The present invention relates to isolated DNA sequences from halophytes encoding proteins for improving tolerance to environmental stresses in plants. The invention also relates to vectors comprising the polynucleotides, and transformed host cells, and plants with improved environmental stress tolerance.

A laser positioner is located at a survey base point for projecting a geodetic design pattern depicting design working points onto a working face remote from the base point by use of a laser pattern projector, upon surveying an object route by use of a laser surveying unit. In tunneling operations for example, the design pattern is formed on the working face, so that boring of the holes for charging explosives in the working face can be performed without paint-marking on the working face.

A line thermal printer is assembled in a pair of side frames opposed to each other a given distance according to a given width size of a printing medium. A guide frame is sandwiched between the pair of side frames for guiding the printing medium. A platen roller unit is disposed detachably between the pair of side frames and is pivotably supported relative to the pair of side frames. A thermal head unit is detachably engaged relative to the pair of side frames in opposed relation to the platen roller unit. A head cover plate is disposed between the pair of side frames to cover the thermal head unit and is placeable in either of an open position and a closed position relative to the pair of side frames. A drive unit is detachably mounted on an outer face of one of the side frames for driving the platen roller.

In laser surveying system has a laser measuring unit which is operable independently of a laser projector, a laser spot pattern is first determined by using the laser measuring unit and projected onto the working face of an object structure by driving the laser projector. While marking the working face with the laser spot pattern formed by the laser projector to execute the desired construction work, the laser measuring unit is turned toward a different measuring object so as to independently make other measurements. Thus, point marking and measurement on different objects can be rationally effected at one time.

A tunnel driving method using a drill carriage provided with plural number of drill booms having drifters. According to a preferred embodiment, while the drill carriage is placed before a bench, the charging cages are moved to mark blasting holes and rock bolt holes for an upper portion. While the drill carriages are moved backward with a predetermined length, the charging cages are moved to insert the rock bolts for the upper portion. Simultaneously, the charging cages are operated in a lower portion to bore blasting holes for the lower portion. Then, the charging cages are operated to charge the blasting holes for the upper portion and the lower portion with dynamite for blasting so that the facing is broken and a new facing is formed. Subsequently, after first and second operation of concrete shooting, the above continuous operation is performed repeatedly.

A swing type power unit for a two-wheeled motor vehicle including a four-cycle engine. The engine has an output shaft disposed in a transmission case adjacent to its front end. The case has its rear end portion provided with a rear wheel drive shaft, and has a wet type multi-stage power transmission mechanism disposed between the output shaft of the engine and the rear wheel drive shaft. The transmission case has front end pivotally secured to a vehicle body, and has the rear end to the body through a shock absorber. Oil lubrication for the engine and the power transmission mechanism is performed by oil accumulated in and at a bottom of said transmission case.
