Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) which is distinctly characterized by extremely rapid growth rate, very strong central stem tendency, and excellent straightness, thereby producing excellent timber qualities. This new variety of black walnut tree (Juglans nigra L.) was discovered by the applicant near West Lafayette, Ind. in a black walnut planting of seedling progeny from a previously selected tree for outstanding timber producing potential. This selection has been designated as BW408, a seedling progeny of patented Fayette-1 (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,964) in records maintained by the applicant on the performance of the selection and grafts made from the selection and will be known henceforth as ‘Beineke 2.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Anthurium andreanum plant named ‘Anthbneq’, as described and illustrated, and particular characterized by the combined features of compact growth and early and rich flowering; mini-type pot plant with large flowers, maximum growth to approximately 40 cm; long and erect peduncle; flowers held just above the foliage; full plant habit due to rich shoot formation and compactness of the plant; dark green leaves, durable and very glossy, with light green primary veins; red and durable flowers, slowly turning brownish-red with age; large amount of flowers in relation to the amount of leaves resulting in good leaf to flower ratio size.
Abstract: A new garden rose plant of the floribunda class which has abundant red flowers and attractive foliage. This new and distinct variety has shown to be uniform and stable in the resulting generations from asexual propagation.
Abstract: A new variety of Chrysanthemum plant named ‘Swing Time Mandarin’, having amber golden single flowers with spoon tips. The new variety has a medium vigor, free branching habit and good foliage presentation.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree (Prunus persica var. nucipersica). The following features of the tree and its fruit are characterized with the tree budded on ‘Nemagaurd’ Rootstock (non-patented), grown on Handford sandy loam soil with Storie Index rating 95, in USDA Hardiness Zone 9, near Modesto, Calif., with standard commercial fruit growing practices, such as pruning, thinning, spraying, irrigation and fertilization. Its novelty consists of the following combination of desirable features:
1. Regular and heavy production of fruit.
2. Fruit with very good eating quality, mild, sweet, low-acid flavor.
3. Late fruit maturity with an attractive red skin color.
4. Fruit with good storage and shipping quality.
5. Vigorous and upright growth of tree.
6. Fruit holding firm on the tree 10 to 12 days after maturity, shipping ripe.

Abstract: A new cultivar of Euphorbia named ‘First Blush’ that is distinguished by a compact clumping habit, winter dormancy, showy variegated pale green foliage with rose colored tints, and yellow flowers in spring. In combination these traits set ‘First Blush’ apart from all other existing varieties of Euphorbia known to the inventor.
Abstract: A new cultivar of Gaillardia named ‘Summers Kiss’ that is distinguished by medium-green colored leaves, upright low-growing habit and large daisy-like flowers that are a melon color and that bloom in summer and fall. In combination these traits set ‘Summers Kiss’ apart from all other existing varieties of Gaillardia known to the inventor.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of peach tree, named ‘Weiser’, originated as a limb sport on a ‘Bellaire’ tree. It is a midseason variety maturing five days after Loring and seven to 10 days after ‘Bellaire’. The fruit has an attractive bright yellow-flesh, and is freestone, large sized, and flavorful. The surface of the fruit is uniformly attractive orange-red over a yellow background.
Abstract: Single horizontal wells drilled through heterogeneous reservoirs are capable of greater oil productivity than vertical wells, often with lower produced GOR and WOR. Multiple drainholes tied-in to a vertical cased well are even more beneficial. Completion of such drainholes in many sandy reservoirs must use cemented liners. Well configurations comprising multiple drainholes liners, each of them tied-in to a vertical casing by pressure-tight connections require novel technologies making use of some novel downhole equipment, tools and procedures for drilling, tie-in and completion of such wells. These may be for newly-drilled wells or may be obtained by re-entry into an existing vertical cased well. Specific equipment, including novel casing joints, whipstocks, intermediate liners and tubing completion assembly components applicable to new wells are described herein.
Abstract: An optical disk with sectional trapezoidal pits comprising a substrate having information recorded by a plurality of pit trains formed thereon at a specified track pitch, and a reflective layer formed on the substrate, wherein the information is reproduced by being irradiated with light beam via an objective lens, the track pitch is set within the range of (0.72 to 0.8) &agr;×&lgr;/NA/1.14 &mgr;m when a wavelength of the light beam is &mgr; nm and a numerical aperture of the objective lens is NA, each of the pits is a multiplication ratio used to secure allowable disk tilt angles in an upper width within the range of (0.3 to 0.50) &agr;×&lgr;/NA/1.14 &mgr;m, a bottom width within the range of (0.2 to 0.32) &agr;×&lgr;/NA/1.14 &mgr;m and a depth within the range of (1/4.2×&lgr;/n) to (1/5.2 &lgr;/n) (n: refractive index of said substrate and &lgr;: a wavelength) and obtained by 2.623×10−7×(d/&lgr;)2−1.706×10−4 (ds/&lgr;)+0.
Abstract: A laptop device includes a personal computer, a cellular transceiver, a speakerphone, and a hybrid communications control unit. The device has connectors for attaching a headset, cellular control unit, land telephone line, and additional speakers and microphones. The microprocessor-controlled hybrid communications control unit includes a modem, a data access arrangement, and a tone generator as well as digital, analog, and power switches. The hybrid communications control unit switches the communications components and provides, under program control, the proper protocols, level, and impedance matching to connect the modem, speakerphone, headset, speaker/microphone, or cellular control unit to the landline or to the cellular network via the transceiver. Matching and switching operations are automatic and transparent to the user. The unit can also connect two of the terminal devices or connect the cellular and landlines for call relaying. The device is capable of connecting plural calls at the same time.
Abstract: A protective garment, which is intended to be only worn by a wearer who is authorized to pass through a security perimeter, comprises a pocket, which defines a window, a flap, which is movable between a position wherein the flap covers the window and positions wherein the flap does not cover the window, and a card, which is disposed in the pocket. The card displays or records data, which are readable through the window by a human, by an electronic reader, or by both, and which are unique to the authorized wearer of the protective garment. The data may comprise symbolic data, such as bar code data, and may comprise a photograph of the authorized wearer of the protective garment. When the flap covers the window, the flap protects the data against becoming illegible because of foreign matter, such as soot, or because of surface abrasion.
