Abstract: The invention relates to glyphosate tolerant sugar beet plants, plant material and seeds. It is the object of the invention to provide a transgenic sugar beet plant event that shows a high level of tolerance against glyphosate, but is not impaired in other important agronomic properties such as growth, yield, quality, pathogen resistance etc.

Abstract: A safety guard rail (7) can be moved between a position adjacent a nip between two rotating cylinders (3, 4) and a remote position. The safety guard rail has flanges (8, 9) attached thereto, projecting essentially parallel to cover plates (5, 6) already present in the printing machine. The cover plates are formed with guide slits (12, 13) extending downwardly at an inclination, in which guide elements (10, 11) engage, secured to the projecting flanges which hold the safety guard rail (7). Limit switches are coupled to be engaged by the flanges and/or the guide elements to provide ON and OFF signals, in dependence on the position of the safety guard rail with respect to the nip, to inhibit printing machine operation when the guard rail is in a remote position, for example for changing of rubber blankets on the cylinders, and permitting printing machine operation only when the safety guard rail (7) is adjacent the nip to be able to carry out its safety guarding function.

Abstract: A production line for working on a succession of workpieces has a transporter or conveyor defining a longitudinal path for carrying and displacing the succession of workpieces in longitudinal stop-and-go steps through a succession of stations generally longitudinally equispaced along the path, respective machines at the stations for lifting the workpieces off the conveyor and working on the workpieces as same are stopped between transport steps, and a lifter at at least one of the stations for raising the workpieces thereof off the conveyor and holding them clear thereof between transport steps. Thus some of the stations are merely holding or nonworking stations where nothing is done to the workpieces. The machines at this or these stations can be adapted to work only on other types of workpieces mixed in with the production run, or only on certain of the workpieces for custom work.

Abstract: Interference suppression filter, including a metal cup having an open end, a ring core choke, a wound capacitor and a discharge resistor being interconnected and cast together in the metal cup, first and second network side and appliance side connectors being extended outwardly through the open end of the cup, the first connectors each being connected to the ring core choke and having free ends, an insulator plate disposed adjacent the open end of the cup, and resilient clamping elements being disposed on the plate, at least the free ends of the first connectors being held by the clamping elements, and the second connectors being dip-soldered to the first connectors.

Abstract: A first succession of workpieces is displaced along a first conveyor path past a work station in steps and a second succession of workpieces is displaced past the work station in steps synchronously with the first succession along a second conveyor path crossing the first path at an intersection adjacent the work station. The workpieces of the first and second successions are alternately arrested adjacent the work station so that as a workpiece of one succession is arrested adjacent the station the workpieces of the other succession are moving and vice versa. A tool at the station works alternately on the arrested workpieces. Thus as a workpiece of one succession is being held stationary and worked on a workpiece of the other succession is being removed from adjacent the station and replaced with the following workpiece of the other succession. The workpieces are transported horizontally generally at the same level and the paths cross at the intersection generally at a right angle.

Abstract: Lateral escape of ink from between the end face (A) of a duct roller (1) and the side wall (3) retaining the duct roller is prevented by extending the length of the duct blade (11) beyond the axial extent of the duct roller and placing an end wall portion (4) in the end wall which is resiliently pressed against the end face (A) of the duct roller and, further, resiliently engaged with the top face of the duct blade (11) to form a tight seal and prevent escape of ink laterally from between the duct blade (11) and the duct roller (1). The resilient portion is plate-like, and the sealing strip preferably is a generally T-shaped element, in which the leg portion of the T is clamped to both the resilient portion (4) of the end wall and the fixed portion (3) thereof, while permitting relative movement of the two elements.

Abstract: The invention described herein is a new and novel prime mover device which operates as in integral component of a heat vapor cycle which, in combination, represents a heat engine system consisting of a closed, vertically oriented fluid recirculation system, utilizing a non-compressible fluid as a working medium.Wherein the device's fluid downward flowing section comprises a fluid penstock and a hydraulic turbine, whose function is the conversion of the downward flowing fluid's potential energy into kinetical energy and then into mechanical energy by driving the turbine which, in turn, drives the electrical generator.
