Granted: 2011-02-22
Abstract: Compounds, compositions, and methods for controlling an arthropod pest population that employ an eremophilane sesquiterpene parent structure are presented. The compounds have minimal adverse or toxic effects on humans, non-human animals, and the natural environment. The compounds may be isolated from natural sources, semi-synthesized from naturally occurring compounds, or completely synthesized. The compounds may be applied directly to a pest, or the locus of a pest, and function as topical or ingestible toxins.  Eremophilane sesquiterpenes 13-hydroxy-valencene, valencene-11,12-epoxide, valencene-13-aldehyde, and nootkatone-1,10-11,12-diepoxide are exemplary compounds.
Patent CA-2433219-C (CA)
Inventor: MERREN THOMAS OLIVER
IPC: H01J49/30
Filed: 1999-04-19
Granted: 2007-07-17
Abstract: The invention comprises a mass spectrometer 1 and a method of mass spectrometry that is especially useful for the measurement of the isotopic composition of hydrogen in the presence of a helium carrier gas. Interference to the accurate measurement of the small HD+ peak at mass-to-charge ratio 3 by the much larger He+ peak at mass-to- charge ratio 4 is reduced by provision of an energy filter 35 in the ion detector assembly used to collect HD+ ions. This prevents ions of He+ which have lost energy through scattering, etc giving rise to a signal from HD+ detector and distorting the deuterium hydrogen isotopic ratio measurement. Such a mass spectrometer 1 is typically used in conjunction with a continuous flow inlet system 4 based on an elemental analyzer that converts hydrogen present in a sample to gaseous hydrogen in a flow of helium carrier gas. Another embodiment of the invention provides a similar mass spectrometer useful for carbon or oxygen isotopic determinations in carbon dioxide gas.

Title: Moulded body for improving cultivating conditions of plants
Inventor: BAUMANN GERHARD
IPC: A01G27/04
Filed: 2001-12-03
Granted: 2010-02-16
Abstract: A moulded body (1) for improving the cultivating conditions of plants that is suitable for being disposed in a planting container (3), inter alia, comprises a tapering projection (15), more particularly in the shape of a cone or of an upwardly open truncated cone. It is disposed such that the projection extends into the plant substrate (60) contained in the planting container (3), more particularly from the bottom or from the surface thereof. The projection (15) comprises means (apertures (35; 54), highly porous material) for providing an exchange of substances, more particularly an exchange of water and/or air, between the interior and the area surrounding the projection. A controlled supply of air, water, nutrients and additives to the interior of the plant substrate and particularly to the root ball (61) is thereby possible. The moulded body for insertion from below comprises a depression provided opposite the projection and serving as a water reservoir that is separated from the plant substrate. The moulded body (46) for insertion from above is water-permeable in the upper portion (55), i.e. at the foot of the projection, and essentially water-impermeable near the apex of the projection, a transport of liquid from the lower portion (53) to the upper portion (55) preferably being effected by capillary forces.

Abstract: Seat belts of a transport system are provided with anti-submarindng seat-belt assemblies. A lap-belt portion of each assembly, restraining the lower part of the body of a belted passenger, is subdivided into two anti-submarining belt portions, which properly restrain the thighs when plug-in connecting at least one anti-submarining latch-plate to one of the anti-submarining buckle assemblies, all of which, equipped with energy absorbers, are arranged in a seat cushion. As a result, the energy-absorbing, anti-submarining seat-belt assembly substantially lowers great belt force in an accident, reduces the elongation of the seat belt and prevents submarining. A separately operated release button, when depressed, frees the passenger from the anti-submarining protection. Ease of use is ensured by one-click operation of a master release-button, which, when depressed, releases all latch-plates. Detachable anti-submarining latch plates, when not in use, are stored in a storage box. When needed they are attached to the lap-belt portion.
