  • Publication number: 20250287935
    Abstract: In order to effectively apply semiochemical treatment products, a computer-implemented method is provided for generating an application scheme for a semiochemical treatment for controlling a harmful organism on an agricultural field using a mobile treatment device comprising at least one dispenser, the method comprising: a) providing information about an expected presence of the harmful organism for an upcoming period; b) providing, based on the expected presence of the harmful organism, a planned application timing of applying the semiochemical treatment for treating the harmful organism on the agricultural field; c) providing product data relating to a semiochemical product capable of targeting the harmful organism; d) providing, at least one of field data or environmental data at the planned application timing, wherein the field data is indicative of a field condition at the planned application timing and/or the environmental data is indicative of an environmental condition at the planned application ti

  • Publication number: 20140358054
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a system for tightening an article about a limb includes a reel based closure system having a tension member that is guided about the article and tensionable to close or tighten the article and a reel based tightening mechanism that is configured to tension the tension member and to maintain the tension member's tension so that the article remains closed or tightened. The system also includes a strap having a first end that is attached to a first edge of the article and a second end that is operably coupled with the reel based closure system so that tensioning of the tension member causes the strap to be tensioned. An intermediate portion of the strap spans a portion of an opening of the article and is slidingly positioned within a ring component that is attached to a second edge of the article.

  • Publication number: 20070224377
    Abstract: Disclosed are processes for rotational molding of thermoplastic polyesters and for hollow articles produced therefrom. The thermoplastic polyesters have a crystallization half time of at least 10 minutes and an inherent viscosity of 0.55 to 0.70 dL/g. Additional thermoplastic polymers may be used to produce multilayered articles.

  • Patent number: 7247268
    Abstract: A cylindrical element is manufactured by a process which includes depositing successive layers of thermoplastic materials in a cycle by rotation moulding, or by a technique enabling a deposit of successive layers, the cycle including at least one deposit by rotation moulding or by a technique enabling deposit of successive layers at a temperature from 170 to 240° C. The cylindrical element contains at least one layer containing an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer with a density at the above temperature of between 0.94 and 1.4, and a melt flow index of between 1.3 and 4.2 g/10 minutes.
