Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus for indicating pest activity that includes an activity indicator and an activity sensor. The activity sensor includes a substrate that is a material attractive to a target pest species, and a sensing element formed on and/or within the substrate. The sensing element is couplable to a power source and the activity indicator, and outputs a signal to the activity indicator. The signal is influenced by pest activity on and/or within the substrate, and the activity indicator indicates a state of the signal received from the sensing element. The state of the signal changes responsive to deposit of a pest excretion on the sensing element. The present disclosure also provides a pest activity reporting system incorporating the apparatus that conveys a state of the signal to a remote location. The present disclosure also provides an activity sensor for use in the apparatus.

Abstract: Pesticides based on hydroxy-substituted hydrocarbyl compounds, particularly vicinal diols, are available to control arthropod ectoparasites such as Pediculus humanus, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Musca domestica, the Blattidae, Blatella Germanica, and Periplaneta Americana, by introducing to the locus of an infestation of the pest, a composition containing as active ingredient a vicinal diol.

Abstract: The present invention provides a dolly (10) having a deck (12) including a plurality of rotatable members (14) secured thereto to support the deck (12) relative to a support surface (16) and enable the dolly (10) to move on the support surface (16). Each rotatable member (14) has a skirt element (24) located adjacent thereto. The or each skirt element (24) is movable relative to the deck (12) between a first position in which each rotatable member (14) is exposed beyond the adjacent skirt element (24) to a first extent and a second position in which each rotatable member (14) is exposed beyond the adjacent skirt element (24) to a second extent. The second extent is less than the first extent. Movement of the or each skirt element (24) between the first and second positions selectively engages a brake (50) to inhibit movement of the dolly (10) relative to the support surface (16).

Abstract: A device is described for joining a first phalange to a second adjacent phalange, such as the proximal phalange to the intermediate phalange at the proximal interphalangeal joint. The device is a substantially elongated member comprised of a resorbable material, such as, but not limited to polylactic acid, polyglycolic acid, and combinations thereof. The member has a first end portion, a middle portion, and second end portion spaced and opposed from the first end portion. The middle portion has a curvature such that an angle is formed between the first end portion and the second end portion, wherein the angle is substantially anatomically correct with respect to the particular joint, such as the proximal interphalangeal joint.

Abstract: The invention provides a fluidic oscillator that is symmetrical about a longitudinal plane of symmetry (P), comprising an enclosure defining an oscillation chamber and having an inlet opening and an outlet opening through which the fluid flows and which are in alignment in said plane (P) in a “longitudinal” first direction (A), said inlet opening being made in the form of a slot that is narrow in a second direction (B) extending transversely to said plane (P) and elongate in a third direction (C) parallel to said plane (P) and perpendicular to said longitudinal first direction (A), wherein said slot is provided in an insert which is removable from said enclosure.
