Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a genetically modified plant or woody plant with improved growth properties (in terms of biomass and wood quality) as compared to a corresponding non-genetically modified wild type plant or woody plant, said method comprising altering the level of expression of a polypeptide in a plant cell or woody plant cell; a plant or woody plant; or a part thereof.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of using ring signal files in a portable communication device, such a portable communication device as well as a computer program product for performing the method. The portable communication device (10) comprises a radio communication unit (30) for receiving ring signal files (RSF1, RSF2) and incoming phone calls, a file storage (36) for storing received ring signal files and a play list file (PLF) associated with the received ring signal files and a ring signal handling unit (34), which sets the play list file for use in alerting incoming phone calls and plays ring signal files according to a playing order of the play list file. The radio communication unit orders, upon receiving incoming calls, the ring signal handling unit to select ring signal files according to the playing order and play these selected ring signal files for alerting a user of the incoming calls.

Abstract: An apparatus for plating workpieces by electrolytic treatment in several steps comprises means (2) to hold and rotate the workpiece (5), a plurality of electrodes, at least one of which being adapted, in each step, to be located at the workpiece by means of a holder (10), and means to supply, in each step, a certain electrolyte to the region of the rotating workpiece and the non-rotating electrode. A plurality of electrode holders (10) with associated electrodes are arranged on a common carrier (11), which is adjustably movable relative to the rotatable workpiece (5) to selectively locate an optional electrode holder with associated electrode(s) intended for the desired treatment step in an operative position relative to the rotatable workpiece. The carrier (11) is preferably rotatable.

Abstract: An electret device has a dielectric layer containing electret charges and a radioactive layer on one of the surfaces of the dielectric layer.
