Abstract: The invention provides DNA compositions that relate to transgenic insect resistant maize plants. Also provided are assays for detecting the presence of the maize DAS-59122-7 event based on the DNA sequence of the recombinant construct inserted into the maize genome and the DNA sequences flanking the insertion site. Kits and conditions useful in conducting the assays are provided.

Abstract: A media injection fitting for the insertion or removal of a media from the interior of a high voltage separable connector component having an access to the interior of the component. The fitting is comprised of a central body portion having a passage from an exterior side surface to the bore of a pin extending beyond the fitting for insertion into the bore of the access. A skirt extends from one end of the body portion so proportioned and configured as to be positionable upon the outer surface of the component access with a locking means on the interior surface of the skirt to fix the fitting upon the access. A pulling eye extends from the second end of the body portion to permit installation and removal of the fitting from the surface of the access. A coupling on the exterior side surface connected to the passage permits the insertion or removal of a media from the component or the venting of gases contained therein.

Abstract: There is provided a method of extending the serviceable life of a stranded conductor electrical distribution cable wherein the interstices of the conductor are filled with a curable silicone water block composition which is subsequently cured to a non-flowing state. The composition has a low viscosity and comprises (A) an Si-H endblocked polydiorganosiloxane fluid, (B) a polydiorganosiloxane fluid endblocked with an unsaturated organic radical, (C) a siloxane crosslinker, (D) a hydrosilation catalyst and (E) a polymerization inhibitor. Proper selection of catalyst and inhibitor concentrations imparts a controllable viscosity-time profile to the composition and allows cables of various sizes and lengths to be filled before the water block composition cures.

Abstract: There is provided a method for restoring in-service electrical distribution cable having a stranded conductor and polyolefin insulation, comprising(i) drying the interstices of said conductor,(ii) exposing the interior of said cable to an anti-treeing additive till said additive is absorbed by the insulation,(iii) filling the interstices of said stranded conductor with a water block composition comprising (A) an Si-H endblocked polydiorganosiloxane fluid; (B) a polydiorganosiloxane fluid; (C) a siloxane crosslinker; (D) a hydrosilation catalyst; and (E) a polymerization inhibitor, and(iv) curing said water block composition to a non-flowing state. Proper selection of catalyst and inhibitor concentrations imparts a controllable viscosity-time profile to the composition and allows cables of various sizes and lengths to be filled before the water block composition cures.
