Title: Frequency selective transient voltage protector
Inventor: KNIGGE VINCENT L
IPC: H04M3/18
Filed: 2002-12-12
Granted: 2005-07-28
Abstract: A frequency selective transient voltage protector (FSTVP) circuit that may be used in connection with a communication line over which POTS and DSL service may be simultaneously provided. The FSTVP circuit attenuates high frequency transient voltages that exceed a predetermined voltage level, while permitting low frequency, generally high voltage signals (e.g., ring signals) and high frequency, low voltage signals (e.g., DSL signals) to pass with little or no attenuation. The FSTVP circuit comprises a frequency selective network (that comprises a frequency discriminator and a voltage discriminator) connected to an overvoltage protection device that shunts any high frequency transient voltages thus protecting devices connected downstream along the communications line from damage. The frequency selective network is tuned to gate the overvoltage protection device when the frequency and voltage of a signal present on the communication line exceed predetermined values.

Granted: 2012-10-11
Abstract: Pesticide strips used to control parasitic mites in honeybees. The pesticide strips are designed to have a lifetime or period of existence, after which the strip no longer exists in its original form. The strip breaks down, such as by disintegration, dissolving, decomposition, being eaten or carrier away, or otherwise degrading over time, so that at the end of the recommended lifetime, the strip is no longer in its original form. In most embodiments, at least 50 % of the strip is no longer present, and in other embodiments at least 75 % of the strip is no longer present. Preferably, at the end of the recommended lifetime, the strip no longer exists, at least the body of the strip that included the active ingredient. With this design, the strip does not provide extended low-dose pesticide that can be detrimental in treating the mites.
