Abstract: A gripper may include a plate, a suction manifold, one or more attachment mechanisms, and one or more suction cups. The plate may have a body and one or more extremities and each extremity may have one or more slots formed therethrough. The suction manifold may be connected to the body of the plate. The one or more suction cups may each be attached to the plate via one of the attachment mechanisms and may be fluidly connected to the suction manifold. The attachment mechanisms may each extend through one of the slots of the plate. Each attachment mechanism may be configured to be tightened, loosened, and repositioned by hand.

Abstract: The invention relates to a portable luminous trap for flying or crawling insects. A fluorescent lamp in the center of an insect ingress zone attracts the insects. Transparent baffles radiating outwardly from the lamp act as walls and an insect hitting a baffle is stunned and drops downwardly, through a funnel opening into an entrapment container therebelow. The funnel also helps prevent escape of still-living insects from the container. An alkaline dry cell battery powers the lamp, test circuits for the battery and the lamp, and a clock circuit. A photocell is used to activate the trap at dusk and the setting for the clock circuit determines the length of time that the lamp is activated each night.

Abstract: A multi functional high capacity insect trap for efficiently trapping insects especially flying insects. The insect trap uses a lure to attract the insects and comprises a base wall, a side wall and a funnel member, attached to the side wall, with its narrow end directed at the base wall. The base and side walls with the funnel member delimit an insect receiving chamber for retaining the insects in the trap. The side wall has also openings situated above the funnel member and a cover attached over the side wall, the cover being equipped with a lure mounting means for receiving a lure.
