"The resonant frequencies of the magnet power supply are investigated. It is found that there are eleven resonant modes in addition to the desired mode of operation with six additional resonant frequencies. From measurements of the choke model, it appears that the frequencies of some of the spurious modes may lie in the same range as the desired mode of operation."

Annual report providing tabular statistical information about license safety responsibility (S-R) suspensions of drivers in Texas for failure to file or show proof of financial responsibility resulting from convictions and accidents, broken down by county and by locations of out-of-state accidents. It also includes very basic overview information about filing proof of financial responsibility.

Monthly magazine issued by the Texas Farm Bureau for farmers and ranchers discussing current news and issues in agriculture.

One of the major, as well as first, decisions which must be taken on a large chamber is to decide on the direction of the magnetic field, i.e., vertical or horizontal. Either alternative has advantages and disadvantages ad it is the intention of this note to discuss these features.

The vacuum system for the bubble chamber must evacuate rapidly a volume of approximately 500 cubic feet and eliminate the outgassing of a surface area of approximately 50,000 square inches. The backstreaming of oil from the diffusion pump must be kept to an absolute minimum to prevent oil films forming on the window. The vacuum system must also provide the protection against liquid nitrogen and hydrogen/leaks to prevent pressure buildup.

Mammalian bone marrow contains a considerable number of small lymphoid cells (small lymphocytes and small lymphocyte-like cells). The total number of these cells (50,000 to 500,000 per mm3) depends on species, age and other factors. The origin, function and fate of these cells remain obscure in many respects. In particular, it has not been shown beyond doubt, if and to what extent small lymphoid cells enter the bone marrow via the blood stream or if their origin is in part or entirely within the bone marrow. In addition it has not been clearly shown whether or not these cells may function as multipotential hemopoietic stem cells. Results obtained from experiments with irradiated parabiotic animals and animals given regional fractioned doses of X-irradiation, and transplantation of leukocytes from peripheral blood into lethally irradiated recipients afford indirect evidence that peripheral blood of mice and rats may contain stem cells capable of DNA synthesis and division.

The blue-green algae, classed as primitive monerans, represent the lowest level of organization known to possess a higher plant type of photosynthesis. The role in photosynthesis of the phycocyanin in these organisms is particularly interesting from the point of view of ultrastructural biochemistry. It has been shown repeatedly that despite the primacy normally assigned to chlorophyll, the light absorbed by phycocyanin is used more efficiently for photosynthesis (equated with photosynthetic oxygen evolution). This property is all the more intriguing since Hill activity is very labile in these organisms; the loss being correlated with the release of phycocyanin. Then too, it has been observed that fluorescence at about 685 mμ, attributed to chlorophyll, is proportionately greater for wavelengths absorbed by phycocyanin. French and Young attributed the differential to inactive absorption by carotenoids in the "Soret" region of chlorophyll, but Duysens concluded that the magnitude of the difference observed by him was too great to be explained by screening. Duysens proposed the existence of two pools of chlorophyll of about equal size; one containing fluorescent, photosynthetically active chlorophyll in proximity to phycocyanin, the other nonfluorescent, photosynthetically inactive and remote from phycocyanin.

Speed limits of decimal counting schemes based on binary-to-decimal conversion are considered. A simple "1-2-4-8" decimal logic is described, which is inherently as fast as the basic bistable. A decade for counting in 100-200 Mc/sec range, based on this logic and the tunnel diode-transistor bistable, is presented.

During an experiment involving alpha phase annealing (at 610 to 655 deg C for 5 and 10 min) of beta-quenched uranium, it was determined that the relatively coarse, irregular shaped grains (0.08 to 0.150 mm in diameter) in the beta-quenched structure, were replaced by fine equiaxed grains (0.04 to 0.09 mm in diameter).

"Evacuated electrical oscillating cavities frequently are found to exhibit a strong loading due to electron (or iron) multiplications, the so-called multipactor effect. This effect tends to prevent the buildup of dee voltage in cyclotrons. In conventional cyclotrons driven from external oscillators having their own resonant tank circuits the difficulties are usually slight, but in cyclotrons using a simple dee system as the tank circuit difficulties are encountered in getting the oscillator to break into full oscillation."

Memorandum providing updates to rulebook related to public utilities with revised pages containing amendments and instructions for inserting the new pages into existing books.

.Technical report describing the transference experiments. The carrying of zirconium and columbium by ferric hydroxide has a very marked dependence on pH. In the experiments it was noticed that the concentration of Zr activity in various solutions changed with time This indicated that the Zr was being adsorbed on the glass. The carrier free trace is adsorbed on glass. This effect must be considered in experiments with Zr tracer in glass apparatus.

Patent for clothes hanger that is made of a singular piece of wire. The hanger also features the capability to hold an entire three piece suit: coat, vest, and trousers.

Patent for a hand cotton picking apparatus that can be conveniently carried by a farm hand for more efficiency.

Patent for a riding cultivator that keeps the shovel gangs positioned "parallel with the line of the draft, or with the longitudinal axis of the machine" (lines 19-21), by shifting them in the direction that the driver guides the wheels. The cultivator also provides a means to keep the depth of cultivation as uniform as possible when working on uneven ground or in different kinds of soil.

This patent addresses resilient tire fillers, presenting a novel approach by providing a filler for tire casings in segmented sections. Each section incorporates sealed, airtight cavities designed as radially arranged columns, ensuring the tire retains the full benefits of pneumatic resistance and resiliency.

Patent for an improved turntable "designed to be attached to and carried beneath a motor car" (lines 12-13) that would allow the car (train car) to be elevated or lowered onto railroad tracks. The device includes a base, pedestals, and a rotatable base.

Patent for drill bit, adapted for use in boring (or drilling) of oil wells with bit shank and enlarged head of angularly mounted rotary cutters (for outward cutting of well walls).

Patent for "improvements in mechanical starters for internal combustion engines" (lines 10-11). It is designed for the use in automobiles, trucks, and similar vehicles.

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.
