Patent number: 8715704Abstract: The invention relates to a lure for attracting, and in some circumstances, killing dust mites, especially house dust mites. The lure comprises neryl formate and/or limonene and is usually arranged in powder form to allow it to be shaken over an area containing the mites. What about liquid that dries.Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2009Date of Patent: May 6, 2014Assignees: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, Rothamsted Research LimitedInventors: Amanda Skelton, Mary Cameron, Michael Alexander Birkett, John Anthony Pickett

Patent number: 8221736Abstract: cis-Jasmone has been discovered to be useful as a semiochemical that changes the behavior of insects and/or the physiology of plants. It has direct signalling roles with plant-feeding aphids, in attraction of aphid predators and parasitoids, and may act as an airborne signal inducing production of volatile plant semiochemicals, including the monoterpene (E)-?-ocimene, that stimulate foraging by parasitoids. It is an extremely benign compound having, to human beings, a pleasant aroma and gives a long-lasting effect after removal of the stimulus.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2010Date of Patent: July 17, 2012Assignee: Rothamsted Research LimitedInventors: Alastair James Hick, John Anthony Pickett, Lester John Wadhams, Johnathan Andrew Napier

Patent number: 3979527Abstract: An improved method of making hop oil is described involving steam distilling the hop oil under vacuum at a temperature not exceeding 50.degree.C. The distillate can be collected by cooling to less than -20.degree.C. The collected distillate or hop oil extracted therefrom can be used in beer making processes to give beer having a hop character very similar to that obtained by dry hopping.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1975Date of Patent: September 7, 1976Assignee: Brewing Patents LimitedInventors: Derek Roy James Laws, John Anthony Pickett
