Patent number: 11350627Abstract: Composite materials that are palatable to a wood-destroying pest species and also pesticidal to the pest species can be used in pest control devices and can be used as wood substitutes for structural components, which are resistant to destruction by wood-destroying pests. The composite materials include a thermoplastic polymer, a food material for the pest and a pesticide. The composite material is formed by mixing a thermoplastic polymer, wood fragments or other cellulosic materials and a quantity of pesticide, and thereafter creating a molten material within a mixer, compounder, extruder or the like. The molten material is extruded or molded to form the desired shape.Type: GrantFiled: April 20, 2020Date of Patent: June 7, 2022Assignee: CORTEVA AGRISCIENCEInventors: Robert L. Hill, James E. King, Joseph J. DeMark, Anton Arnoldy, Mike P. Tolley, Donald E. Williams, III, Joseph E. Eger, Jr.

Publication number: 20220153552Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for a stairlift overspeed safety system are disclosed. The overspeed safety system may include a centripetal cam assembly, a trigger assembly, and a jammer assembly. The centripetal cam assembly may include a spring-loaded plate and a plurality of centripetal cams connected to the spring-loaded plate, configured to move to an extended position when the rail speed exceeds the speed threshold. The trigger assembly may include a trigger plate configured to be pushed by at least one of the centripetal cams when moved to the extended position. Pushing the trigger plate may cause a switch to open to shut off power to the motorized stairlift. The jammer assembly may include a jammer configured to wedge between teeth of a rack and pinion of the motorized stairlift to initiate a deceleration to stop movement of the motorized stairlift.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 19, 2020Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: Robert Alexander Pratt, IV, Derek J. Nash, Mark L. Hill, Mark Steven Jackson

Publication number: 20200069884Abstract: An automatic injection device including a housing, a chamber with a first compartment and a second compartment, and a seal structure between the compartments. The seal structure is initially in a sealing condition that seals the first compartment from the second compartment, where the seal includes a plug and an outer sealing member. The plug is slidably movable within the outer sealing member to convert the seal structure from the sealing condition to a mixing condition by opening a path between the first compartment and the second compartment. The automatic injection device also includes a needle assembly and an activation assembly. Activation of the activation assembly causes (1) pressurization of the first compartment, (2) the seal structure to convert from the sealing condition to the mixing condition, and (3) the first and second medicament components to be mixed and forced through the needle assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2019Publication date: March 5, 2020Inventors: Steven Griffiths, Robert L. Hill

Publication number: 20190381255Abstract: An automatic injector dispenses a predetermined dose of medicament without a user having to manually force the needle into an injection site. The automatic injector includes a needle cover having a locked retracted position with respect to the injector housing prior to a medicament dispensing operation. The needle cover is operative to engage an injection site prior to a medicament dispensing operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2019Publication date: December 19, 2019Inventors: Matthew Egerton Young, Sophie Rebecca Raven, Christopher John Hurlstone, Craig Malcolm Rochford, Colin James Mathews, John G. Wilmot, Robert L. Hill
