New insecticidal proteins, nucleotides, peptides, their expression in plants, methods of producing the peptides, new processes, production techniques, new peptides, new formulations, and new organisms, a process which increases the insecticidal peptide production yield from yeast expression systems. The present invention is also related and discloses selected endotoxins we call cysteine rich insecticidal peptides (CRIPS) which are peptides derived from(Bt) and their genes and endotoxins in combination with toxic peptides known as Inhibitor Cystine Knot (ICK) genes and peptides as well as with other types of insecticidal peptides such as trypsin modulating oostatic factor (TMOF) peptide sequences used in various formulations and combinations; of both genes and peptides, useful for the control of insects.

Insecticidal peptide production and combination of cysteine rich peptides

New insecticidal proteins, nucleotides, peptides, their expression in plants, methods of producing the peptides, new processes, production techniques, new peptides, new formulations, new organisms, and a process which increases the insecticidal peptide production yield from yeast expression systems. The present invention is also related to novel cell culture methods and conditions that can be used to express heterologous polypeptides, along with new transgenic yeast strains.

The present invention describes novel triazines, their related pyrimidines and their use in controlling insects. This invention also includes new synthetic procedures, intermediates for preparing the compounds, pesticide compositions containing the compounds, and methods of controlling insects using the compounds.

A seat belt restraint lock for children is disclosed, comprised of an improved female receptacle for a motor vehicle seat belt buckle. The female receptacle consists of a main body, of a generally rectangular, box configuration. A plate located on the top surface of the main body covers the traditional release button. The plate can only be opened by compressing two locking cylinders located on the lateral sides of the main body. The locking cylinders possess spring tension to ensure that a child cannot open the plate.

Apparatus for the restraint of cargo in carriers such as freight containers, highway trucks and trailers, railroad cars, ships, aircraft and space vehicles. The apparatus includes continuous rails which are fastened flush to the floor of the cargo carrier and to the structural supports of said floor. A continuous undercut groove in the rail serves to fasten, at any point, load restraint chocks which are braced directly against the cargo loads. The chocks are designed with eyes and other tie-down anchor means to which flexible straps about the cargo load are anchored. The chock may also be fabricated with an adjustable blocking member to fit against a lateral side of a cargo load so as to apply additional lateral bracing to the cargo load.
