Publication number: 20160266277Abstract: A sensor module may be formed including a core of ferromagnetic material associated with a wire coil forming a passive inductor resonant circuit, which may be used in temperature sensor modules and pressure sensor modules suitable for use in high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive environments. The passive inductor resonant circuits of the sensors may be tuned such that its resonant frequency is in a bounded frequency band interrogable with an electromagnetic energy signal having a frequency of less than or equal to about 10 MHz. Such sensors may be disposed in series in a sensor array, interrogable with an interrogation module, where the interrogation module may demultiplex, the frequencies of the multiple sensors to determine the environmental conditions sensed by the individual sensors.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 5, 2014Publication date: September 15, 2016Applicant: FMC Technologies, Inc.Inventors: T. Joel Blackburn, Mitchell K. Knaub, Matthew S. Triche, L. Lane Sanford, Eric J. Snell, Mahlon Lisk, Levi Honeker

Patent number: 6792713Abstract: A replenishable pest control apparatus includes a housing having at least one component, such as a surface or shelf, treated with a residual pesticide and at least one other component treated with or configured to contain, an attractant. Each of the components is configured to be replenished by re-treating the component with an appropriate attractant and/or pesticide, by refilling a reservoir, by replacing a depleted component with a pretreated component, or a combination thereof. The attractant is not required to be toxic, and may comprise any appropriate/desired attractant, such as a food source, an odor attractant, a visual attractant, an acoustic attractant, a pheromone, or a combination thereof. The pesticide may be any appropriate/desired pesticide for the type of pest to be controlled.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2002Date of Patent: September 21, 2004Assignee: B & G Equipment CompanyInventor: Eric J. Snell

Publication number: 20040079025Abstract: A modular pest control system which includes structure that is specifically designed to capitalize upon the physiology and/or behavior of a wide assortment of pests to render the system more attractive to the pests. The system is modular in nature whereby it may be configured as desired or necessary to target any combination of one or more species of pests. The modular system preferably includes, at minimum, a first component in the form of a pest control device that may be releasably connectable to a second component. The first component may contain one or more materials or structural features for controlling any individual species or combinations of species of ground crawling pests, termites and rodents. The second component may be a releasable base for securing the first component to vegetation, building surfaces and materials, or targeted areas of soil.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 11, 2003Publication date: April 29, 2004Applicant: B&G Equipment CompanyInventors: Eric J.
