Title: A bird repellent
Inventor: MATTHEWS LINDSAY ROSS
IPC: A01M29/12
Filed: 2003-06-20
Abstract: A bird repellent composition containing a combination of anthraquinone and a visual cue; or anthraquinone and d-pulegone; or anthraquinone, a visual cue and d-pulegone is disclosed. The combinations have been found to produce a synergistic and unexpected effect of increased repellence to birds. One application is the area of pest control baits where the repellent composition is applied to the surface of the bait. Bird is less likely to be harmed by the toxins contained within the bait because they are repelled from the bait. A  second application is for horticulture use, whereby the repellent composition is applied to the plant, fruit or ground around an orchard or vineyard thus repelling birds.

Abstract: A method of determining whether to allow a new trade of a contract in a system which determines the value of margin amounts (210) supporting trading and evaluates the total value at risk in a portfolio of traded contracts. The system compares (250) the value at risk in the portfolio to the value of margin amounts to calculate the excess available margin. After calculating the allowable notional trade volume, allowable notional trade quantity and the risk per unit of commodity for a new trade it determines whether the new trade has a value at risk which exceeds the excess available margin (270). It then approves or rejects the trade based upon a determination of whether the value at risk of the new trade exceeds the excess available margin. It also includes a second chance mechanism for rejected trades if the effect of the trade would be to increase the excess available margin of the portfolio (310).
