Abstract: A system includes a film processing module, a processor, and memory. The processor and memory are in communication with the film processing module. The processor is configured to dynamically coordinate movement of the film processing module relative to a moving web of film and to perform a function on the web of film with the film processing module.
Abstract: An improved remote insect detector is disclosed. The detector includes a pitfall trap that is adapted to trap a target insect within the pitfall trap. An insect funnel passage is located below the pitfall trap and is dimensioned to retain the target insect in a detecting position. An optical beam detection circuit operates to detect the target insect in the detecting position and operates to generate a detection signal.

Abstract: A volatile material dispenser includes a base that houses a printed circuit board. The volatile material dispenser also includes a stand assembly and a shroud. The stand assembly is coupled with the base. The stand assembly includes a platform, a stand that extends from the platform, and a manifold that extends from the stand. The manifold contains a circular piezoelectric element. The shroud is positioned on the base. The shroud defines a chimney that is centered along a longitudinal axis. The manifold includes an annular wall that extends from the manifold. A spring is disposed within the manifold and is coaxial with the annular wall. A top end of the spring is wrapped around the annular wall and a bottom end of the spring applies a force against the piezoelectric element.
