  • In situ microwave insect eradication device with safety system
    Patent number: 5575106
    Abstract: An in situ microwave insect eradication system (10) has a remotely deployed movable horn array subassembly (12), a proximity detector subsystem (14), a local control unit (16), and an energy absorbent backdrop (20). The horn array subassembly (12) can deploy a number of microwave horn units (32) in both horizontal or vertical arrays. The microwave horn units (32) are controlled by the local control unit (16) which determines the order, duration, and repetition of energy emitted. The proximity detector subsystem can immediately shut down the eradication system (10) upon detecting a body, such a human or pet. The backdrop (20) is deployed opposite the horn array subassembly (12) to absorb residual microwave energy.
