Provided is a method whereby walnut can be simply, rapidly and accurately separated and distinguished from pecan nut. The method involves a PCR method for specifically detecting nuts of the family Juglandaceae and identifying the matK sequence of pecan nut to thereby discriminate walnut and pecan nut from each other optionally using restriction enzymes.

Method of separating and distinguishing walnut from pecan nut

The first primer of the invention is a primer which, when used in PCR under appropriate conditions, serves to detectably amplify 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs of bacteria of theandgenera, but when used in PCR under the same conditions, does not serve to detectably amplify either chloroplast 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs or mitochondrial 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs. The second primer of the invention is a primer which, when used in PCR under appropriate conditions, serves to detectably amplify 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs ofandbut when used in PCR under the same conditions, does not serve to detectably amplify either chloroplast 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs or mitochondrial 16S rRNA-encoding DNAs.

Constant-speed running apparatus with fault monitoring for automobile

The present invention relates to an apparatus for running a car at constant speed, the apparatus controlling the car to run at a desired speed, wherein by a control circuit (21), both a car-speed deviation and an acceleration are taken as variables, and a pulse-width of pulse signals having a predetermined period is computed from a function for defining pulse-width, and the above-mentioned pulse is given to an actuator (12) for adjusting opening of a throttle valve (13), thereby quickening to settle down to a set car-speed, to enable to stably run at constant speed. Moreover, resetting device (9), (220), second constant-speed-running canceling device (11), (219) which cancel a state of constant-speed-running only by operation of a canceling switch (8), (28), and checking device (10) for checking memory data are provided, thereby improving safety and reliability of control.
