Abstract: A filter for filter air for an internal combustion engine and methods of operation are described herein. The air precleaner is configured to use electrostatic attraction or repulsion to move ionized particles towards an inner wall of the air precleaner, where the particles eventually exit the air precleaner through a particle exhaust. The particles are ionized using a positive charge plate and a negative charge plate. The positive charge plate creates a positive charge field, creating positive ions that ionize particles in the air with a positive charge. The negative charge plate creates a negative charge field, creating negative ions that ionize particles in the air with a negative charge. The air precleaner can also include a cyclonic section that causes the air to rotate about a central axis of the air precleaner, imparting a centripetal force on the particles. The centripetal force and the electrostatic force act together to filter the air.

Abstract: Systems and methods for generating agronomic yield maps from field health imagery maps are described herein. In an embodiment, an agricultural intelligence computer system receives a field health imagery map for a particular agronomic field. The system additional receives data describing a total harvested mass of a crop on the particular agronomic field. The system computes an average yield for the plurality of locations on the particular agronomic field. Using the field health imagery map, the system generates a spatial distribution of agronomic yield based, at least in part, on the average yield. The system then generates a yield map using the spatial distribution of agronomic yield.

Abstract: The present invention relates to combinations of hydroxypyrion compounds, and silver compound which provide an improved biocidal effect. More particularly, the present invention relates to compositions comprising a combination of a hydroxypyrion compound selected from 1-hydroxy-2-pyridinone, ciclopirox, ciclopirox olamine, piroctone, piroctone olamine, rilopirox, or a salt thereof, together with one or more silver salts selected from silver acetate, silver alginate, silver azide, silver citrate, silver lactate, silver nitrate, silver perchlorate, silver sulfate, silver chloride, silver thiocyanate, silver-sodium-hydrogen-zirconium phosphate, silver sulfadiazine, silver cyclohexanediacetic acid and disilver 2,5-dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione in respective proportions to provide a synergistic biocidal effect.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of the anilinopyrimidines pyrimethanil, cyprodinil and mepanipyrim for the protection of wood and wood materials against wood destroying and wood discolouring fungi.

Abstract: This invention relates to synergistic compositions of oxathiazines and benzothiophene-2-carboxamide-S,S-dioxides for use as fungicidal preservatives in the protection of materials, such as protection of wood, wood products, biodegradable materials and coatings.

Abstract: The invention relates to a new type of tent pole base plate that is multifunctional. The new base plate aids in the positioning and the support of tent poles and keeps poles on plate and in proper position. It can be anchored to any surface and will serve as an anchor for both tent poles and tent side walls. Its use will eliminate the use of protruding stakes as pole anchors and will reduce the flapping of tent side wall.
