Abstract: The present invention relates to an amino acid sequence of second starch branching enzyme (SBE II) of potato and a fragment thereof as well as to the corresponding isolated DNA sequences. Furthermore, the invention relates to vectors comprising such an isolated DNA sequence, to processes for production of transgenic potatoes, and to the use of said potatoes for the production of starch. The starch obtained will show a changed pattern of branching of amylopectin as well as a changed amylose/amylopectin ratio.

Abstract: The disclosed system includes a declarative language construct for use in programming telecommunications switching systems, comprised of certain natural language elements such as subjects, predicates and objects. The disclosed system also includes an efficient method for constructing prototype telecommunications system software that provides the capability to handle the real-time and parallel nature of operations in telecommunications systems. In yet another aspect, the disclosed system provides a layered software architecture for use in connection with telecommunications switching systems that enhances overall system functionality.

Abstract: A fluid cooling device for a circular saw of centerless type having a ring-shaped saw blade, designed to be rotated about a fictitious center of the saw blade and with at least one disc (8, 108), mounted on the radially inner side of the ring-shaped saw blade. Mounting elements (9, 17) are provided at a rear part of the disc. At least one conduit (20) for a cooling or rinsing agent is provided with an inlet (22) for the conduit in the rear part of the disc and at least one outlet opening (25, 125) in the foremost part of the disc. The outlet opening (25, 125) is located adjacent the periphery of the disc and directed essentially parallel with or with an acute angle relative to a tangent at the interior edge (6) of the blade adjacent the outlet opening.

Abstract: A holder for connecting electrical conductors to contact surfaces on electrical components comprising gripping elements for grasping a component in the holder are intended to grip the component with their gripping surfaces by being pivoted from a rest position to an engagement position. Electrical contact pins can be moved into engagement against the contact surfaces on the component by actuators. An operating mechanism provided with cams can execute a turning movement, for pivoting the gripping elements such that their gripping surfaces approach the component and also for displacing the actuators such that they move the contact pins into engagement against the contact surfaces.

Abstract: This invention relates to a wood log unit, which in at least one end zone includes a portion with full cross-section while the portion inside thereof constitutes of at least one part with half a cross-section. The transition between the portion with full cross-section and the portion inside thereof consists of a recess, in which the portion with full cross-section fits and of a plane surface, which in principle is one quarter of the cross-sectional area for the full cross-section and extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the unit.

Abstract: A shell, especially for mortars, comprising a casing consisting of an outer layer and an inner layer, an intermediate layer disposed between the outer layer and the inner layer, splinter bodies contained within the intermediate layer, and at least one annular flange projecting outwards from the inner layer, the flange having an outwardly projecting end surface abutting against the inside of the outer layer.
