Abstract: The invention relates to adjuvant compositions which contain a) one or more polyalkylene glycol sulfate salts or polyalkylene glycol sulfonate salts, b) water, and c) one or more electrolytes dissociated into ions. Said adjuvant compositions can be preferably used combined with pharmaceutical active ingredients, agrochemical active ingredients, biocides or repellents which have a high electrolyte content.

Abstract: An indicator module includes first electrodes disposed on a first support surface, each of the first electrodes having a flexible portion having a sloped section forming an oblique angle with the first support surface, a second electrodes disposed on a second support surface spaced apart from the first support surface along a longitudinal direction, a set of conductors elongated substantially in the longitudinal direction, each of the first electrodes being electrically connected to the a respective one of the second electrodes via a respective one of the conductors, and an indicator circuit, such as a set of LEDs, electrically connected to one or more of the conductors and adapted to generate a human perceptible signal when the indicator circuit receives electrical power from the one or more of the conductors.

Abstract: Use of N-substituted pyrrolidones to promote the penetration of agrochemical active agents. The use of one or more N-substituted pyrrolidones of the formula (I), wherein R signifies a linear or branched, saturated alkyl group with 3 to 6 carbon atoms, wherein in the alkyl group, hydrogen —H can be substituted by a methoxy group —OCH3, and wherein 1 to 6 hydrogens —H of the pyrrolidone ring can be substituted by methyl —CH3, to promote the penetration of agrochemical active agents in plants or in non-plant-based harmful organisms is described.

Abstract: An indicator module in one example has a mounting portion to removably attach the module to another module or base. The indicator module also has a first set of electrodes disposed to be in contact with respective electrodes in the attached module or base. The indicator module further includes an indicator circuit, and a switch module configurable to selectively connect the indicator circuit to one of the electrodes in the indicator module. The indicator module can further include a second set of electrodes connected respectively to the first set of electrodes by conductors. The two sets of electrodes are located at respective ends of the module attach to another module at each end. In visual indicator modules, the conductors can be disposed in a more interior region of the module as compared to the visual indicator elements such as LEDs, which can be distributed near the periphery of the module.

Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a cover assembly having a plurality of ribs integrally formed within an actuator body envelope to increase the resilience of the actuator body envelope against high-pressure water cleaning. In an illustrative example, the actuator body envelope defines an actuator body chamber while an actuator envelope integrally formed with the actuator body envelope defines an actuator chamber. The actuator chamber and the actuator body chamber may adapt to receive an actuator via an insertion aperture at a proximal end of the body envelope. In some implementations, the plurality of ribs may advantageously increase the service life of the cover assembly.
