The invention also provides methods of emanating vapour active pyrethroids and the use of packaging means according to the invention for retaining and emanating vapour active pyrethroids.

Abstract: Locations of IC tags affixed to items are automatically recognized without requiring interrogators or antennas are allocated at respective inventory locations. To attain this object, interrogator 1 firstly transmits a unique ID readout command specifying read range, and corresponding IC tags 2a, 2b, 2c sequentially reply their unique IDs (Xa), (Xb), (Xc) respectively. At the same time, interrogator 1 transmits a probe signal send out command specifying ID, and corresponding IC tags 2a, 2b, 2c sequentially send out probe signals respectively. IC tag 2 that detects a probe signal with reception strength more than a predetermined level stores in its memory IDs (Xa), (Xb), (Xc) that interrogator 1 specified as adjacent ID. Then, interrogator 1 transmits an adjacent ID readout command specifying ID, and corresponding IC tags 2a, 2b, 2c sequentially reply adjacent IDs (Xb), (Xa.Xc), (Xb) stored in their memory respectively.

Abstract: A dynamic sealing arrangement for preventing leakage of a fluid along a shaft includes multiple seals and pressurized barrier sealant is presented. According to one aspect, at least three seals are arranged along the shaft with pressurized barrier sealant between the first and second seals and a collection area is provided between the second and third seals to collect any leakage that might occur. Collected leakage, if any, is ported to an output port. According to another aspect, a unitary seal block member is provided that supports the dynamic sealing arrangement for the shaft and defines a piston chamber and a drilled passageway connecting the piston chamber and barrier sealant pressurization chamber between two seals. A substantial amount of plumbing is self contained in a single body minimizing the need for additional components or complexity.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel process which comprises feeding a mixture formed from diphenylethane and bromine to a stirrable reaction mass comprised of bromine and a bromination catalyst to yield a decabromodiphenylethane wet cake which can be most economically treated to provide a high quality decabromodiphenylethane product.

Abstract: An electro hydraulic actuator with built-in fail safes is provided. Multiple accumulators are integrated into the actuator to improve reliability and redundancy. One or more accumulators can fail and the remaining accumulators provide sufficient energy to move the actuator to its fail-safe condition.

Abstract: A DC electrical power generation system for aircraft having primary and emergency generation systems is disclosed. The system includes a transmission driven power generator, a dedicated generator control unit and a distribution network for providing sufficient capacity to all electrical loads on the aircraft. The emergency power system includes at least one engine driven starter generators, with an associated controller unit and associated distribution network for providing sufficient backup capacity to electrical loads assigned thereto.

Abstract: A radially loading ignition system for a muzzle loading weapon generally comprises a body having threads on its outer surface and a well sunk into one end for loosely holding a shotgun shell primer; a first opening through the side of the well for passing the primer into the well radially; and a rotatable cover enclosing the well and having a second opening which is aligned with the first opening for loading the primer and which is rotated out of alignment with the first opening for closing the ignition system. The ignition system is suitable for use in muzzle loading weapons using either an in-line firing system or a conventional swing hammer. A spare primer holder is also disclosed which comprises a semi-circular ring of elastomeric material adapted to snap onto a rifle scope or barrel and having a series of holes for frictionally receiving spare primers.

Abstract: An improved ignition means for a muzzle loading weapon which is adapted to fire a projectile, and comprises a barrel, an ignition means adapted to receive a primer charge comprising a cylindrical casing having an explosive charge within, and an annular flange at one end which extends outwardly radially from the casing, and a hammer adapted to ignite the primer charge. The improved ignition means comprises a primer receiver having a well with a distal portion and a proximal portion. The distal portion communicates with a powder charge receiving portion of the barrel, and the proximal portion has an open end. The proximal portion of the well has a first diameter, and the distal portion of the well has a smaller second diameter.

Abstract: A tool for locating a predetermined number of turbine blades in relative operative position with each other includes a base with a space and walls with a space between them. Blades are located sequentially and adjacently. An arc of curvature is representative of the arc of curvature for a rotor for accommodating the blades ordinarily. When the blades are located, the curvature of the top conforms with the curvature of the rotor. The blades can then be adjusted and aligned such that when located in the rotor they will be accurately positioned. With a serrated root, the root is located near the plate and held with steeple screws. With a forked root, there is a post between the fork. A finger root is secured between sidewalls.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a quiver and arrows comprises a holder (100) which includes a primary block (101) and an add-on block (103). The primary block (101) has means (102) for mounting the block to a support surface, a first means (12a") for presenting an arrow, and means (104) for attaching a quiver to the holder. The mounting means (102) comprises a threaded screw (106) movably mounted to the primary block (101) for movement between a first position where a substantial portion of the screw is retracted within the block and a second position where a substantial portion of the screw extends from the block. The quiver-attachment means (104) comprises two tongues (136) movably mounted to the block for clamping a conventional quiver to the block. The first arrow-presenting means (12a") comprises a channel (112a) and a foam pad (110a) which define a slot (13a") adapted to receive and frictionally retain an arrow.

Abstract: A tool for locating a predetermined number of turbine blades in relative operative position with each other includes a base with a space and sidewalls with a space between them. Blades are located sequentially and adjacently between the sidewalls so that the blades are accurately and snugly located between the sidewalls. The top of the sidewalls has an arc of curvature representative of the arc of curvature for a rotor for accommodating the blades ordinarily. When the blades are located in the space, the curvature of the top of the sidewalls conforms with the curvature of the rotor. The blades can then be adjusted and aligned such that when located in the rotor they will be accurately positioned.
