  • Patent number: 8622546
    Abstract: An algorithm locates valid light spots produced on an image detector by a wavefront of interest. The algorithm includes sequentially examining pixels of the image detector to determine for each of the pixels whether the light intensity detected by the pixel is greater than a threshold, When the pixel's detected light intensity is determined to be greater than the threshold, the algorithm includes: determining whether the pixel belongs to a valid light spot; and when the pixel is determined to belong to a valid light spot; saving data indicating a location for the valid light spot; and masking out a group of pixels of the image detector at the determined location such that the masked pixels are considered to have a light intensity less than the threshold for a remainder of the sequential examination.

  • Publication number: 20060241097
    Abstract: Insecticidal and acaricidal compositions comprising an insecticidally or acaricidally effective amount of a 1,2,5-thiadiazole of the formula (I); wherein R, Q and m are as defined in admixture with at least one agriculturally acceptable extender or adjuvant are disclosed. In addition, methods of controlling insects and acarids comprising applying said compositions to a locus of crops where control is desired are disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20060111342
    Abstract: It has now been found that certain tricyclic derivatives have provided unexpected insecticidal activity. These compounds are represented by formula I: wherein R1 through R8, inclusively, and X and Y are fully described. Compositions comprising an insecticidally effective amount of at least one compound of formula I, and optionally, an effective amount of at least one of a second compound, with at least one insecticidally compatible carrier are also disclosed; along with methods of controlling insects comprising applying said compositions to the locus where insects are present or are expected to be present.

  • Publication number: 20050143418
    Abstract: It has now been found that certain novel heterocyclic derivatives have provided unexpected insecticidal activity. These compounds are represented by formula (I): R Preferred are those compounds of formula (I) where R2 and R3 taken together is ?NCH(R6)CH(R7)N(R8)—, ?NC(R6)?C(R7)N(R8)—, or ?CHN?C(R7)N(R8)—, and tautomers thereof, and where R4 and R5 taken together is —C(R11)?C(R12)C(R13)?C(R14) 1 12, —, where R,R,R 6, R 7, R8, R I1, R R 13, R 14, and X are described. In addition, compositions comprising an insecticidally effective amount of at least one compound of formula (I), and optionally, an effective amount of at least one of a second compound, with at least one insecticidally compatible carrier are also disclosed; along with methods of controlling insects comprising applying said compositions to a locus where insects are present or are expected to be present.
