  • Publication number: 20190000066
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the application of liquid active substances. The subject matter of the present invention is a system, a method and a computer program product for the application of an active substance concentrate from a replaceable cartridge in a diluted form onto a target object with the aid of a portable spray device, wherein important parameters of the spray process are exchanged between the cartridge and/or the spray device and/or an external computer system.

  • Publication number: 20180368413
    Abstract: Water-based formulations (EW) are provided containing no VOC's or alternatively are low in VOC's for wide area space spray to control mosquitoes, flies, and other public health pests. Application via ULV, these formulations have been observed to provide significantly superior control of pests when compared to competitive adulticides. The present formulations provide exceptional preservation of both droplet density in the spray cloud and droplet size as measured by volume mean diameter (VmD). The present formulations provide superior bio-efficacy as measured by both mortality and knockdown of target organisms. The present formulations provide superior biological control, droplet density, and droplet size when applied at concentrations 20-80× less than competitive formulations.

  • Patent number: 10152035
    Abstract: The instant disclosure provides an ability to use an array of data inputs to enter a network and thereby provide a realtime improvable database. The present invention is novel in its ability to maximize the customer's interface with a pest control system, thus allowing for maximum efficiency for current and future designs as well as a high level of compatibility with ancillary regulatory, financial and planning type functions.

  • Publication number: 20180295831
    Abstract: A pest monitoring system and associated method includes pest monitoring devices for placement at a site and generating a signal upon detection of a pest, and a pesticide dispensing unit including a reservoir housing a diluent and a pesticide module housing a pesticide. A computer device remotely disposed to the pest monitoring devices receives generated signals therefrom, analyzes environmental and historical factor data for the site to determine an amount and placement location of the pest monitoring devices for monitoring the site, and directs deployment of the pest control monitoring devices according to the analysis. The computer device also receives data from the pesticide dispensing unit including an amount or rate of the pesticide substance dispensed from the pesticide module, to form treatment having a concentration of the pesticide substance in the diluent, the treatment being dispensed from the pesticide dispensing unit to treat a detected pest at the site.

  • Patent number: 8919770
    Abstract: A printer extracts a media sheet from a plurality of media sheets in a media supply and moves the media sheet along a media path. A plurality of sensors on the media path generate signals as the media sheet moves past the sensors, and the printer identifies a cross-process direction dimension of the media sheet with references to signals generated by the sensors. The printer identifies the dimension of the print medium without requiring media size sensors in the media supply.
