  • Nucleic acids encoding tospovirus genome and expression thereof
    Patent number: 6150585
    Abstract: Recombinant DNA constructs comprising a DNA coding for transcription into an RNA sequence of tospoviruses or into RNA sequences related thereto, the use of such DNA constructs to transform plants having reduced susceptibility to tospovirus infection and probes for the isolation of tospovirus or diagnosis of plant tospovirus diseases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 26, 1996
    Date of Patent: November 21, 2000
    Assignee: Novartis Finance Corporation

  • Nucleic acids encoding tospovirus genome and expression thereof
    Patent number: 5939600
    Abstract: Recombinant DNA constructs comprising a DNA coding for transcription into an RNA sequence of tospoviruses or into RNA sequences related thereto, the use of such DNA constructs to transform plants having reduced susceptibility to tospovirus infection and probes for the isolation of tospovirus or diagnosis of pant tospovirus diseases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 1996
    Date of Patent: August 17, 1999
    Inventors: Robert Willem Goldbach, Dirk Peters, Johannes Jacobus Ludgerus Gielen, Petrus Theodorus de Haan, Arnoldus Johannes Kool, Martinus Quirunus Joseph Marie van Grinsven
  • Sugar amines and sugar amides and use as glues
    Patent number: 5905115
    Abstract: Condensation products having adhesive properties are obtained by reaction of a polyamine with at least two equivalents of an oligosaccharide or a derivative thereof. Examples of the oligosaccharide include glucose, lactose, lactobionic acid and gluconic acid. Examples of the polyamine include diethylene triamine and triethylene tetraamine. The reaction may be a direct amination of the oligosaccharide, with the formation of a glycosylamine and optional N-acylation, or a reductive amination of the oligosaccharide, a glycitylamine being obtained, or alternatively an amidation of an glyconic acid. The condensation products can be used for gluing, for example, paper, cardboard, wood, plastic or glass at low or high temperature.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 29, 1997
    Date of Patent: May 18, 1999
    Assignee: Cooperatieve Weiproduktenfabriek "Borculo" W. A.
    Inventors: Hendrikus Luitjes, Silvan De Spirt, Augustinus Emmanuel Frissen, Jacobus Van Haveren, Robert Willem Frederik Kammelar
  • Constructs containing impatiens necrotic spot tospovirus RNA and methods of use thereof
    Patent number: 5773700
    Abstract: Recombinant Impatiens Necrotic Spot Virus (INSV) DNA constructs comprising an INSV DNA coding for transcription into INSV RNA sequences or into RNA sequences related thereto, the use of such DNA constructs to transform plants having reduced susceptibility to INSV infection and probes for the isolation of INSV or diagnosis of plant INSV related diseases.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 6, 1996
    Date of Patent: June 30, 1998
    Assignee: Andoz Ltd
    Inventors: Martinus Quirinius Joseph Marie Van Grinsven, Petrus Theodorus De Haan, Johannes Jacobus Ludgerus Gielen, Dirk Peters, Robert Willem Goldbach
  • Apparatus for supporting and printing non-circular containers
    Patent number: 3962970
    Abstract: A method and device for printing upon a container wall, wherein during printing the container inner wall is moved around a circular rotatable support which keeps the container wall pressed directly against a rotating printing surface at the stop on which it is being printed. The cross sectional area of said support is a certain fraction of the cross sectional area of the container and the longitudinal position of the container wall is registered for the printing with the aid of a second spaced circular and withdrawable inner positioning support.
