Abstract: A safety system includes (a) a rope or lanyard; (b) a safety hook attached to the rope or lanyard; (c) a load detection sensor retrofit to the hook without altering the structural integrity of the hook; and (d) a transmitter arranged to convey a load status signal.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for improving the compatibility of aqueous herbicide solutions containing at least one of a water soluble salt of an aryloxyalkanoic acid, a water soluble salt of a pyridyloxyalkanoic acid, and a water soluble salt of glyphosate, and optionally ?16% of one or more fertilizers, such as ammonium sulfate, by adding certain polymeric crystallization inhibitors are provided.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for improving the compatibility of aqueous herbicide solutions containing at least one of a water soluble salt of an aryloxyalkanoic acid, a water soluble salt of a pyridyloxyalkanoic acid, and a water soluble salt of glyphosate by adding a surface active compatibilizer are provided.

Abstract: The compatibility of aqueous herbicide solutions containing water soluble salts of 2,4-D and glyphosate in the presence of inorganic cations is improved by the addition of polyethylenimine or polyvinylamine crystallization inhibitors.

Abstract: Complexes of herbicidal carboxylic acids and amine-containing polymers or oligomers are provided. These herbicidal complexes are useful for controlling unwanted plant growth. The herbicidal complexes have low solubility in water, low volatility relative to commercial compositions of the corresponding herbicidal carboxylic acids, and offer similar or improved herbicidal performance when compared to existing salts of the herbicidal carboxylic acids.

Abstract: A method is provided for communicating between a source node and a destination node in a mobile ad-hoc network. The method may include transmitting a quality-of-service (QoS) route request from the source node to the destination node via a plurality of intermediate nodes therebetween to discover routing to the destination node based upon a plurality of QoS parameters. Responsive to the QoS route request, a plurality of potential routes between the source node and the destination node may be determined along with a QoS metric corresponding to each of the QoS parameters for each potential route. Further, the QoS parameters may be ranked in an order of importance, and each of the QoS metrics weighted based upon the ranking of QoS parameters. As such, the weighted QoS metrics may be compared, and one of the potential routes may be selected based thereon for the transmission of message data.
