Title: Process for avoiding stickers in the annealing of cold strip under hydrogen-containing atmospheres
Inventor: ZYLLA PETER
IPC: C21D1/70
Filed: 1996-08-09
Abstract: When cold strip steel is annealed, diffusion welds, so-called stickers, frequently form on the strip's surface. In order to avoid these, the cold strip, above 600°C (holding time) is coated by oxidation with a thin surface film which prevents sticking. Below 600°C, during the cooling phase, this surface film is removed by reduction. In the case where a protective gas comprising hydrogen is used in an amount of greater than 5%, with the remainder being nitrogen, carbon dioxide is preferably added as an oxidizing agent. The process is controlled via a defined oxygen partial pressure. The reduction is performed via the hydrogen.

Title: Electrostatic shock prevention device for use in vehicles
Inventor: SUTHERLAND COLIN A
IPC: H05F3/02
Filed: 1996-09-27
Abstract: A driver or passenger in a vehicle will often experience an electrostatic shock on exiting the vehicle. The invention solves this problem in a simple but effective manner by providing an appropriate discharge path. The finger recess in the door handle is lined with a conductive material which is connected to the metallic structure of the door, or otherwise to the vehicle body. This measure prevents the accumulation of an electric potential between the driver or passenger and the vehicle so that no discharge occurs.

Title: Genetic transformation using a parp inhibitor
Inventor: DE BLOCK MARC
IPC: C12N15/09
Filed: 1996-07-31
Abstract: The invention concerns a process for producing transgenic eucaryotic cells, particularly plants, which comprises: contacting a culture of untransformed cells with an inhibitor of poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase for a period of time sufficient to reduce the response of the cultured cells to stress and to reduce their metabolism. The untransformed cells are then contacted with foreign DNA comprising at least one gene of interest under conditions in which the foreign DNA is taken up by the untransformed cells and the gene of interest is stably integrated in the nuclear genome of the untransformed cells to produce the transgenic cells. Optionally, the transgenic cells are recovered from the culture. Preferably, the inhibitor is niacinamide, preferably at a concentration of about 200 mg/l to 500 mg/l and the untransformed cells are cultured in a medium containing the inhibitor for a period of time of approximately 3 to 14 days prior to the contacting with the foreign DNA. The invention also relates to a plant having in the nuclear genome of its cells foreign DNA integrated only in the regions of the nuclear genome that are transcriptionally active in cells of the plant when the cells are treated with an effective amount of a PARP inhibitor for a period of time sufficient to reduce cell metabolism to a state where gene expression is essentially limited to genes expressed irrespective of the differentiated or physiological condition of the cell.

Title: A fraud-proof credit collecting method on inductive cards
Inventor: DOS SANTOS GILDEMAR
IPC: G06K7/08
Filed: 1995-05-05
Abstract: Invention patent for "a fraud-proof credit collecting method on inductive cards" refers to a reading and credit burning out process on inductive debit cards based on the division of the set of credit cells into sectors, for the purpose of collecting credits, in which all the credit cells of each sector are to be burnt out before proceeding to the next sector. The burning out sequence order of the credit cells is pseudo-random and standardized, being invariant in relation to the orientation indicia contained on the card itself.  On inserting the card into the reading head, a mapping of all non-burnt-out cells as well as those burnt out is made and compared with said burning out sequence order and whenever any card does not comply to the standardized burning out sequence order it is considered as frauded and will be immediatly rejected.
