Patent number: 11856955Abstract: In one aspect, the invention relates to binary compositions that disrupt ORco-mediated odorant sensing. In particular, compounds and compositions are provided that can inhibit sensory (e.g., host targeting) functions in organisms that express ORco receptors such as airborne insects, e.g., mosquitos, and ticks. Methods of employing such agents, and articles incorporating the same, are also provided. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2020Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Vanderbilt UniversityInventors: Laurence J.

Patent number: 11144358Abstract: An exemplary system includes first and second controllers each configured to selectively operate in a master state and a standby state, a first watchdog timer associated with the first controller, and a second watchdog timer associated with the second controller. Each watchdog timer is configured to be either unexpired or expired. Selectively, the first controller operates in the master state and the second controller operates in the standby state when the first watchdog timer is unexpired and the second watchdog timer is expired, the first controller operates in the standby state and the second controller operates in the master state when the first watchdog timer is expired and the second watchdog timer is unexpired, and the first and second controllers both operate in the standby state when both the first and the second watchdog timer are expired or when both the first and the second watchdog timer are unexpired.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2018Date of Patent: October 12, 2021Assignee: Pure Storage, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Noble, Alex Gregory, Eric Kelly Blanchard
