Abstract: The invention relates to an optical fiber sealing unit that contains a basic bundle consisting of light-transmitting fibers, a signalling bundle also consisting of light-transmitting fibers, a cable sheath, and receiving bodies positioned at both ends of the cable sheath. The receiving bodies have an accepting space suitable for the fixing of at least some of the light-transmitting fibers, and a transmitting body that allows light to pass through it. The basic bundle and the signalling bundle are arranged in the cable sheath, and the one end and the other end of the basic bundle are each fixed in the accepting space of a receiving body in such a way that they cannot move, one end of the basic bundle being fitted to the transmitting body of one of the receiving bodies, and the other end of the basic bundle being fitted to the transmitting body of the other receiving body.

Abstract: The invention relates to new plant growth regulating compositions, which contain as active agent 0.001 to 95% by weight of one or more compound(s) of the general formula (I), ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 each represent hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1-5 alkyl group, a C.sub.5-7 cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, a halogen-substituted aryl group, an aralkyl group, a C.sub.2-5 alkenyl group or a C.sub.2-5 alkynyl group, orR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 form, together with the adjacent nitrogen atom, a morpholino, pyrrolidino, piperidino or perhydroazepinyl group, andR.sup.3 stands for hydrogen or a C.sub.1-5 alkyl group,together with an inert, solid, liquid and/or gaseous carrier or diluent, and optionally one or more additives, such as surfactants or other substances of plant biological activity.The compounds of the general formula (I) in which R.sup.1 is hydrogen and R.sup.2 stands for hydrogen, C.sub.1-3 alkyl, aralkyl or C.sub.3-5 alkenyl group, furthermore in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.3 are hydrogen and R.sup.

Abstract: The invention relates to new N-substituted amino propane sulfonic acid derivatives of the Formula I ##STR1## and salts and hydrates thereof, a process for the preparation thereof and plant growth regulating agents comprising the same whereinR.sup.1 and R.sup.2 may be identical or different and stand for hydrogen, halogen, lower alkyl or lower alkoxy andR stands for furyl; or lower alkyl or phenyl the two latter groups being optionally substituted by one or more halogeno atom(s).

Abstract: Racemic or optionally active 2-(propargyloxyimino)-1,7,7-trimethyl-bicyclo[2,2,1]heptane of the formula (I) ##STR1## or a mixture of these isomers is prepared by reacting a racemic or optically active 1,7,7-trimethyl-bicyclo[2,2,1]heptane derivative of the general formula (II), ##STR2## wherein Y stands for oxygen atom, sulfur atom or oxime group, with a propyne derivative of the general formula (III),R--CH.sub.2 --C.tbd.CH (III)whereinR stands for halogen atom or aminooxy group, with the proviso that if Y represents oxime group, R may stand only for halogen, and if R represents aminooxy group, Y may stand only for oxygen or sulfur atom.The resulting product is new and possesses strong plant growth promoting and insecticidal effects.This is a division of application Ser. No. 065,156, filed Aug. 9, 1979, now U.S. Pat. No. 4,244,888, Jan. 13, 1981.
