  • Patent number: 12059796
    Abstract: Inserts disposed in a housing of a pneumatically or hydraulically powered tool having a motor adapted to rotate a drive lug in either of first and second rotational directions. The insert is composed of a material resistive to creep and/or stress relaxation. The insert contacts fasteners applying a clamping force to the tool and remove the housing from the load path of the clamping force, thereby reducing the possibility of fluid leaks.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20090281038
    Abstract: The present invention relates to plant proteins produced by a plant's epidermal layer that contribute to the innate pest/disease resistance of the plant (“phylloplanins’), compositions comprising the phylloplanins and methods of using the them. In particular the methods relate to inhibiting or prevent microbial, e.g., fungal or bacterial, growth on a subject, organism or surface, particularly inhibiting or preventing spoilage of food products due to microbial infection and growth. The invention also relates to transformed host cells that produce the phylloplanins, and to transgenic plants producing phylloplanins conferring increased resistance to microbial infections/growth.
