Abstract: Described is a composition, which is a natural and organic pesticide, specifically for mitigating, controlling and treating fungicidal, virucidal and bactericidal pathogenic microorganisms in agricultural products such as root crops, fruits and vegetables. Examples of such disease-causing microorganisms are Mycosphaerella fijensis causing black Sigatoka disease in Cavendish (banana), Ralstonia solanacearum causing Moko disease in Cavendish (banana), Lasiodiplodia theobromae causing soft rot or fruit rot in crops and fruits, Fusarium oxysporum causing Panama wilt in fruits and crops, and many others. The composition is a fermented product of tropical plants, carbon source, protein (nitrogen) source, and a carrier agent. The fermented product may help strengthen the plant's immune system to fight pathogenic diseases. Since all the major constituents of the composition are generally regarded as safe, this natural pesticide is found to be non-toxic and safe to humans and animals, and environmentally benign.

Abstract: A determination is made as to when the current flowing through a transistor exceeds a predetermined threshold. When the current exceeds the predetermined threshold, the transistor is deactivated. The deactivating of the transistor is effective to limit the current that flows through the transistor. The limiting of the current is effective to prevent damage to the transistor in an over current condition. The transistor is maintained in a deactivated state until a time off circuit resets the DC-DC converter circuit. The maintaining of the transistor in the deactivated state until a time off circuit resets the DC-DC converter circuit is additionally effective to reduce the time on (Duty Cycle—D.C.) and frequency to further prevent damage to the transistor due to switching power losses.

Abstract: A device and method to restrain a container against a vehicle seat with minimal conspicuousness of the container and obstruction by the container. The device is comprised of a vehicle fastener, strap, recoiling wheel, cable, and container fastener. The method uses the combinative effect of spring, frictional, and gravitational forces to limit the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal movement of the container during normal vehicle operations such as accelerating, decelerating, and turning. The device and method involve placing a container on the vehicle floor near the front edge of a seat, connecting a hook to a headrest pole, attaching an optional stabilizer to the front edge of the seat, extending a cable from the recoiling wheel, connecting a hook to the container handles, and releasing the device and container. The method provides stable and safe retention of a container and allows for the container to be partially hidden from view.
