In such a method and apparatus for detecting microbiological growth in a sealed sample container, pressure within the headspace of the container is monitored for detecting rate of change of such headspace pressure. Presence of microbiological growth within the container is indicated as a function of rate of change of headspace pressure. The rate of pressure change is compared with a standard rate for a family of microorganisms., and growth is indicated when the rate of pressure change (which may be positive or negative) exceeds the absolute value of the standard rate (which also may be positive or negative). For detecting microbiological growths which may have differing growth rates, absolute value of rate of pressure change is compared to a plurality of standard rates for differing families of microorganisms. At least some of the rates may be positive, corresponding to growth of gas-producing organisms, and at least some of the rates may be negative, corresponding to growth of gas-consuming organisms. In either case, microbiological growth in the test sample is indicated when absolute mathematical value of the rate of headspace pressure change exceeds absolute mathematical value of any of the standard rates.
