Publication number: 20140194374Abstract: A new method of controlling worm burden in ruminants by using two different injectable anthelmintics at or about the same time to increase the time between treatments and to rely on the animal's immune response. One of the anthelmintics is a long acting formulation capable of providing a sustained release of abamectin or other macrocyclic lactone for 2-14 days, to enable the anthelmintic to remove or kill incoming larvae for a sufficiently long period of time to allow the host to recognise the incoming larvae as foreign, and thus allow the ruminant to mount an immune response against these incoming larvae. The other is a short acting anthelmintic such as levamisole designed to substantially eliminate the initial parasite population of adults, juveniles and larvae. They can be combined into a single injectable formulation with a high percentage of levamisole (preferably over 30% of the formulation w/v) together with about 1% w/v of a macrocyclic lactone such as abamectin, dissolved in glycerol formal.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 14, 2012Publication date: July 10, 2014Applicant: VIRBACInventors: Nicola Jane Cuff, Peter Norman Pulford, Mark Colin Vickers

Publication number: 20130056366Abstract: A method and system for treating a fluid includes an electrode with an outer housing having openings in a side wall thereof, a granular conductive material encapsulated within the outer housing, and an electrical terminal located at least partially within the outer housing and in electrical communication with the granular conductive material, wherein the openings are configured to permit ions in a fluid to be treated to pass there through so as to come into contact with the granular conductive material. The system includes a treatment tank and electrodes within the tank being charged to differing polarities by a voltage source. The method includes applying a first polarity to at least one electrode, oppositely charging one or more of other spaced apart electrodes, and flowing the fluid within the space so as to treat the fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2012Publication date: March 7, 2013Inventors: Brian B.

Publication number: 20110260407Abstract: A bullet trap 1 with grid-like shaping including inclined plates 2. Each inclined plate is shaped with a downward bent edge 4 in the rear longitudinal side. The plates are angled downwards in such a way that a bullet that hits the underside of a plate slides along the surface of the plate before it continuous into the interior of the bullet trap, which decreases the kinetic power compared to previously known bullet traps. Kinetic energy in the bullet is absorbed by the inclined plate to a larger extent than when using previously known bullet traps.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 5, 2008Publication date: October 27, 2011Applicant: THE SMITH OF ODINInventor: Peter Norman
