  • USE OF PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENT STABILIZING AGENTS TO REGULATE RIPENING AND QUALITY IN FRUITS AND VEGETABLES
    Publication number: 20150037476
    Abstract: Methods and compositions to temporarily delay the ripening, maturation, senescence and pathogen infection of produce such as fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants are provided. The methods involve the application of a photosynthetic pigment and/or membrane stabilizing chemical (e.g. glycine betaine) to produce which is identified as in need of such delay. Application may be prior to harvest, at or during harvest or post-harvest.

  • CONTROL OF RIPENING AND SENESCENCE IN PRE-HARVEST AND POST-HARVEST PLANTS AND PLANT MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20140121110
    Abstract: Methods of controlling the maturation of plants and/or plant products (e.g. fruit, vegetable, ornamentals, etc.) by manipulating Alternative Oxidase (AOX) activity. An increase in activity hastens the maturation process while a decrease in activity slows or stops maturation.

  • FILTER ELEMENT WITH A COMBINED ENDPLATE/LID WITH A CENTRAL HOLE
    Publication number: 20140034566
    Abstract: A filter element is described that includes an endplate that also serves as the lid or cover for the filter housing. The combined endplate/lid includes a central hole that is closed to fluid flow when the proper filter element-housing combination is used. Various embodiments for different functional uses of the central hole are also described.

  • Filter Interface Security System
    Publication number: 20130240418
    Abstract: A filter includes a replaceable filter element cartridge in a housing. A valve is actuatable between a first condition passing dirty fluid from the housing inlet to the filter cartridge for filtration, and a second condition blocking passage of the dirty fluid from the inlet to the filter cartridge. The filter cartridge and the valve engage in keyed relation, with the keying feature utilizing an identifier, e.g. a brand, a logo, etc., verifying authenticity of the filter cartridge.
