Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Chinese Juniper plant of the Golden Pfitzer type named Gold Lace is provided. The new variety is a spontaneous mutation of Juniperus Golden Pfitzer (non-patented in the United States). The new variety grows more slowly, exhibits a more prostrate growth habit, and forms attractive deeper, richer, and more persistent golden foliage coloration (as illustrated). The new variety, because of its distinctive appearance is particularly suited for growing as a specimen plant, as a foundation planting, or as a decorative mass planting. Dense compact and soft-textured plants requiring very little maintenance are provided which impart vivid coloration to the modern landscape throughout the season.

Abstract: A Chrysanthemum plant named Light Falma particularly characterized by its flat capitulum form; decorative capitulum type; light-orange ray floret color; diameter across face of capitulum of 60 to 70 mm when fully opened, when grown as single stem cut mum; photoperiodic flowering response of 65 to 68 days to short days in Bogota, Colombia, under temperatures of minimum 6.3 degrees Celsius night and maximum 29 degrees Celsius day; plant height, with 14 long days prior to start of short days, ranges from 102 to 117 cm; peduncle length of the first lateral at flowering after removing the apical bud ranges from 8 to 10 cm; peduncle length of the fourth lateral ranges from 13 to 20 cm; and excellent tolerance to low night temperatures for bud initiation and flower development.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Alstroemeria characterized by its profuse production of medium sized flowers the outer petals of which are burnt orange in color, and the inner petals are mainly light yellow in color marked end to end with dark brown longitudinal pencil stripes, the plant itself having a vigorous upright growth habit with long stems and a more or less continuous production of flowers during each of its recurrent blooming seasons.

Abstract: A method of and an apparatus for controlling the revolution speed of an engine, suitable for use in an automobile having an automatic transmission. Flow rate of auxiliary intake air by-passing a throttle valve is controlled by an auxiliary air control valve, the opening period of which is incremented in response to a signal which represents the state of the automatic transmission shifted from neutral range to a power range so as to avoid any reduction in the engine speed or the engine stall. The valve open time is controlled as a function of the engine cooling water temperature.

Abstract: A stackable modular unit for a storage structure for flat objects, having two lateral, mutually distanced, wall members to which are attached or with which are integral at least two bottom members and at least one top member. The bottom and top members define supporting and guiding surfaces for the object, the lateral walls are provided with cut-outs in their lower portions, the upper edges of the walls and the cut-outs so configured as to permit, in the stacked state of the units, the nesting of the upper portion of each lateral wall of each unit in the cut-out of the corresponding wall of the next-higher of the stacked units. Any one of the objects, when introduced into, and slid onto the bottom members of, the nth of the stacked units, mechanically joins the nth unit to the (nth-1) unit.

Abstract: A filter including a plurality of filter discs each formed with a central opening and disposed in a stack within a filter housing with the side faces of adjacent discs contacting each other for filtering the fluid flowing through the housing from its inlet to its outlet, the filter discs being maintained in a stack by a plurality of axially-extending rods arranged in a circular array around the outer faces of the discs and circumferentially spaced from each other to permit the filter disc stack to be cleaned by passing a cleaning nozzle through the central openings of the filter discs in the stack.

Abstract: A sound or acoustic system constructed entirely of magnetically inert components which remain unaffected by magnetic fields. A magnetically inert panel is provided, with at least one magnetically-inert transducer being mounted upon this panel. At least one hollow channel extends into the panel from an edge thereof, while a hole is positioned within the panel to communicate at one end with the channel and to open at an opposite end adjacent the transducer.

Abstract: A contractible mine stopping adapted to be installed to extend as a vertical wall from the floor to the roof of a passageway in a mine, comprising a series of rows of substantially solid substantially non-compressible blocks of substantially fire-resistant material stacked one on top of another, and at least one row of contractible substantially fire-resistant block-like members adapted to contract without loss of structural integrity when the wall is subjected to a compressive load, as during a convergence of the floor and roof on the passageway. Each block-like member is preferably a hollow metal member which, when subjected to a compressive load, is adapted to contract heightwise of the member a distance corresponding to at least a major portion of the height of the member without loss of structural integrity of the member.

Abstract: A dental implant system employing a root member which is fixed to the jaw bone. A post is also employed having a first portion fixed to the root and a second portion which extends outwardly from the alveolus of the jaw bone. A head is connected to the post second portion and is angularly disposed in relation to the post. The head is also movable relative to the post to provide various angular orientations for a crown which is fixed to the head.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical composition comprises magnesium oxide, hydroxide or a non-toxic salt of magnesium in a slow-release carrier; this material may be combined with or co-prescribed with a diuretic or cardiac glycoside or adrenergic receptor blocking agent or a calcium antagonist for the treatment of hypertension or angina pectoris.

Abstract: A catheter inserter has an inserter housing with a flat base and a cannula housing disposed within the inserter housing with a cannula extending generally parallel to the inserter housing longitudinal axis. Stop means are disposed at each end of the inserter housing. locking means on the cannula housing selectively engage the stop means to lock the cannula housing in a first disposition in which the cannula extends outwardly from the inserter housing and in a second disposition in which the cannula is retracted within said inserter housing. The cannula housing has a passage in fluid communication with the cannula which, together with means on the inserter housing and cannula housing, permit the external viewing of blood passing into the fluid passage from the cannula.

Abstract: A combination bib and toy with storage pocket which is comprised of any suitable material. The toy may comprise a doll in the form of a female or male human figure or it may take the form of an animal figure such as a dog. The combination with storage pocket has a holder hidden within the storage pocket for removably attaching an item, such as, a rattle or squeaky toy. The novel storage pocket is made of any suitable material and it is attached to the back portion of the bib body, thus giving the combination bib and toy more three dimensional appeal when the novel storage pocket is filled with children's items. Attached, by any means, to the hands of the combination bib and toy with storage pocket is an attaching means made of any suitable material, for removably attaching said hands to each other or for removably attaching any such holder means for holding a pacifier or small toy.

Abstract: An exercise suit which has a pair of stretchable pants (20) and a pull-over top (44) with a lower-body reinforcing segment (38) attached, in the middle only, to the pants and an upper-body reinforcing collar (54) attached, in the middle only, to the top. A leg band (58) encircles the legs (24), and side bands (58) are affixed to the reinforcing collar. The leg bands (42) grip the wearer's feet, creating a continuous loop from the waist to the feet. Hook-and-loop tapes (40) allow the reinforcing segment (38) to be adjusted in tension around the wearer's waist and similarly adjustable knee pads (32) cover the knees in the pants legs (24). The resilience of the suit and the looped bands create a resistance to movement which provides exercise to the wearer's muscles during physical activity.
