  • Publication number: 20170015603
    Abstract: A composition of matter having a powderized and or tablet form that can also be dissolved in water solution having the following component compounds adding to a unitary total in ranges of: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate; Citric Acid; Sodium Bicarbonate; Carnauba Wax. The composition has several embodiments indicating various ranges for the compounds therein. Once liquefied the solution can be sprayed unto affected trees in order to provide nutritional benefits that may fight fungi, bacteria and viral pathogens that threaten the well being of plants as well as providing growth enhancing effects; in particular, the psyllid pest is damaged and even killed by the composition. A binding agent is added for its tablet form or alternatively, the carnauba wax is used as a binding agent.

  • Patent number: 4765543
    Abstract: Conventional joints between a fluid line and a body of a fluid injector are typically threaded or brazed. Such threaded joints are sometimes too bulky for certain engine compartments of limited space and such brazed joints are sometimes difficult to make with repeatable high quality.The present invention provides a relatively compact and inexpensive sealed joint for a fluid injector which includes a housing, a body, and a fluid line. The sealed joint is solely formed by an interference fit directly between an end portion of the fluid line and both the housing and an end portion of the body.
