Abstract:
The subject invention pertains to B.t. toxins active against pests. More specifically, the subject invention pertains to truncated Cry6A toxins. These activated toxins are particularly effective for controlling coleopteran pests such as the corn rootworm and the alfalfa weevil.
Abstract:
Disclosed are compositions and processes for controlling lepidopteran pests. These compositions comprise synergistic combinations of a CryIF chimeric and CryIA(c) chimeric Bacillus thuringiensis .delta.-endotoxin. These compositions have been found to exhibit excellent activity against lepidopteran pests.
Abstract:
This invention concerns novel gene probes which can be used to identify DNA from Bacillus thuringiensis microbes which encode protein endotoxins. The invention probes greatly facilitate the search for useful microbes hosting genes which encode toxins.
Abstract:
An article having an array of varistors, including (a) a varistor body made of varistor material and having two major opposing faces, one of the opposing faces having an array of indentations thereon; (b) conductor material on the opposing face having the indentations, the conductor material filling the indentations and forming multiple leads for connection to electrical circuitry; and (c) conductor material on the other opposing face, forming multiple leads for connection to electrical circuitry.
Abstract:
A horse saddle with a frame and a body. The frame may be a metal bar and the body may be rotationally molded, over molded or utilize other manufacturing techniques to at least partially enclose the frame in the body, and the exposed portions of the frame functioning as D-rings for rigging loads to the saddle. The saddle functions both for riding, packing or both riding and packing. The saddle may include a metal of a first material and a body of a second material. The body may be mostly hollow and be lightweight with improved comfort resulting from depressions in the saddle seat.

Abstract:
Novel phosphorescent trigonal copper carbene complexes are provided. The complex comprise a carbene ligand coordinated to a three coordinate copper atom. The complex may be used in organic light emitting devices. In particular, the complexes may be especially useful in OLEDs used for lighting applications.
Abstract:
A collapsible portable structure which may provide a play environment for children has side walling defining an upright corner region with a free side edge and a canopy which straddles the corner region. The canopy may provide a roof-like cover or at least a partial enclosure. The side walling is formed by at least one continuous loop of a flexible coilable rod supporting a flexible fabric panel. Thus there may be one curved or angular panel, or two adjoining panels or panel sections. The canopy is of flexile fabric and is attached to the fabric of the side walling at a location spaced inwardly from the free edge of the side walling. The canopy is supported separately from the side walling panels by at least one separate pole. A ground sheet may optionally be provided extending across the corner region between the lower edges of the side walling.
Abstract:
One method for transferring funds includes receiving at a web server computer a request to transfer funds from a sender to a receiver. The request includes information identifying the sender and a payment vehicle for providing funds to transfer. The payment vehicle is validated and a transaction identifier is generated or assigned. The transaction identifier may be transmitted from the web server computer to the sender. When ready to receive the funds, the transaction identifier is entered into an ATM. If the transaction identifier is validated, the funds are dispensed from the ATM.
