Abstract: A refiner disk (26) or disk segment (42) cast from a stainless steel alloy having a composition of 0.2 percent to 0.6 percent carbon, 0.5 to 1.5 percent manganese, 0.5 percent to 1.5 percent silicon, a maximum of 0.05 percent sulfur, a maximum of 0.05 percent phosphorus, 14 percent to 18 percent chromium, 2 percent to 5 percent nickel, 2 percent to 4 percent copper, a maximum of 1 percent molybdenum, 1.5 percent to 5.0 percent niobium, a maximum of 1.5 percent vanadium, and a maximum of 0.5 percent total of at least one element selected from either rare earth metals and/or magnesium, the balance being iron. The niobium and vanadium form discrete carbides at high temperatures during the melting process. The rare earth metals and/or magnesium enhances the toughness of the disk by helping to shape the carbides and control them as discrete particles. Upon cooling, the carbides are preferably distributed evenly throughout the structure. This resultant alloy provides toughness and corrosion resistance like a lower carbon alloy plus increased wear resistance due to the carbide formation. The alloy utilizes chromium to impart corrosion resistance, the process of tying up carbon as discrete, non-chromium carbides increases the amount of chromium present to provide corrosion resistance.

Title: Transgenic reduction of sinapine in crucifera
Inventor: SELVARAJ GOPALAN
IPC: C12N15/82
Filed: 2000-05-05
Granted: 2010-07-20
Abstract: The sinapine content of seeds of Brassica napus, and other crucifera plants, and the resulting seed meal made therefrom, is reduced by transforming cells of the plants to incorporate an expressible exogenous CYP84 monooxygenase enzyme, particularly ferulate 5-hyroxylase (F5H) enzyme, or an antisense equivalent thereof. This allows for the production of a seed meal that is commercially more valuable. Three specific nucleic acid sequences encoding the F5H polypeptide are disclosed, designated BNF5H1, BNF5H2 and BNF5H3, and genetic constructs produced. The antisense suppression of sinapine is preferred, which can reduce the sinapine content of seed meal by up to 40% compared to wild type or vector-only transformed plants.

Abstract: A control valve system has two valve trains each of which has a series of valves which dynamically move between a deactuated position and an actuated position. An inlet of the valve system is connected to an outlet of the valve system when all of the valves are actuated and the outlet of the valve system is connected to an exhaust when all of the valves are deactuated. Each valve train includes a solenoid valve which when actuated moves the remaining valve members to their actuated position. The various valves of each valve train are interconnected with the valve of the other valve train such that actuation of all of the valves in a substantially simultaneous manner will connect the inlet of the valve system to the outlet of the valve system and deactuation of all of the valves in a substantially simultaneous manner will connect the outlet to the exhaust. The valve system monitors the dynamic movement of the valve members during its operation will move to a locked out condition when any valve is in a deactuated position and when one other valve is in an actuated position. In the locked out condition, the outlet of the valve system is corrected to the exhaust. The valve system will remain in this locked out condition until a resetting operation is performed.
