Patent number: 7951388Abstract: The present invention utilizes extracts of the pre-sporulation (preconidial) mycelial stage of entomopathogenic fungi as insect attractants and/or pathogens. The fungus can be cultivated on grain, wood, agricultural wastes or other cellulosic material. More than one fungus and substrate can be used in combination.Type: GrantFiled: October 20, 2008Date of Patent: May 31, 2011Inventor: Paul Stamets

Patent number: 7122176Abstract: The present invention utilizes the pre-sporulation (preconidial) mycelial stage of entomopathogenic fungi as insect attractants and/or pathogens. The fungus can be cultivated on grain, wood, agricultural wastes or other cellulosic material, attracting the insect and optionally introducing insect-specific pathogenic fungi. More than one fungus and substrate can be used in combination. The matrix of preconidial fungi can optionally be dried, freeze-dried, cooled and/or pelletized and packaged and reactivated for use as an effective insect attractant and/or biopesticide. Attractant extracts of the preconidial entomopathogenic mycelium are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2001Date of Patent: October 17, 2006Assignee: Mycosys, LLCInventor: Paul Edward Stamets

Patent number: 6905634Abstract: Luminescent polymers are prepared from thermosetting unsaturated polyesters, suspending fillers and phosphorescent pigments and utilized to make gel coated articles and molded, cast and fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) articles. The luminescent polymers show bright and long-lasting photoluminescent afterglow, strong thermostimulation of afterglow by heat and electroluminescent properties. The preferred thermosetting unsaturated polyester resins are prepared by condensing mixtures of ethylenically unsaturated and aromatic dicarboxylic acids and anhydrides with dihydric alcohols and a polymerizable vinylidene monomer. Preferred suspending fillers and thixotropic modifiers include silica, microspheres, glass fibers and other short fibers, nepheline syenite, feldspar, mica, pumice, magnesium sulfate, calcium carbonate, bentonite and the various clays and thixotropic modifiers and mixtures thereof.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2002Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Inventor: Peter Burnell-Jones

Patent number: 6660290Abstract: The present invention utilizes the non-sporulating mycelial stage of insect-specific parasitic fungi. The fungus can be present on grain, attracting the pest, and also infecting it through digestion. More than one fungus can be used in combination. The matrix of fungi can be dried or freeze-dried, packaged and reactivated for as an effective bioinsecticide.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2000Date of Patent: December 9, 2003Assignee: Myco Pesticides LLCInventor: Paul Edward Stamets

Patent number: 6207077Abstract: Luminescent polymers are prepared from thermosetting unsaturated polyesters, suspending fillers and phosphorescent pigments and utilized to make gel coated articles and molded, cast and fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) articles. The luminescent polymers show bright and long-lasting photoluminescent afterglow, strong thermostimulation of afterglow by heat and electroluminescent properties. The preferred thermosetting unsaturated polyester resins are prepared by condensing mixtures of ethylenically unsaturated and aromatic dicarboxylic acids and anhydrides with dihydric alcohols and a polymerizable vinylidene monomer. Phthalic (orthophthalic) and isophthalic aromatic modified polyesters and their substituted derivatives are preferred, particularly those formed from maleate or fumarate unsaturated dicarboxylic acids and anhydrides and a glycol or mixtures of glycols. The preferred monomer is styrene.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1998Date of Patent: March 27, 2001Assignee: Orion 21 A.D. PTY LTDInventor: Peter Burnell-Jones
