  • Patent number: 12258199
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for closed fluid delivery include a bottle holding a quantity of fluid. A membrane is positioned over an opening of the bottle to seal the fluid therein. A closed fluid delivery adapter has a first portion with a first mateable end connectable to the bottle along the opening of the bottle and a second portion having a second mateable end positioned to connect to a container. A fluid pathway is between the first and second portions. A puncturing structure is positioned along the fluid pathway. A removable collar is positioned between the first and second portions. The removable collar prevents the first and second portions from moving closer together. Upon removal of the removable collar, the first and second portions are movable closer together, whereby the puncturing structure punctures the membrane to allow flow of the fluid.

  • Patent number: 11116144
    Abstract: Described are systems and methods for treating and/or helping prevent microbial infections on plants and trees by applying a treatment solution to cut areas of the plants or trees that have been exposed during a hedging or topping operation, or the like. The method can include providing a liquid application system including treatment liquid, wherein the liquid application system is integrated with at least one of a motorized hedging and/or topping vehicle, wherein the liquid application dispenses the treatment liquid at a controlled rate of flow from the one or more nozzles and the treatment liquid is applied directly and uniformly from the one or more nozzles on the second boom to the one or more cut areas at the controlled rate of flow.
