Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the manufacturing of farinaceous pasta products by admixing 5 to 40% wheat grist with a waxy hybrid maize grist having a starch fraction containing at least 90% of amylopectin, kneading, shaping, cooking and/or drying the pasta product.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cutting tool for manual grafting comprising a cutting element (1) with curved surface, a locating element (3) guided in a cutting direction (i) against the cutting element (1) for locating a plant part to be grafted and means for guiding the locating element (3) and fitting the cutting element (1), wherein the cutting element (1) on its convex surface is equipped with an edge and the cutting element (1) is shaped on the concave side under a relief angle (.beta.) in the range from 0.5.degree. to 3.degree., and on the convex side under a back slope (.alpha..sub.1) in the range from 0.75.degree. to 5.degree., both related to the cutting direction.

Abstract: A vehicle having a chassis divided into a front and rear section pivoted together. At least one of the sections having a crank driving system consisting of a pair of driving wheels attached with opposite eccentricity to a common driving shaft, which shaft supports one of the chassis sections. The axis of the driving shaft connects the wheels intersects a theoretical line passing through the center of the driving wheels at an acute angle and one wheel is fixed non-rotatably to the shaft while the other driving wheel is attached for free rotation relative to the shaft.

Abstract: A hand tool for use in performing manual agricultural grafting, comprises a fixed and a movable handle pivotally connected to each other and having working portions extending beyond the pivot. A coil tension spring connects the first handle to the working portion of the second handle thereby tending to spread the handles apart. The spring is connected to the same point on the working portion of the second handle as is pivotally connected to one end of an arm whose other end is pivotally connected to a positioning fork that locates the stock to be cut. The positioning device slides in a groove on the working portion of the first handle toward and away from a cutting edge carried by the working portion of the first handle.
