  • Patent number: 11434036
    Abstract: A label application system and method for applying a label to a package travelling on a conveyor along a conveying path includes: an applicator apparatus which is operable to move a label into contact with a package, a control system, which controls operation of the applicator apparatus, and a sensor system operable to detect an edge of the package, a distance from a reference point to the package, and the speed at which the package is travelling, wherein the control system is operable to receive and process the data from the sensor system relating to the package and initiate operation of the applicator apparatus such that the label is applied to the package in a desired position as the package moves in a direction of travel.

  • Patent number: 8603211
    Abstract: A mixture for the treatment of urea-containing fertilizers comprises a) at least one (thio)phosphoric acid triamide of the general formula (I) R1R2N—P(X)(NH2)2 and/or (thio)phosphoric acid diamide of the general formula (II) R1O—P(X)(NH2)2, X denoting oxygen or sulfur, R1 and R2 independently from each other being hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted 2-nitrophenyl, C1-10-alkyl, C3-10-cycloalkyl, C3-10-heterocycloalkyl, C6-10-aryl, C6-10-heteroaryl or diaminocarbonyl, where R1 and R2 together with the nitrogen atom connecting them can also form a 5 or 6-membered saturated or unsaturated heterocyclic group, which optionally may also comprise one or two additional heteroatoms selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur, as component A, and b) at least one compound comprising an amino group having a boiling point of more than 100° C. as component B.
