Abstract: The invention relates to a method for treating extinguisher powder wastes with the aim of recycling the waste into agricultural fertilizers. The invention includes mixing the extinguisher powder wastes with a viscous cohesive agent, and blending a drying agent into the obtained mixture. The cohesive agent is based on sugar by-products, more particularly being vinasse or molasses. The drying agent is notably based on crushed and dried vegetables and, more particularly, on fruit pulp, for example, grape pulp.

Abstract: The method for preparing a novel elicitor or agent stimulating the defenses of plants against pathogens is applied to agronomically useful plants in order to control pathogens. The elicitor is prepared without extraction by a liquid from a dry product made of Trigonella foenum graecum seeds. The inventive method preferably includes the following steps: separating the germ fraction and cotyledon of the seed; grinding the fraction so as to obtain a powder; and solubilizing the powder in water, whereupon the obtained solution is sprayed onto the plant/s that is/are to be treated.

Abstract: A system for identifying a signal source in a predetermined space, the system including multiple sensing units arranged at different locations to detect signals in the predetermined space. The system also includes one or more recording units arranged to separately and simultaneously record a detected signal at each of the sensing units that detects the signal. The system further includes a processing unit including a first storage area configured to store a set of identified signatures corresponding to multiple signal sources in the predetermined space, and a second storage area configured to store parameters related to the conditions under which the recordings of the signal are made. The processing unit also includes an identifying unit that is programmed to identify a signal source by comparing a determined signal spectrum with some or all of the signatures included in the set of identified signatures.

Abstract: In a method of identifying a source of a signal, the signal is recorded and then analyzed in order to determine its spectrum. The method includes the following steps: in parallel with recording the signal, storing parameters significant of the conditions under which the recording is made; after analyzing the signal and determining its spectrum, detecting lines emerging from the background noise of the signal, using a predetermined emergence threshold; comparing each line detected with some or all of a set of signatures of sources identified and inventoried in a database established prior to the recording; and for each line, and where applicable, selecting signatures that may correspond to the line and, as a function of the resulting signature/line pairs, consolidating, resolving ambiguity of, or quantifying the source corresponding to said line.

Abstract: A method for identifying a signal source in a predetermined space, the method including inventorying a set of identified signatures corresponding to a plurality of signal sources and recording a signal simultaneously at different locations of the predetermined space. Parameters related to the conditions under which the recordings are made are then stored, and a spectrum of the signal is determined. The method also includes detecting a line emerging from background noise of the spectrum by using a predetermined emergence threshold. The line is then compared with some or all of the signatures included in the set of identified signatures, and at least one signature corresponding to the line is selected to create at least one signature/line pair. Finally, a source of the signal is identified based on the selecting step.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling pathogenic organisms of agronomically useful plants by means of a novel elicitor and to a composition for implementing said method. Said method for controlling pathogenic organisms of agronomically useful or ornamental plants is essentially characterized in that a novel elicitor contained in the seed extracts of Trigonella foenum graccum is applied to said plants. Said elicitor is applied in the precocious or mature growth states.
