20090220914	DENTAL IMPLANT AND A METHOD OF IMPLANTATION THEREOF - A dental implant is presented comprising a sharp threaded shaft operative as an active guiding engagement portion and having a sharp tip portion at its distal end. The sharp tip portion operates as an engaging member to cut through the bone and to define a path to the implant, and the sharp threads facilitate the non-surgical insertion.	09-03-2009

20090313718	POLYNUCLEOTIDES ENCODING CARYOPHYLLENE SYNTHASE AND USES THEREOF - Described are polynucleotides encoding a caryophyllene synthase. Also described are recombinant nucleic acid molecules and vectors comprising said polynucleotide as well as host cells genetically engineered with said polynucleotides. Further described are caryophyllene synthase polypeptides encoded by said polynucleotide as well as binding molecules specifically recognizing said polypeptide. Additionally, described are transgenic plant cells, plant tissues and plants genetically engineered with the caryophyllene synthase-encoding polynucleotide, corresponding methods for the production of said transgenic plant cells, plant tissues and plants and corresponding uses and methods using said polynucleotide for establishing or enhancing resistance against a herbivores, preferably a root-damaging insects in plants, particularly resistance against the corn rootworm in maize plants. In addition, described are regulatory sequences derived from the caryophyllene synthase-encoding gene described herein and corresponding compounds, methods and uses relating to applications of said regulatory sequence. Moreover, described is a method for breeding a plant having a resistance against a herbivores, preferably a root-damaging insect comprising a selection step for progenitor lines and/or offspring that express said caryophyllene synthase polypeptide.	12-17-2009

20110100515	ALUMINIUM BASED CASTING ALLOY - An aluminium based alloy has a weight percentage composition of from 5 to 15% silicon, 0 to 0.25% magnesium, 0 to 0.25% titanium, 0.2 to 0.65% manganese, 0.1 to 0.6% iron, 1 to 4% copper, 0 to 3% zinc, less than 0.01% in total of silicon modifiers (with less than 0.007% strontium), less than 0.05% tin, less than 0.2% in total of other transition or rare earth metals (with less than 0.05% chromium), less than 0.5% in total other elements, and a balance of aluminium. The limits for iron and manganese are constrained such that the amount of iron present in the alloy is 0.4 to 1.6 times the manganese content and the alloy has a sludge factor (SF), calculated as SF=(1×wt % Fe)+(2×wt % Mn), of from 0.8 to 1.6. A casting made from the alloy has enhanced fracture resistance relative to casting of the same product made of a conventional HPDC alloy when compared in the as cast or same heat treated state.	05-05-2011
