Abstract: A loadbearing construction unit which is compression-resistant and bending-resistant and formed of at least one shell and associated support elements. The support elements comprise at least two plate or rodlike elements which are tensioned with respect to each other to obtain a compressive or tensile stress on the elements.
Abstract: A generally dish-shaped container has a projection or projections at its mouth edge, and a recess or recesses in its bottom or its base, whereby such containers can be secured together to form a structure on a building block principle, by interengagement of the projection and recess. The structure can be formed by securing containers together in pairs at their mouth edges, and then securing two or more pairs together by means of the projection and recess interengagement.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel african violet plant which bears relatively large, unfading violet-blue blossoms over a long period of time.
Abstract: The composite wall element of this invention comprises an insulating wall element arranged within or inserted into an outer, pressure resistant, preferably load bearing wall element which completely encloses the former. Within the inner insulating wall element and/or the cavity within the outer wall element a substantially dry gas atmosphere and preferably air atmosphere is established and maintained under subatmospheric, atmospheric, or superatmospheric pressure. Such novel composite wall elements are superior in their thermal and/or acoustic insulation properties to heretofore known structural elements.
Abstract: A novel impatiens variety having a strong, rigid, arching growth habit and an attractive contrast between the variegated foliage and large pink blossoms.
Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for annealing glassware by passing the ware continuously through a tunnel in which the application of heat and recirculation of the gaseous treating medium is regulated to establish and maintain independently controllable heating and cooling zones. An endless perforated conveyor passes from end to end of the tunnel and the ware is placed on the conveyor in alignment with and beneath a jet-like blast of the treating medium internally and externally of the ware simultaneously to subject all of the ware to uniform treatment in minimum time. The treating medium in the heating zones of the tunnel is recirculated and furnace pressure and temperature is regulated by circulating fans and by dampers between the furnace chambers with the outside atmosphere.
Abstract: A kalanchoe cultivar having a slow, compact growth habit, but being highly floriferous, bearing many small orange-red flowers on numerous shoots.
