Abstract: Plant growth compositions include a solvent composition and an active component composition. The solvent composition includes 1-methoxy-2-propanol, glyceryl triacetate, methyl isobutyl ketone, 2-bytoxy ethanol, ethyl acetate, butyl lactate, lactic acid and/or n-butyl pyrrolidone. The active component combination is formulated to increase the growth of a plant, and includes an auxin, a gibberellin, a cytokinin, or a combination thereof. The solvent composition excludes butanol and/or citric acid. The boiling point of the solvent composition is at least about 100° C. and less than about 180° C. The solvent composition is compatible with Rhizobia. A method of improving plant growth involves applying the plant growth composition to plant seeds, which may include soybean seeds, corn seeds, wheat seeds, barley seeds, alfalfa seeds, or combinations thereof, and growing the nascent plants to maturity.

Abstract: Plant growth composition and methods of using plant growth compositions including a solvent composition including propylene glycol and 2-butoxy ethanol and an active component combination formulated to increase growth of a plant. The composition solvent composition may include about 50% or more propylene glycol and about 50% or less 2-butoxy ethanol such as about 50% to about 90% propylene glycol and about 10% to about 50% 2-butoxy ethanol. The plant growth composition may be applied to plant seeds prior to growing the plant seeds into mature plants.

Abstract: A fence system capable of serving as a guide rail assembly for a cutting tool is provided. The system comprises a main beam with integrated or removable guide inserts interlocked by mechanical means that provide a spacing system for various handheld plasma torches. The inserts are customizable to fit the profile of various torch bodies and provide a precise preset gap for optimized cutting. The main beam can also incorporate storage of consumable parts for the torch as well as additional guide inserts.

Abstract: A microstrip trombone delay line is used to provide a low cost true time delay device. An array of printed trombone lines arranged in a network is used to implement a linear beamformer. The beamformer forms an array that scans signals in one or more dimensions. Each microstrip trombone delay line includes printed traces on a fixed substrate and a printed trombone line on a movable superstrate. The microstrip trombone delay line may have different dimensions to vary the characteristic impendence at either end for impedance matching purposes. Beamformers using microstrip trombone delay lines and scanning in multiple principal planes require few movable parts and only linear actuators.
