Abstract: The invention relates to a firearm analysis device for determining parameters which are indicative for a firearm from a shot which has been discharged from the weapon, as well as a corresponding method, a corresponding firearm and a computer program product. The device comprises a voltage generating unit which generates an alternating voltage (Ue) during a counter-recoil travel and/or recoil travel of a movable weapon part occurring during a firing. The device is characterized by a signal processing unit which generates a measurement signal (IN+) from the generated AC voltage (Ue), a signal evaluation unit which determines a first time point and a second time point during the counter-recoil travel and/or recoil travel of the movable weapon part, and a time determination unit which determines a time period duration between the first time point and the second time point.

Abstract: An additive dispensing system and method for dispensing wash additive from an additive reservoir of a washing machine appliance is provided. The additive dispensing system includes a tank level sensor and a Venturi pump for drawing wash additive from the additive reservoir. The method includes measuring a level of wash additive in the additive reservoir using the tank level sensor and/or the viscosity of the wash additive, determining an additive dispense rate based at least in part on the level of wash additive and/or the viscosity of the wash additive, and selectively dispensing the flow of water through the Venturi pump based at least in part on the additive dispense rate to dispense a target volume of the wash additive.

Abstract: A scent dispensing assembly for a washing machine appliance includes a scent dispensing box defining a reservoir for receiving a scented material, such as aromatic oil. An ultrasonic diffuser may be mounted to a bottom of the scent dispensing box for generating a flow of scented vapor from the scented material which may pass into the wash chamber through an aperture in the scent dispensing box. The flow of scented vapor may be drawn into the wash chamber by spinning the wash basket to generate air circulation. In addition, a fan may be fluidly coupled with the reservoir for urging the flow of scented vapor into the wash chamber.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for controlling phytopathogenic microorganisms by treating the crop to be protected, the soil or the plant propagation material with an effective amount of copper salt particles which comprise a water-soluble polymer and which have a primary particle diameter of from 1 to 200 nm. The invention also relates to an aqueous suspension of the abovementioned copper salt particles and the use of this suspension in crop protection.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of applying an aqueous, pesticide-comprising dispersion of a polyurethane which is a reaction product of at least one polyol (A) and at least one polyisocyanate (B) to plants or plant parts. The invention furthermore relates to an aqueous pesticide-comprising dispersion of a polyurethane which is a reaction product of at least one polyol (A) and at least one polyisocyanate (B). Furthermore, it relates to the use of the dispersion for controlling phytopathogenic fungi and/or undesired plant growth and/or undesired insect or mite attack and/or for regulating the growth of plants, by allowing the dispersion to act on the respective pests, their environment and/or the plants or plant parts to be protected from the respective pests, the soil and/or on undesired plants and/or the use plants and/or their environment.
