  • Apparatus and systems for applying a liquid crop-preservative formulation to a container
    Patent number: 11602762
    Abstract: A method for treating a substrate with a volatile liquid, crop-preservative formulation includes transporting a predetermined quantity of the formulation from a reservoir to an injection device and applying the predetermined quantity to the substrate. The substrate may thereafter be in proximity to a crop to be treated by the vapor from the formulation. The substrate is most conveniently a portion of a container in which the crop is stored or shipped.

  • TREATMENT OF CROPS WITH A LOWER ALKYL NAPHTHALENE TO ALTER CELL CYCLE AND WATER REGULATION
    Publication number: 20140200144
    Abstract: The instant invention relates to identification of certain genes in potatoes, which are activated by treatment of said potatoes with a preselected dosage of a lower alkyl naphthalene, especially 1,4 dimethyl naphthalene. The activation of these genes produces a dormancy-like state in said potatoes. Particular embodiments relate to the identification of dehydration-resistant genes in said potatoes, which were also activated by said treatment with a lower alkyl naphthalene, such as 1,4 dimethyl naphthalene.

  • Capacitively coupled electrical ground detection circuit
    Patent number: 6472859
    Abstract: An electrical ground detection circuit 10 having a first capacitor 18 and a second capacitor 20 which selectively receives a certain amount of voltage. The certain amount of voltage decreases by a certain amount during a period of time, as the capacitor 18 charges. The circuit 10 further includes a controller 16 which measures this period of time and which utilizes this measured period of time to determine whether an electrical assembly 12 is coupled to an electrically grounded member 14.
