  • Publication number: 20240172753
    Abstract: Agricultural concentrates, particularly emulsifiable concentrates, are disclosed. The agricultural concentrates comprise a 3-alkoxy-4-aryl-5-oxopyrazoline compound, an emulsifier, and an adjuvant comprising one or more C6-C14 triglycerides. The adjuvants surprisingly enhance herbicidal efficacy of the oxopyrazoline compound while limiting its decomposition in the concentrates. Water-diluted formulations resist phase separation and control grassy weeds well without harming crops such as winter barley or winter wheat. The triglycerides are an efficacious, non-irritating, sustainable alternative to the phosphate esters now used as pinoxaden adjuvants.

  • Publication number: 20230182936
    Abstract: The invention relates to grasping system comprising a grasping head (15) for a sheet transporting device, in particular for transporting an insert sheet to be inserted between rows of folding boxes in a receptacle, the grasping head (15) having at least one support frame (80) and a plurality of aspiration elements (17, 18). The aspiration elements (17, 18) are mounted on holding elements (50) which are received on the support frame (80) so as to be displaceable with respect to the support frame (80).

  • Patent number: 9840057
    Abstract: A radial spacing, between two rotating cylindrical embossing tools, is adjustable, in an embossing device (14) having: an armature (19, 21); a first structure (16, 24, 26, 27, 29) which is movably mounted in translation relative to the armature (19, 21), which has a first rotating cylindrical tool (16); a second structure (17, 22, 28, 31) mounted in a fixed manner on the armature (19, 21) and which is provided with a second rotating cylindrical tool (17). A method includes steps of: pushing (T) on the first structure to move it closer to the second structure by leaning on the armature (19, 21) to adjust a radial space, or pulling (P) on the first structure (16, 24, 26, 27, 29) in order to move it away from the second structure (17, 22, 28, 31) by leaning on the armature (19, 21) in order to finely adjust the radial spacing between the first and the second tools (16, 17).

  • Patent number: 9428361
    Abstract: A device (1) for transporting planar elements along a given conveying path, which includes an endless transport member (10) that is movably guided over the entire length of the conveying path by a series of substantially adjacent guide members (20, 30), at least one movable guide member (30) being movably mounted separately from the static guide members (20) that are fixedly mounted, between a retracted position in which the movable guide member (30) is placed in direct alignment with the static guide members (20), and a deployed position in which the movable guide member (30) is spaced apart from the static guide members (20).
