Title: Hose-end aspiration-type sprayer
Inventor: DODD JOSEPH K
IPC: B05B7/04
Filed: 2001-08-07
Abstract: An aspiration-type sprayer assembly adapted for being coupled to both the end of the hose and to a chemical container has a housing including a carrier liquid inlet passage, a chemical liquid inlet passage and a discharge passage. The cylindrical rotatable valve within the housing has a carrier liquid duct and a chemical liquid duct opening into the carrier duct for interconnecting the inlet passage in a first rotative position of the valve, and the valve is capable of closing the inlet passages in a second rotative position of the valve. The rotatable nozzle versus the discharge in selective directions, and the assembly is capable of being manipulated by the provision of a handle grip.

Abstract: An improved method for processing corn into ethanol and other valuable co-products. The invention generally involves a multi-step process which produces germ (or oil), protein, and feed yeast as its co-products while maintaining or enhancing the provision of fermentable sugar to ethanol fermentation. This is accomplished by fundamentally altering the way the corn is fractionated, disrupting the cell walls rather than the protein matrix as is done in conventional wet milling.

Title: Dna constructs containing nucleic acid molecules coding for samdc, and methods for altering plant lignin content and/or composition using same
Inventor: PAPES FABIO
IPC: A01H1/00
Filed: 2005-08-05
Abstract: Polynucleotides, DNA constructs and methods are disclosed for the modification of lignin content in plant tissues. Plants are transformed with a DNA molecule encoding an active S-adenosylmethionine decarboxylase (SAMdc) enzyme. The over-expression of a SAMdc gene in the plant's vascular system leads to decreased S-adenosylmethionine availability and consequently to an overall decrease in lignin content. Plant transformants harboring a SAMdc coding nucleic acid molecule are expected to demonstrate decreased levels of lignin, a trait that is thought to render woody trees more amenable to cellulose extraction and improve the pulping and papermaking processes.
