Abstract: Osteogenic bone implant compositions that approximate the chemical composition of natural bone are provided. The organic component of these implant compositions is osteoinductive despite the presence of the inorganic component and, further, is present in an amount sufficient to maximize the regenerative capabilities of the implant without compromising its formability and mechanical strength. The composition may be an osteoinductive powder, including demineralized bone matrix (DBM) particles, a calcium phosphate powder, and, optionally, a biocompatible cohesiveness agent. The powder may be combined with a physiologically-acceptable fluid to produce a formable, osteoinductive paste that self-hardens to form a poorly crystalline apatitic (PCA) calcium phosphate having significant compressive strength. The bone implant materials retain their cohesiveness when introduced at an implant site and are remodeled into bone in vivo. Methods for using these implant materials to repair damaged bone and a method of assaying the content of DBM particles, by weight, in a bone implant material are also provided.

Abstract: A transmission block (12, 12') having an allocation signal (11, 11') is transmitted and the allocation signal (11, 11') is received by the mobile radio device that is to be tested. The mobile radio device that is to be tested checks whether it has been allocated the following transmission block (13, 13') by the received allocation signal (11, 11'). If an allocation has been determined, a message signal is transmitted in the following transmission block (13, 13') by the mobile radio device that is to be tested, said message signal being received by the tester. It is then determined if a message signal in the following transmission block (13, 13') has been received by the mobile radio device that is to be tested after an allocation signal (11, 11'), which is addressed to the mobile radio device that is to be tested. The number of allocation signals (11, 11') addressed to the mobile radio device that is to be tested which have not been recognized is then determined, wherein the allocation signal (11, 11') that is to be transmitted is selected from an allocation signal addressed to the mobile radio device that is to be tested and at least another allocation signal addressing another mobile radio device of the same transmission signal.

Abstract: Phospholipo-proteins which have been enzyme modified may be used as an emulsifier to improve the emulsion stability of frozen products, e.g., during the freeze thaw and vacuum cool processes. Especially preferred is use of the enzyme phospholipase A to modify egg yolk and to use the modified egg yolk as an emulsifier in frozen products.      Creation of a more stable emulsion can be expected to improve the overall appearance of the final product both in the frozen state and after the product has been reheated. Although egg yolk is preferred, examples of other phospholipo-protein containing substances include casein, skim milk, buttermilk, whey, cream, soybean, yeast, whole egg, blood serum and wheat proteins.

Abstract: Seedlings are typically grown in trays of soil plugs. Once the seedlings have attained a predetermined size, they may be transplanted to the ground for continued seedling growth and development. Several machines are known in the art, which allow automated seedling transplantation. The present invention provides a device that significantly improves the accuracy of automated transplantation of seedlings. The device encompasses, at least in preferred aspects, a ski-like apparatus (12,13) including a defined planting slot (18) for receiving the seedlings to be planted. Furthermore, a blade (19) extending in front of the device cuts open the ground in preparation for plantation. The configuration of the device enables seedlings to be planted accurately to a desired planting depth. The device is particularly suited for use in connection with coniferous tree seedlings, and enables automated transplantation of such seedlings at high speed. The invention pertains to the device, to machines adapted to incorporate the device, and also to methods of seedling transplantation involving the device.

Title: Apparatus and process for the underwater pelletization of polymers
Inventor: WAGGONER MARION GLEN
IPC: B29C48/05
Filed: 2004-07-28
Abstract: Underwater melt pelletizer dies which have a highly thermally conductive pathway from their heating source to the vicinity of the polymer exit end of their die holes and have a thermally insulating material at that end of their die holes have improved operability and can pelletize thermoplastics which are otherwise difficult or impossible to pelletize with such an apparatus. The main construction members of such a die are a relatively high strength but relatively low thermal conductivity plate (21), a second plate having a relatively low strength but relatively high thermal conductivity (22), a coller (23) (which is usually of relatively high strength but need not have a high thermal conductivity) to help hold the assembly together, and relatively strong mounting hole liners (24). These parts of the die may be joined by "temporary" mechanical means such as bolts (not shown), but are preferably permanently joined together by welding and/or brazing, shown by regions (25) and (26). For example, (21) and (23) may be steel or stainless steel, and may be joined by welding. Then (22), which may be copper or a copper or aluminium alloy, may be brazed to both (21) and (23).
