Abstract:
The invention provides seed and plants of the pea line designated 08520702. The invention thus relates to the plants, seeds and tissue cultures of pea line 08520702, and to methods for producing a pea plant produced by crossing a plant of pea line 08520702 with itself or with another pea plant, such as a plant of another line. The invention further relates to seeds and plants produced by such crossing. The invention further relates to parts of a plant of pea line 08520702, including the seed, pod, and gametes of such plants.

Abstract:
A cutting device in accordance with the present invention is deal for use in cutting pizza and other “flat-bread” like cuisine. For example, in accordance with various embodiments, a cutting device is provided which exhibits improved functionality and ease of use through the use of handle which directs the cutting force from a user in the most efficient manner to carryout the task of cutting, for example, pizza. Moreover, the handle may provide improved protection of the user from accidental injury during use as well as be suitably configured to retract in a manner which facilitates removal of the cutting blade.
Abstract:
A particle vibration damper includes a container which locates a plurality of steel particles. A copper winding is provided around the container to induce a magnetic field therein to increase the inter-particle pressure. By adjusting the voltage across the winding the amplitude of peak damping ability can be varied to match the vibration amplitude being damped.
Abstract:
A system, method and apparatus are described for improving critical dimension uniformity in baked substrates. The system, method and apparatus provide for varying the distance between a substrate to be baked and the surface of a hot plate such that an approximately uniform temperature is obtained in the substrate during baking. In one embodiment, the substrate is positioned on a hot plate having a recess generally centered on its top side. The differences in distance between the edges of the substrates contacting the hot plate and the distance between the center region of the substrate and the bottom of the recess enable a generally uniform temperature to be obtained in the substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a Pisum sativum variety that contains a recessive gene called the bsg gene and produces peas that exhibit an elevated level of sucrose and a decreased level of alcohol insoluble solids when compared to peas produced from a Pisum sativum variety that does not contain the bsg gene within its genome.
Abstract:
An inflatable restraint system for an automotive vehicle has an inflatable restraint packaged within a module housing in an uninflated state and is operatively connected to an inflator for receiving inflator gas therefrom for movement to an inflated position within the vehicle. The inflatable restraint has a gas reactant substance on an interior surface which is reactive with the inflator gas to prolong inflation of the inflatable restraint in the inflated position at a predetermined pressure.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a test system useful in carrying out diagnostic assays. One component of the test system is an unblocked solid phase test carrier with a three dimensional configuration, impregnated with a first binding partner for analyte of interest. The second component of a binding agent containing a second binding partner coupled to an immediately visually determinable label, and a blocking agent. Rapid and accurate assays may be carried out by using the described system.
