  • Publication number: 20250169486
    Abstract: Bait stations are disclosed that include a housing having a lower casing including a base with a first surface. The base includes an inner wall extending upward from the base toward a top edge and an outer wall extending downward from the top edge toward the base. The bait station includes an upper casing with a dome having a top surface. The dome includes an upper ramped front surface including a plurality of apertures arranged in a side-by-side arrangement. Wherein, the upper casing is coupled to the lower casing, and the plurality of apertures are spaced apart from the first surface of the base.

  • Patent number: 12239120
    Abstract: Bait stations are disclosed that include a housing having an upper casing and a lower casing coupled to form an interior cavity. A pad, gel, or variations thereof that carry food are disposed within the interior cavity. The lower casing includes a base having a peripheral flange that defines an outer edge, an outer wall that is spaced apart from the outer edge and extends upwardly from the peripheral base flange to a top edge, and an inner wall that extends from the top edge to a first surface to define a receiving space therein. The upper casing includes a plurality of apertures that are configured to allow insects therethrough into the interior cavity.

  • Publication number: 20190024954
    Abstract: A heat exchange system operating on a vapor compression cycle is capable of operating in both an air conditioning mode and a heat pump mode. The heat exchange system can include a parallel flow heat exchanger that operates as a condenser in one mode and as an evaporator in the other mode. The heat exchanger can include a first, second, and third fluid manifold, with fluid conduits connecting the first and second fluid manifolds, and with additional fluid conduits connecting the second and third fluid manifolds. The heat exchanger can be configured to transfer heat between a working fluid traveling through the fluid conduits and another fluid, such as an air flow passing over the fluid conduits.

  • Publication number: 20070284086
    Abstract: A transition assembly is provided for connecting a heat exchanger to an external flow path. The assembly includes a fluid connection tube and a transition tube. The ends of the fluid connection tube and the transition tube are sized such that one tube may be inserted within the other tube. A portion of the exterior tube may then be deformed to retain the interior tube. The ends may be shaped by conventional methods such as swaging.
