Abstract: An equipment security system includes one or more sensors or optical recording devices disposed on or inside a cargo container. A computing device receives data from the one or more sensors or optical recording devices, determines whether an event has occurred at the cargo container, determines a geofence associated with the cargo container, and selects or configures a dynamic script including instructions that specify whether to begin recording an event occurring at or inside the cargo container, whether to record the event in an overwritable, local memory associated with at least one of the one or more sensors or optical recording devices or the computing device, parameters that govern how data associated with the event will be recorded, and whether to upload the data from the local memory to a remote server.

Abstract: A soil opening implement comprising a frame (5) adapted to be moved across a ground surface to be opened, a soil opener (1) mounted on the frame for a repetitive cyclic movement to case the soil opener to penetrate the ground at a plurality of spaced positions to form a line of holes in the soil, and adjustment for varying the pitch of the holes, that is the spacing between adjacent holes in the direction of movement of the implement. The implement has the facility to deliver objects, such as seeds to fertilizer granules in the holes, either one object per hole or multiple objects per hole. The implement includes a hopper (11) for holding a supply of objects and for delivering the objects to the soil opener which is in the form of a substantially vertical hollow tube (11b) through which the objects are fed and delivered to the holes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a soil opening implement comprising a frame (5) adapted to be moved across a ground surface to be opened, a soil opener (1) mounted on the frame for a repetitive cyclic movement to cause the soil opener to penetrate the ground at a plurality of spaced positions to form a line of holes in the soil, and means for varying the pitch of the holes, that is the spacing between adjacent holes in the direction of movement of the implement, the implement having the facility to deliver objects, such as seeds or fertiliser granules in the holes, either one object per hole or multiple objects per hole, wherein the implement includes a hopper (11) for holding a supply of objects and for delivering the objects to the soil opener which is in the form of a substantially vertical hollow tube (11b) through which the objects are fed and delivered to the holes; and wherein the lower end (13) of the tube is angled and tapers to a point, the taper being formed by an angled cut on the trailing side of the opener relativ

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of promoting growth comprising the step of administering an effective amount of a compound of formula I: in which X and Y are either the same or different and selected from a heteroatom; is a double or single bond depending on the heteroatoms X and Y; R1 to R5 are either the same or different and selected from hydrogen or a non-deleterious substituent; and R6 and R7 are either the same or different and selected from hydrogen and a non-deleterious substituent or one of R6 and R7 are absent when there is a double bond present, pharmaceutically or veterinarily acceptable salts or derivatives, pro-drugs, tautomers and/or isomers thereof to a subject in need thereof.

Abstract: A method for modulating the immune response to an immunogen in a human or animal patient comprises administration to the patient of an immunogenically effective amount of the immunogen and an immunomodulatory effective amount of a lipid extract of Perna canaliculus or Mytilus edulis.
