  • Publication number: 20180027794
    Abstract: An insect trap can include a ramp, a planar surface that can include a coating of pressure sensitive adhesive, and one or a plurality of attractant elements, the attractant elements containing a carbon dioxide generating material.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 11, 2017
    Publication date: February 1, 2018
    Inventors: Thomas C. Hortel, Michael D. Mullins, John W. King
  • Patent number: 9804002
    Abstract: An integral sensor system is provided. In one embodiment, the system includes a sensor installed in a carrier and a component having a body for receiving a fluid. The carrier is integrated into the component to enable the sensor to detect one or more characteristics of the fluid, and the carrier is integrated into the component such that an interface between the carrier and the component is a fully integral pressure boundary without a seal connection between the carrier and the component. The carrier can be welded to the component to form the integral pressure boundary. Additional systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150007485
    Abstract: An insect trap can include a first planar surface, the first planar surface having a retention flap and a flange, where the first planar surface, the retention flap, and the flange can cooperate to define a pouch. The insect trap can include a second planar surface, the second planar surface being substantially parallel to the first planar surface, where at least a portion of the second planar surface can include a coating of pressure sensitive adhesive. The insect trap can include a plurality of spacers, the spacers being positioned between the first planar surface and the second planar surface such that the first planar surface and the second planar surface are spaced apart, and an attractant pad, the attractant pad containing a carbon dioxide generating material, where the attractant pad can be selectively removable from the pouch.
