Compositions containing 2,4-DC or 2,5-DC and a second herbicide are also disclosed, where the combination does not contain both 2,4-DC and 2,5-DC. Methods of using the same compositions are also described.

Abstract: New formulations of clomazone are provided, as well as new methods for making formulations of clomazone. The new formulations provide improved efficacy, decreased volatility, and/or increased loading of clomazone over the clomazone formulations in the prior art.

Abstract: An emergency alarm activation radio device for preventing false alarms includes a radio being a handheld radio transceiver in wireless communication with a plurality of radio devices. In addition, the radio has a microprocessor containing functions of the radio. An emergency alarm is integrated within the radio for signifying an emergency when actuated. The emergency alarm includes a trigger and a cord protruding out from the trigger and enwrapping a spool for unwinding the cord thus reducing an unintentional engagement with the trigger. The spool is rotatable and a knob rotates the spool when turned by the hand of the user. A handle is attached to the cord of the trigger and is pulled to actuate the trigger.

Abstract: Solid polymorphic forms of sulfentrazone are described. Particularly, a new polymorphic form of sulfentrazone is described herein as sulfentrazone-1, having surprising property advantages over technical sulfentrazone. Processes for the preparation of sulfentrazone-1, herbicidal compositions comprising sulfentrazone-1, and methods of its use are described.

Abstract: An impact detection system is disclosed for detecting and identifying an object colliding with a vehicle. The impact detection system comprises a sensor arrangement arranged to measure a characteristic of an impact of the object against the vehicle, a trigger determiner associated with the sensor arrangement for determining whether the characteristic of the 5 impact is greater than a predefined threshold value, and an image capturing device arranged to capture an image of the object. The system is arranged to automatically make the captured image available for inspection in response to the trigger determiner determining that the characteristic of the impact is greater than the predefined threshold value so that the object in the image can be identified substantially in real-time.

Abstract: The present application describes formulations of clomazone having unexpected reduced volatility in a non-encapsulated emulsifiable concentrate (EC) formulation. The discovery that the volatility of clomazone can be reduced in a non-encapsulated formulation by the addition of certain second active compounds is surprising, and can provide the benefit of faster delivery of clomazone to treated crops, while reducing the damage to neighboring vegetation as a result of clomazone volatility.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of at least one 3-isoxazolidone herbicide selected from the group consisting of 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidone and 2-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)methyl-4,4-dimethyl-3-isoxazolidone as a selective herbicide in a grass or Brassica crop selected from the group consisting of corn, rice, Sorghum, barley, rye, and canola.

Abstract: A dynamic mount for a manufacturing apparatus, the dynamic mount including a housing, an actuation assembly and a support assembly. The housing includes a first axis along a length of the housing and a second axis along a height of the housing, the second axis being perpendicular to the first axis. The actuation assembly is movable along the first axis. The support assembly having a first portion moving between a first position and a second position along the second axis as the actuation assembly moves along the first axis. The first portion of the support assembly prohibiting movement of a second portion of the support assembly when in the first position. The second portion of the support assembly having six degrees of freedom when the first portion is in the second position.

Abstract: An automatic drilling system includes a top drive comprising a proximity sensor disposed in a housing thereof. A portion of the top drive is coupled to elevators through load transfer springs such that axial loading applied to the elevators results in relative movement between a link load collar and a load ring. A proximity sensor is mounted such that the relative movement results in a change in signal output thereof. A processor is in signal communication with the proximity sensor and is configured to operate a drive shaft motor. The processor is configured to disable rotation of the motor when the relative movement is indicative of axial loading on the elevators.
