Title: Combined fungicidal and insecticidal composition comprising disodium octaborate, ethylene glycol, solvent and contact active insecticide/insect growth regulator
Inventor: DUNN MICHAEL JOHN
IPC: A01N59/14
Filed: 2002-12-14
Abstract: Compositions with combined fungicidal and insecticidal activity, comprising disodium octaborate (a fungicide), ethylene glycol, a contact insecticide or contact active insect growth regulator, and a solvent for the contact insecticide or contact active insect growth regulator which is miscible with ethylene glycol, have shown good combined fungicidal and insecticidal properties. When used on wet timber, these compositions have shown good penetrating properties into the body of the timber. The solvent used for the contact insecticide and/or contact active insect growth regulator is preferably selected from <SL> <LI>(a) ethanolamines (mono-, di-, and tri-); <LI>(b) non-ionic surfactants, for example alcohol alkanoates, e.g. alcohol ethoxylates, alcohol phenyl alkanoates, e.g. alcohol phenyl ethoxylates, and polyalkylene oxides, e.g. propylene oxide block copolymers, particularly preferred being iso-nonyl phenyl ethoxylate; and <LI>(c) cationic surfactants, for example benzalkonium chlorides. </SL> The solvent solubilises the contact insecticide and/or contact active insect growth regulator in the presence of disodium octaborate and ethylene glycol. The contact insecticide may be an insecticidal pyrethroid selected from permethrin, cypermethrin, cyfluthrin or deltamethrin. The contact active insect growth regulator may be flufenoxuron.

Title: Determining a frequency in a wireless communication device
Inventor: CASEY FRANCIS M
IPC: G01S1/00
Filed: 2003-03-31
Abstract: The method comprises the steps of providing a known frequency source 317, receiving a signal from an unknown frequency source 319, and calculating (506) an estimate of the frequency of the signal from the unknown frequency source based upon the frequency of the known frequency source. This may be used to establish a communication link based upon the frequency of the signal from the unknown frequency source. The method may be used in a GPS receiver to provide a reference frequency without an accurate oscillator or pre-programming the receiver with known reference frequencies of, for example, associated devices e.g. watches, radios, mobile phones, PDAs or CD players. The method involves establishing a known time period by counting 316 the reference pulses, at the same time as counting the unknown frequency pulses in a second counter 318 which is stopped at the end of the known time period. Processor 310 calculates the unknown frequency from the count 318 and the time period.

Title: A method of controlling an engine
Inventor: SURNILLA GOPICHANDRA
IPC: F02D41/14
Filed: 2003-06-02
Abstract: A method for controlling an engine having first and second groups of combustion chambers (cylinders). Wherein in one mode the first group of chambers induct air and injection fuel and air only to the second group. The injected fuel is adjusted based on a desired speed and a determined speed. The a/f ratio may be leaner than stoichometric. Injection of fuel may occur when a manifold pressure drops below a predetermined value, or a brake booster pressure is above a predetermined value. A second mode of operation injects fuel and air into both cylinder groups. In said second mode the a/f ratio may be 18:1. Said desired speed may be an engine idle speed or a vehicle speed. Said determined speed may be measured from a crank shaft speed sensor and an estimated engine speed based on a sensor coupled to the engine. The fuel may be directly injected into the chamber or injected into an inlet port.

Title: All-terrain skateboard
Inventor: FRENCH GEORGE
IPC: A63C17/00
Filed: 2003-09-15
Abstract: An all-terrain board (10) has a platform (12) which is supported on two wheel axles (24,26) connected to the platform by pairs (34,36) of flexible links. The links in each pair may be spaced on either side of a longitudinal axis (18) of the platform.
