  • Patent number: 11490624
    Abstract: Water-based formulations (EW) are provided containing no VOC's or alternatively are low in VOC's for wide area space spray to control mosquitoes, flies, and other public health pests. Application via ULV, these formulations have been observed to provide significantly superior control of pests when compared to competitive adulticides. The present formulations provide exceptional preservation of both droplet density in the spray cloud and droplet size as measured by volume mean diameter (VmD). The present formulations provide superior bio-efficacy as measured by both mortality and knockdown of target organisms. The present formulations provide superior biological control, droplet density, and droplet size when applied at concentrations 20-80× less than competitive formulations.

  • Patent number: 10494805
    Abstract: A water closet flange repair or reinforcement device has an upper portion of an arcuate shape of less than or equal to a semi-circle, with an outer circumference and an inner circumference; a lower portion substantially parallel to the upper portion, having an outer circumference equal to the outer circumference of the upper portion; a side portion along the outer circumferences of the upper and lower portions, defining a squared C-shaped channel between the top, side, and bottom portions of a pre-determined interior height to receive a water closet flange; and bendable tabs extending from the inner circumference on the upper portion, each tab having a first position co-planar with the upper portion and having a second bent position providing a mechanical retention within an inside volume of a water closet flange captured within the C-shaped channel.

  • Patent number: 6249717
    Abstract: A liquid medication dispenser apparatus which provides for user-friendly medication measurement and compliance. The apparatus measures and dispenses liquid medication doses and records the time and dose sizes for up to one year. The recorded information can then be downloaded to a personal computer for evaluation of patient compliance. A disposable, motor driven pump is used to provide a very wide range of medication dispensation volumes, while maintaining full accuracy and reducing the risks of patient errors as might occur with a manual dispense system.
