Abstract: The invention relates to water-dispersible granules of a pesticidally active main component of sufficiently high melting point, a liquid pesticidal active substance or pesticidal active substance of low melting point and/or which is not sufficiently biologically active in the solid state, in dissolved form, a solvent or solvent mixture with low volatility, and, if appropriate, further additives or adjuvants. The granules are prepared from an aqueous suspoemulsion of the components by removing the water, for example in a fluidized-bed drier. The novel granules are distinguished by an outstanding spontaneous dispersibility and a good biological activity of the formulations prepared from them.

Abstract: It is an aim of this invention to provide spray formulations which include live organisms and which can be used as pesticides or plant treatment products and whose storage stability at room temperature is considerably higher compared with corresponding formulations of the prior art. Moreover, it is intended that the spray formulation can be handled with greater ease, that is to say that it is, for example, free-flowing, low in dust and readily measured out, in order to be more user friendly.

Abstract: Disclosed and claimed are granules containing: (a) 5 to 80% with weight of spores or active units of one or more organisms which act as pesticides or plant treatment agents, (b) 5 to 60% by weight of one or more suitable wetting agents and dispersants, (c) 2 to 50% by weight of at least one protective substance which prevents desiccation, (d) 5 to 70% by weight of magnesium silicate or aluminum silicate, (e) 0.5 to 20% by weight of at least one substance which protects against UV radiation, and (f) a residual water content of 2-10%. The granules are a spray formulation which can be used as pesticides or plant treatment products. The granules have storage stability and are free-flowing, low in dust and readily measured out in use.

Abstract: A sensor for acoustic shockwave pulses, such as in lithotripsy, includes a piezo-electric measuring membrane disposed between two coupling membranes. The intervening space between the coupling membranes is filled with a coupling medium for transmitting the acoustic shockwave pulses. The measuring membrane is in a defined condition largely independent of external influences so that flows in the coupling medium or different pressure exertions on the two coupling membranes do not influence the measured signal produced by the measuring membrane.
