Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the day-neutral type primarily characterized by its early fruiting habit and ability to fruit year-round on a cyclic basis, commencing about three months after planting. The variety is a good runner producer in the summer and winter, whether rooted or not. The variety is further characterized by cymose branching with fruit occurring in clusters. The fruit is medium conic to flat wedgy and ranges internally from solid to hollow. Fruit size, durability and firmness are about the same as `Tioga` and the variety is suitable for commercial or home garden use.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant of the short-day type primarily characterized as the earliest fruiter of all California short-day varieties. The fruit is medium to short conic, slightly hollow internally with a firmness and durability about the same as `Tufts`, `Tioga` and `Aiko`. Fruit size is about the same as `Tioga` and has a flavor comparable to most California varieties in use. The variety is suitable for both fresh and processing markets.

Abstract: A chrysanthemum cultivar named Starfire having flat capitulum form, decorative capitulum type, white ray floret color, diameter across face of capitulum up to 75 mm., tall plant height, spreading branching pattern, average natural season flowering date of September 15, and average flowering response period of seven (7) weeks in photoperiodic controlled short day programs.
Abstract: A neutral buoyancy intraocular lens device, adapted for implantation in a human eye and having an optical lens portion and support members attached thereto for holding the lens in place, is provided with a portion having a mean density lower than the density of the aqueous humor of the eye and a size large enough to decrease the mean density of the entire device to substantially the same as the aqueous humor of the eye to produce neutral buoyancy relative thereto, thereby increasing the compatibility of the device with the human user's eye and reducing trauma to the eye. The low-density portion may be an integral part of the lens and support structure, or may be a separate member attached thereto, and the lower mean density may be achieved by the use of a void or a relatively low density material.
Abstract: A collapsable, articulated wall structure is formed from pivotally interconnected links. In an erected configuration, the wall has a generally planar face which is suitable for hanging display posters. In a collapsed configuration, the wall folds into a compact bundle of generally parallel links. The wall is comprised of a plurality of rectangular parallelpiped sections. Each section has a first plurality of pivots in the four corners defining a face of the section and a second plurality of pivots on the other four corners of the section. The first plurality of pivots is connected with the second plurality of pivots by a plurality of side links which are pivotally interconnected in an X-shaped arrangement. Displaced slightly inward from the face plane is a face pivot which is connected to the first plurality of pivots by four face links. The section is releasably locked in its erected configuration by a locking link.
