Abstract: Disclosed herein are combinations of Yersinia entomophaga and/or Yersinia nurmii and/or toxins therefrom, with one or more of a variety of substances, including animal repellents, acaricides, antimicrobials, avicides, bactericides, biostimulants, disinfectants and/or sanitizers, fungicides, gastropodicides, herbicides, insecticides, insect growth regulators, insect repellents, miticides, molluscicides, nematicides, plant signal molecules, plant nutrients, plant fertilizers, predacides, piscicides, rodenticides, termiticides, viricides, and the like. The combinations may have additive effects or unexpected effects on pests, insects being one example, and/or on plant growth and/or plant yield. Also disclosed are methods for using the disclosed combinations.

Abstract: A detector for object authentication includes first and second illumination sources. The first illumination source projects an illumination pattern including a plurality of illumination features onto a surface of an object. The second illumination source projects an illuminating light beam onto the object. The detector also includes an image capture device for determining a first image including a plurality of reflection features generated by the surface of the object in response to the illumination pattern and for determining a second image including two dimensional information associated with the surface of the object generated in response to the illuminating light beam. The detector also includes an evaluation device for evaluating the first image and the second image, identifying a geometrical feature of the object, determining a material property of the object, and comparing the two dimensional information to data stored in a database for authentication of the object.

Abstract: A detector (110) for determining a position of at least one object is proposed.
