Abstract: A low-profile mezzanine connector. The connector is simple to manufacture and can be reliably formed even with a stack height of 4 mm or less yet has high signal integrity. The connector has a field of identically shaped contacts that are functionally differentiated through features of the housing, including lossy material in patches with narrower projections electrically coupled to contacts designated as ground contacts. The mating portions of the contacts are adjacent a wall of the housing, which is tapered to increase the effective dielectric constant in the vicinity of the signal contacts. Each contact may have a hole in it to engage an insertion tool to enable repeatable and stable insertion of the contacts into a housing. The footprint for mounting the connector to a PCB may include signal vias offset from the mounting pads for signal contacts.

Abstract: Compositions including alum and a smectite mineral material for the clarification of bodies of water by removal of dissolved solids, dissolved organic materials and other anions such as fluoride and chloride as well as the removal of total phosphorus from such bodies of water.

Abstract: Compositions including pellets of alum, a smectite mineral material, and optionally sodium or calcium carbonate, that can be delivered to a phosphate impoundment located at or near the bottom of a body of water. The pellets of alum, smectite mineral material and optionally sodium or calcium carbonate are dropped in a body of water, and the alum is released over time, as the pellet descends to the bottom of the body of water.

Abstract: Compositions including pellets of alum, a smectite mineral material and optionally sodium or calcium carbonate that can be delivered to a phosphate impoundment located at the bottom of a body of water at the bottom. The pellets of alum, smectite mineral material and optionally sodium or calcium carbonate are dropped through the body of water so that the alum is released when the pellet reaches the bottom of the impoundment thereby treating the phosphates.

Abstract: Herbicidally active thiolcarbamates are employed in combination with certain thiolcarbamate, thionocarbamate, thiolcarbamate sulfone, thiolcarbamate sulfoxide, dithiocarbamate or carbamate extender compound, the latter in sufficient quantity to minimize soil degradation and to prolong the soil life of the former. As a result, the herbicidal effectiveness of the thiolcarbamate herbicide is significantly enhanced and prolonged, rendering a single application or multiple applications of the herbicide effective over a longer period of time. Such herbicidal compositions can optionally contain a non-phytotoxic antidotally effective amount of thiolcarbamate herbicide antidote.

Abstract: Herbicidally active thiocarbamates are employed in combination with organophosphorothioates and -dithioates and -phosphonothioates, -dithioates and -trithioates, the latter in sufficient quantity to prevent soil degradation of the former. As a result, the herbidical effectiveness of the thiocarbamate is significantly enhanced and prolonged, rendering a single application of the herbicide effective over a longer period of time. Such herbicidal compositions can optionally contain a non-phytotoxic antidotally effective amount of an amide of haloalkanoic or dihaloalkanoic acid.
