    Abstract: A storage device for holding at least one elongate article includes a wall having an interior wall surface and an exterior wall surface, the wall being deformable about a longitudinal axis between an open configuration and a closed configuration, the closed configuration defining a longitudinally extending cavity; and at least one retainer clip coupled to, or integrally formed with, the interior wall surface, the retainer clip(s) being configured to receive and retain the elongate article(s) in a generally longitudinally extending orientation. In the closed configuration, the retainer clip(s) and any elongate article(s) retained by the retainer clip(s) are located within the cavity. In the open configuration, access is provided to the retainer clip(s) thereby allowing the elongate article(s) to be received and removed from the retainer clip(s).

  • Publication number: 20190124907
    Abstract: A spraying system for spraying a fluid includes a nozzle assembly configured to spray the fluid in response to receiving a control signal, a sensor configured to transmit a detection signal upon detection of a target, and a user interface configured to receive input from an operator. The spraying system further includes a control system communicatively coupled to the sensor to receive the detection signal from the sensor, the control system configured to transmit the control signal to the nozzle assembly at least in part in response to reception of the detection signal, the control system further configured to determine a fluid band length and an offset distance of the fluid band length from the target based at least in part on information input by the operator to the user interface. The user interface displays a graphic representation of the fluid band length and the offset distance relative to the target.

  • Publication number: 20190124910
    Abstract: A method for remediating developmentally delayed plants within a field of crops using at least one work vehicle during a field operation. The method comprises identifying delayed plants within the field with a sensor on the work vehicle and generating, with a processor, location data associated with the location of the delayed plant with the field. Upon arriving at the location of the delayed plant with the work vehicle, the delayed plant is remediated.

  • Publication number: 20190124912
    Abstract: An animal trap contains multiple tubular sections connected with side latches to form a single hollow structure. A trigger mechanism includes a curved wobble plate with curvature matching a rear tube section. When stepped on by an animal, the curved wobble plate pulls a trigger pin from a trap door causing the door to fall to the ground. A rotatable door latch then moves into a locked position preventing the door from opening. After determining the trap to contain an animal, a trapper transports the trap to a remote location. A pull rope is connected to at least one of the sections, and another section may be anchored to the ground using anchor pins. The trapper undoes the side latches and rotates the door latch into an unlocked position. The trapper removes the door from the trap and pulls the trap sections apart thereby releasing the animal from the trap.

  • Publication number: 20190124913
    Abstract: A rodent bait station having a counting mechanism configured to monitor the number of rodents entering the bait chamber of a rodent bait station. The housing has a counting mechanism in communication with the entrance of at least one bait chamber opening. A sensor is in communication with the counting mechanism. The counting mechanism can be mechanically actuated or electronically activated when the sensor detects a rodent entering through the bait chamber of the bait station. The bait chamber has at least one bait rod having an end that is hingedly connected to an inner wall of the bait chamber. A resilient member is in communication with the bait rod to position the bait rod in a substantially horizontal orientation when the housing lid is closed and to position the bait rod in a substantially vertical orientation when the housing lid is opened.
