Abstract: The present invention relates to a slow-release pesticide system in agrarian applications that includes but is not limited solely to insecticide, fungicide and herbicide formulations. The system includes a pesticide incorporated into vesicles that is formed by neutral lipids (thereby enhancing the water solubility of the pesticide). The vesicles that incorporate the pesticide are, in turn, adsorbed, on a clay mineral. The formulations are appropriate for pesticide molecules of any type (hydrophobic, acid and basic). Said pesticide formulation allows slow release of the active ingredient, thereby reducing the risk of pollution of groundwater and surface water.

Abstract: A method and network node are presented to route a signaling message in a SS7/C7 national telecommunication network between a Border Node within a first licensed operator network and a destination node within a second licensed operator network. The first and second licensed operator networks use the same Point Code configuration numbering plan to identify Point Codes of each node into their respective network. The Border Node includes a Message Transfer Part (MTP). Upon receipt of a signaling message, the Message Transfer Part (MTP) of the Border Node maps an Origination Point Code (OPC) and a Destination Point Code (DPC) corresponding to numbering plan values of the one of the licensed operator networks into OPC and DPC corresponding to the other licensed operator network. After that, the MTP replaces the OPC and DPC by the mapped OPC and DPC and the signaling message is sent from the Border Node to the destination node.

Abstract: Apparatus for storing and dispensing kitchen articles includes an upstanding grate adapted to hang kitchen articles, to house kitchen articles, and to dispense kitchen articles. The kitchen articles can be stored and dispensed from locations inside of and outside of the grate.
