Abstract: Pest controlling compositions exhibiting enhanced pesticidal activity levels are disclosed. In one embodiment, a composition includes at least one pesticide, at least one proteinaceous material and at least one polymeric material. In this embodiment, the composition exhibits enhanced pesticidal activity levels compared to a composition dissimilar only in not having the at least one proteinaceous material and the at least one polymeric material. Still, alternative embodiment pesticide compositions exhibiting enhanced activity levels are disclosed.

Abstract: Pest controlling compositions exhibiting enhanced pesticidal activity levels and methods for preparing the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method includes providing a liquid composition that includes at least one pesticide and at least one co-ingredient that enhances pesticidal activity of the composition compared to a composition dissimilar only in not having the at least one co-ingredient. The at least one co-ingredient may include at least one metal oxide, a combination of at least one transition metal salt and at least one proteinaceous material or a combination of at least one proteinaceous material and at least one polymeric material. The method further includes spray drying the liquid composition to provide a solid composition. In one aspect of this embodiment, the solid composition provided by the spray drying exhibits enhanced pesticidal activity compared to the liquid composition.

Abstract: Methods to control certain invertebrates including insects in agricultural, urban, animal health, and industrial systems by directly or systemically applying to a locus where control is desired an effective amount of a compound of N-substituted sulfoximines.

Abstract: A soybean cultivar designated S010136 is disclosed. The invention relates to the seeds of soybean cultivar S010136, to the plants of soybean S010136, to plant parts of soybean cultivar S010136 and to methods for producing a soybean plant produced by crossing soybean cultivar S010136 with itself or with another soybean variety. The invention also relates to methods for producing a soybean plant containing in its genetic material one or more transgenes and to the transgenic soybean plants and plant parts produced by those methods. This invention also relates to soybean cultivars or breeding cultivars and plant parts derived from soybean variety S010136, to methods for producing other soybean cultivars, lines or plant parts derived from soybean cultivar S010136 and to the soybean plants, varieties, and their parts derived from use of those methods. The invention further relates to hybrid soybean seeds, plants and plant parts produced by crossing the cultivar S010136 with another soybean cultivar.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes prefabricated, modular plumbing assemblies and methods of installing the plumbing assemblies. The plumbing assemblies contain all the components needed for a complete installation. The plumbing assemblies are modular and prefabricated, so that in most cases only one measurement is required on site for installation of the assemblies. The installed plumbing assemblies are at an appropriate finished height and orientation for connection to a plumbing fixture. The use of the plumbing assemblies of the present disclosure greatly simplifies the installation process, decreasing the labor cost associated with installation, decreasing the time needed for installation, saving on material costs and material waste and reducing the installation errors inherent in the current methods for installing plumbing assemblies.

Abstract: An adaptor is provided for a vehicle load bed having stake pockets along lateral edges. The adaptor allows pallets having indented peripheries to roll over the bed and to be locked in place on the bed. The adaptor has a base lying on the bed and guides in the form of upright walls disposed along lateral edges of the base. The guides keep the pallet on the bed as the pallet rides along the bed. Stakes on the bottom of the base are locked into the pockets to retain the adaptor to the bed. Extending from the walls are lips disposed over the pallet so as to limit or eliminate the pallet's vertical travel. The pallets ride on elongate rollers journalled between roller supports. The supports are fixed on the base parallel to the walls. Apertures of the same shape are defined both in the lips and the base and are aligned with one another. To fix the pallets to the adaptor, locking members are passed through the lip apertures, fit with indents of the pallets and passed through the base apertures.

Abstract: An adapter converts for aircraft use a cargo container whose fork lift acs tubes pass through the container's frame. The adapter has first blocks at ends of the tubes, and wedge portions of the first blocks face on the tubes' insides. Adapter members affix to the first blocks and extend along the container's base. Second, wedge-like blocks at the tubes' ends face against both the tubes' insides and the first blocks. The second blocks move together to lock the first blocks in place. The mechanism to force the second blocks together includes elongate members in the tubes. One end of each elongate member is threaded and passes through one of the second blocks while the other end of the elongate member connects to another second block. Turning a nut on the elongate member forces the one second block toward the other second block.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for predicting the efficacy of cardioversion as a dality for reverting a patient with atrial fibrillation to normal sinus rhythm. Blood flow through the patient's atrium is measured, converted and processed using nonlinear or chaotic processing to obtain a differential radius signal. The number of excursions of the differential radius beyond a threshold value indicates whether cardioversion will be successful.

Abstract: An adaptor assembly for a pallet or platform allows plural cargo carrying nfigurations for the pallet. The assembly has a pocket at the edge of the pallet's bed, the pocket having opposed sides, a web therebetween facing the edge of the bed and a ledge between the sides. The pocket has a gap between the sides adjacent to and coplanar with the ledge. A clamp passing through the gap has a mediate section faced on the edge, the mediate section opposing the web and contacting the sides of the pocket. First and second legs of the clamp join to the mediate section and bear on opposed sides of the bed, the mediate section and the legs together forming a C-shaped structure closely received on the bed. A flange extends inboard of the pallet from the first leg and provides a cargo tie-down point. The clamp has one position where the flange is above the bed and has an inverted position where the flange is below the bed.
