Abstract: The present invention describes capsule compositions consisting of crosslinked chitosan, beta-glucan or alginate, and encapsulates an environmentally compatible insecticide, especially larvicidal agents such as essential oils or essential oil components or other ingestible larvicides such as Bacillus thuringiensis which are lethal to the larvae and adults of pest insects, especially mosquito larvae.

Abstract: The present invention describes capsule compositions consisting of crosslinked chitosan, beta-glucan or alginate, and encapsulates an environmentally compatible ingestible larvicide, especially larvicidal agents such as essential oils or other ingestible larvicides such as Bacillus thuringiensis which are lethal to the larvae of pest insects, especially mosquito larvae.

Abstract: A larvicide comprising an essential oil encapsulated within a non-viable yeast cell. The larvicide is particularly effective against mosquito larvae, non-toxic to humans and other non-target species, inexpensive to make, and non-toxic during manufacture, transport, and storage.

Abstract: The invention contemplates a method of transfer, involving opening one or more trust accounts associated with a plurality of accounts with at least one financial institution, creating a plurality of money account cards with each of the plurality of money account cards associated with a live account associated with the entire amount in the trust account opened and maintained by company with at least one financial institutions, distributing the money account cards to retailers, retailing the money account cards to customers for distribution of the cards to cardholders, receiving money from the customers, applying the money to predetermined accounts of the plurality of accounts, receiving requests from cardholders to access the money in the predetermined accounts, and dispersing funds from the predetermined accounts in response to the requests from cardholders.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, latency measurement related to touch screen response may be facilitated. In some embodiments, a robotic member may be moved to perform a physical contact with a touch screen of a device. Frame change rates of the touch screen may be monitored. A response end time of a response depicted on the touch screen may be determined based on the monitored frame change rates of the touch screen, where the touch-screen-depicted response is a response to. A latency of the touch screen response to the first contact may be determined based on a contact time of the physical contact and the response end time.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, carrier-specific configuration of a user device may be facilitated based on pre-stored information for multiple carriers. In some embodiments, a user device may store information for limited access (that allows the user device to obtain carrier-specific parameters from carrier networks). During activation, the user device may select one of the carrier networks on which the user device is to be configured to operate. Responsive to the selection, the user device may provide, to a carrier-side computer system on the selected carrier network, a request for limited access to the selected carrier network for configuring the user device, wherein the request comprises the stored access information that allows the user device to obtain carrier-specific parameters via the selected carrier network. Responsive to the limited access being granted, the user device may obtain a configuration package from the carrier-side computer system comprising parameters for configuring the user device.

Abstract: A system for providing a consistent user experience of an application across disparate mobile devices comprises a computing device including a display analysis application, and one or more mobile devices including a display analysis application is provided. In one example, a mobile device comprises a memory storing a version of an operating system, a display analysis patch, and a patched application. A consistency module of the mobile device is configured to access the application with the display analysis patch, obtain one or more display parameters of the mobile device via the application with the display analysis patch, and transmit the obtained one or more display parameters to a computing device.

Abstract: An larvicide comprising an essential oil encapsulated within a non-viable yeast cell. The larvicide is particularly effective against mosquito larvae, non-toxic to humans and other non-target species, inexpensive to make, and non-toxic during manufacture, transport, and storage.
