Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and means for producing nitrogenase polypeptides in the mitochondria of plant cells.

Abstract: An electric pushback vehicle includes a frame having a forward portion and a rear portion. The vehicle further includes front drive axle and a rear drive axle configured to communicate power to ground engaging members. A traction battery is housed within the electric pushback vehicle and provides electric power to an electric motor to drive an output shaft. A transmission is connected to receive mechanical power from the electric motor through a torque converter.

Abstract: Techniques control a utility vehicle. Such techniques involve storing electric power in a lithium battery of the utility vehicle. Such techniques further involve operating a motor controller of the utility vehicle in a normal mode in which the motor controller provides electric power from a lithium battery of the utility vehicle to an electric motor of the utility vehicle to turn one or more ground engaging members of the utility vehicle. Such techniques further involve, after operating the motor controller in the normal operating mode, operating the motor controller in a walkaway mode in which the motor controller configures the electric motor to provide braking torque.

Abstract: The present invention relates to methods and means for producing nitrogenase polypeptides in the mitochondria of plant cells. The present disclosure provides plant cells that express one or more MTP-Nif fusions and/or translational NifD-NifK and NifE-NifN fusions. The present disclosure also provides nucleic acid constructs encoding these fusions as well as expression constructs for expression and targeting of the fusions to the mitochondria of plant cells. The present disclosure also provides transgenic plants comprising the plant cells of the invention and products obtained therefrom.

Abstract: Apparatus include a communication interface, a trigger interface, computer-readable media encloded subscriber-originated recipient list data, and a user interface. The user interface is configured to display and receive input from, via a computer screen display, plural sets of screen-displayed destination setting selection indicators for individually configuring sets of destination settings for corresponding event types. Each set of destination settings corresponds to a corresponding one of plural selectable event types selectable for causing corresponding triggered messages to be sent including sending the given event-specific message to the corresponding list of recipients.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyurethane polymer comprising as part of its polymer backbone an ?-oxy carbonyl moiety of general formula (I), where A and B represent the remainder of the polymer backbone and are the same or different, and R is an optionally substituted aliphatic hydrocarbon having three or more carbon atoms.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing a polymer composition, the method comprising melt mixing an aliphatic condensation polymer with a cyclic ester of general formula (I) where X is an optionally substituted aliphatic hydrocarbon having 2 or more carbon atoms present in the cycle.

Abstract: A pipe joint assembly consisting of a transparent quill; an outer quill having at least a first view port, and having at least a first outwardly extending pipe coupling thread which extends longitudinally along and helically about the outer quill, the transparent quill being slidably received by the outer quill; a pair of baffles; and baffle mounting helical threads interconnecting the baffles and the outer quill, the baffle mounting helical threads positioning the baffle so that they extend radially inward from the outer quill, the baffle mounting helical threads further positioning the baffles for resisting longitudinal sliding and counter-sliding motions of the transparent quill.

Abstract: A two way wireless hand held PDA device that allows remote mobile creation of messages and sending of those messages to recipients via different delivery modes. The recipients can be formed into groups by different criteria, the messages can be created or imported and edited from the remote device, and the messages can be delivered via more than one mode. Status of messages sent and in process is maintained as is account information related to the message and the user. Also messages can be formatted, and can be conditionally sent and receivers can perform automatic actions when specific messages are received. (And actions can be carried out in remote systems based on the responses to messages sent).

Abstract: A flexible, programmable messaging system and method for associating specific happenings with particular services and users associated with those services is disclosed. The contact means for the users are held in a single database with retrievable historical information regarding the user and/or the service. Users and administrators are defined where the user may exercise a group of predetermine privileges. Users may subscribe and un-subscribe to one or more services. The administrator may exercise more privileges or all the privileges, and the additional privileges will include creating messages related to specific happenings, editing of the billing for the service, editing subscription forms, managing the members of a service and tracking the delivery of message. The presentation pages and the messaging format are arranged using templates with predetermined information and formats that may be programmable. The system is arranged in a client/server arrangement where standard servers can be used.

Abstract: A central platform allows a hydra or other surgical device to be attached to a horizontal bar suspended over a patient during surgery. The platform is made of stainless steel and has integrally formed clamping and attaching portions. The clamping portion has a cylindrical bore for receiving the bar and a slot extending from the cylindrical bore. At least one thin portion adjacent the cylindrical bore allows the clamping portion to have enough flexibility for clamping. A key passes through a threaded bore and is tightened to clamp the clamping portion onto the bar. The attaching portion has a post for attaching the hydra or other device. The post has positioning projections to hold the hydra in a desired position. The post also has a threaded portion, so that the hydra can be held on with a wing nut.
