Abstract: A Methylobacterium sp. nov. strain, deposited under accession number CECT 9580, to compositions comprising it, and its use as bio-stimulant and endophyte nitrogen-fixing bacterium in plants.

Abstract: The automated projectile launching device is a pitching machine that can launch biodegradable balls. The device is intended to provide a portable batter-training implement, that is capable of giving the user the change in velocity, angle of pitch and change in range, that comes naturally because of the variations in dimensions of bio-degradable balls. The use of bio-degradable balls further prevents the need to collect the balls after practice as they break on forced contact into smaller pieces and dissolve when wet with water, making it environment friendly. Furthermore, the compact, lightweight, and portable pitching machine includes multiple placement and incline options. Additionally, the device includes multiple components that are flexible, for the smooth handling of the bio-degradable balls. Thus, the automated projectile launching device is a unique training aid for all hitters, that can provide various pitch locations and angle variations effortlessly, and thus effective training.

Abstract: A convertible wheelchair and walker having a frame constructed of two front legs connected to each other by upper and lower front cross members, each cross members having a u-shape that is affixed to the front legs by a bracket attached to the arms of the cross member and front legs, and two rear legs pivotally connected to the front legs and connected to each other by at least one upper rear cross member also having a u-shape and affixed to the rear legs by a bracket attached to the arms of each cross member and rear leg. Two front wheels are attached to the front legs which are curved forward to elongate the frame and provide increased stability. Two rear wheels attached to the rear legs, and footrests are attached to the front legs.
