Abstract: An intelligent fan system includes a microcontroller having memory and an interface which provides a connection to a host computer system. The host computer system dynamically provides a plurality of controlled instructions to the microcontroller which are stored in the memory of the microcontroller. The system also includes a temperature sensing device which is connected to the microcontroller. A fan responsive to the communication signal provided by the microcontroller adjusts the speed of the fan in accordance with the plurality of control instructions.

Abstract: Substituted 5'-nonanol/5'-nonene compounds which exhibit important antimicrobial and antifungal activity, compositions and methods of delivery against pathovars and pathogens, and methods of synthesis from commonly available reactants. The antimicrobial composition active ingredient is one or more substituted 1,2-alkylidenedioxybenzene compounds of the formula: ##STR1## where R.sub.3 is selected from 5'-nonanol and 5'-nonene, and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are selected from H and C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl, alkenyl and alkynyl groups. The preferred compounds are 5-(5'-hydroxy- 5'- nonanyl)-1,1-methylenedioxybenzene and 4-(5'-non-4'-enyl)-1,2-methylenedioxybenzene. Compositions including these compounds exhibit antimicrobial activity against a variety of pathogens and pathovars, e.g., Xanthomonas campestris spp. bacteria, antifungal activity against a variety of fungi and bacteria, and are highly specific, e.g.
