Abstract: The invention relates to a microwave applicator intended to radiate a uniform power intensity to an elongated zone of which the frequency is in a predetermined range situated around a central frequency F. This applicator includes a wave guide 1 provided with a plurality of resonant slots 4 of which the centers are separated by a distance of an even number of half wave lengths .lambda.g/2, if .lambda.g is the length of guided wave corresponding to the central frequency F. The shunt slots are aligned on a longitudinal axis situated in an axial plane of the guide and are each associated with an inside post arranged in the guide on the transverse axis of said slot, so that the various slots radiate with essentially uniform amplitude. The wave guide is provided with outside posts of adjustable height penetrating into each inside post through the guide and flanges rising above the guide at the periphery of the face provided with shunt slots.

Abstract: The bale row forming table of a three table type bale wagon has a bale alignment device cooperating therewith which acts to insure bale tiers of uniform dimensions by establishing bale rows of equal length, an effect achieved by monitoring the length of a bale row by means of trip levers located at the loading end of the table and at the end remote from the loading end and reversing the table conveyor whenever a short bale row is detected to reposition the last bale of the row.

Abstract: A work table and hold-down assembly for adapting a power hand saw such as a saber saw or jig saw for bench use. The assembly includes a work table which is clamped to the base of the saw, the work table having an opening through which the saw blade passes. A work hold-down member is held in adjustably spaced relation to the work table by a clamping swivel stem rotatably mounted in the opening of the work table, thereby permitting the work-holding member to be moved laterally with respect to the work. A safety shield carried by the work-holding member is in spaced, surrounding relation to the saw blade.

Abstract: A bale row forming table of a three table type bale wagon has an actuating lever which cooperates in detecting the length of a bale row and in repositioning the last bale of the row when a short row is detected. The actuating lever manipulates an electrical sensor in response to the presence or absence of a bale in contact therewith and is oriented so as to be displaced in only one direction regardless of whether it is contacted by a bale from above or from the side.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of and an apparatus for enabling a micro-organism culture to be gasified and agitated so as to accelerate its growth. The culture is contained in a fermenter which comprises two containers C.sub.1 and C.sub.2 which communicate with one another in their upper and lower regions. The method consists of injecting sterile air in the form of bubbles discontinuously at the base of one C.sub.1 of the containers with injection periods of predetermined length alternating with non-injection periods at a predetermined frequency. This sequential infeed of air produces a surging or pulsating effect in the culture which, for a given consumption of air, very considerably increases the density of micro-organism achieved at the end of a given period of time. The invention is applicable to the cultivation of all aerobic micro-organisms:cells, fungi, bacteria, etc.
