  • Patent number: 9491938
    Abstract: The application is generally directed towards a drop nozzle for an agricultural sprayer. The drop nozzle can be used to reduce spray drift as liquids are deposited by the sprayer. The drop nozzle includes a valve assembly including a shutoff valve, a tube operably connected to the valve assembly, and an airfoil connected to the tube. The shutoff valve selectively prevents fluid flow from the valve assembly to the tube and the airfoil directs airflow around one or more portions of the drop nozzle.

  • Patent number: 9426247
    Abstract: A method, system and program are disclosed for accelerating data storage in a cache appliance cluster that transparently monitors NFS and CIFS traffic between clients and NAS subsystems and caches files using dynamically adjustable cache policies which populate the storage cache using behavioral adaptive policies that are based on analysis of clients-filers transaction patterns and network utilization, thereby improving access time to the data stored on the disk-based NAS filer (group) for predetermined applications.

  • Patent number: 9355036
    Abstract: A network attached storage (NAS) caching appliance, system, and associated method of operation for caching a networked file system. Still further, some embodiments provide for a cache system that implements a mufti-tiered, policy-influenced block replacement algorithm.

  • Patent number: 9357030
    Abstract: A method, system and program are disclosed for accelerating data storage by providing non-disruptive storage caching using clustered cache appliances with packet inspection intelligence. A cache appliance cluster that transparently monitors NFS and CIFS traffic between clients and NAS subsystems and caches files using dynamically adjustable cache policies provides low-latency access and redundancy in responding to both read and write requests for cached files, thereby improving access time to the data stored on the disk-based NAS filer (group).

  • Patent number: 7666242
    Abstract: An adjuvant that is applied to foliage or fruit or both of a plant and comprises an effective amount ammonium sulfate, an effective amount of an alkyl polysaccharide and n effective amount of a mono, di or polysaccharide. The adjuvant is dispersed in a selected amount of water along with a selected amount of micronutrients or secondary nutrients such that when applied to foliage or fruit or both of the plant, the adjuvant causes an increase in the intake of the micronutrients or secondary nutrients applied to foliage or fruit.
